Juices vs Smoothies
We all know that incorporating both juices and smoothies into ones daily diet can have a tremendous effect on one’s health, especially if there aren’t any other whole fresh fruit and vegetables being eaten. One of the questions I receive a lot is “what is the difference between a juice and a smoothie and which one should I be drinking?” Many people seem to group them into the same category but there are some differences between the two including the way they are made and the effects that they have on the body.
If you asked ten people what healthy meant you would probably get ten different answers. Healthy can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Some would say being able to run a six minute mile is considered healthy, some would say just being able to eat, breath, and sleep is healthy. Some may even say as long as you are walking without holes in your chest then you are looked at as a healthy human. We can all agree on one thing that there are many definitions of the word. On a daily basis we see everything from fitness ads to pharmaceutical drugs that are supposed to get us “healthy”, but unfortunately none of these in the true sense is the correct definition of the word. Although I did not know it at the time, I like thousands of other people was in the dark. I was truly ignorant to what true health really was. All I knew was that I needed to change. I was obviously unhealthy and lacking any of the healthy attributes mentioned above. I looked into all avenues, but the word that turned my life upside down was the word “vegan”.
