Juicing is excellent source of nutrients and enzymes...i have been doing it for many many years....the chlorophyll in dark green vegetables is a natural chelator of heavy metals in the blood and also carries oxygen throughout the blood stream it also binds carcinogens...chlorophyll has the identical molecluar structure of hemoglobin. juicing has a cleansing affect in the colon and when drank on an empty stomach is easily assimilated and absorbed. beets & dandelion for instance support and cleanse the liver. juicing is a vital part of health, especially since our bodies are so overburned by environmental toxins like never before hystorically, which is why the current cancer rate in America is 41%.....

i have a Breville juicer and i love it Smile

This is an area that I'm well familiar with. Actually you get more nutrients, vitamins, and minerals by juicing than you do just eating raw vegetables/fruits. A lot of nutrients/vitamins are destroyed when it passes though the digestive tract. But when juiced, it is striped of most of the fiber and bypasses the digestive tract and goes strait to the blood to be carried out through the body within minutes vs 12 to 14 hour of digesting and breaking down meals with waste. Also you can get 800 percent ABOVE all your daily vitamin needs in 1 glass of juiced veggies. If you have problems eating a pile of veggies juicing is the way to go, put those 10 plates in one glass. The health benfits are amazing, I have a friend that was sent home to die with 4 stage cancer and he start the "Gerson therapy" juicing apples and carrots everyday and a few months later he was cancer free. But for Bodybuilders I would try to incorporate it in my daily diet but don't make it all of your diet, a bodybuilder does need fiber in his diet cause we tend to eat a lot of protein and carb but that doesn't mean to throw the concept out of the window, a glass a day more than enough.

I was really into it for a while but I hated cleaning the damn thing out. Plus you can't make much at a time because it loses it's nutrients. Good luck.

I'm not a huge fan of juicing - blending absolutely yes, but juicing no. I personally believe it's better to have all the pulp and fiber but each to their own.

Would having a cup of juice post work out be optimal? ( along with my shake & carb)

Every morning I wake up and juice a ton of random stuff. This morning I tossed a ton of kale, a banana, some hemp milk, maple almond butter, hemp seeds, and my plant fusion protein powder in a blender and ran that mother until I had a thick green brew. It tastes pretty good. I'm vegan so I eat a ton of raw foods in general. The morning blend is a good way to get those micronutrients in the AM. Just try different things. Yesterday I made a wicked juice. Pineapple, kale, spinach, basil, lemon, unflavored protein powder, hemp seeds, and spirulina. It was the fawking bomb.

A buddy of mine juiced a glass full of beets and chugged it.He puked for about a day and a half.It took him over a year to be able to look at a beet and not gag.lol So I don't recommend just beets.Mix it with other things like the guys below.
