Micronutrients are comprised of vitamins and minerals...
Consume fruits, vegetables, seeds, beans and whole grains.
Let's first explore the need for vitamins and minerals and then talk about where to get the best sources. Vitamins are divided into two categories: water-soluble and fat-soluble. The water-soluble ones at Vitamins B & C are flushed out daily through urination, therefore, they must be consumed daily to be effective. The other ones, Vitamins A, D, E & K are the fat soluble vitamins and can be toxic in abundance. What is the best way to get these vitamins??? JUICING!
Minerals come from the earth; they are from the periodic table of elements. Do you remember that from high school chemistry? The most common misconception about consuming these minerals is through eating animals. However, let's go through the process quickly. The earth produces these magical elements that can help reverse and prevent many common health problems. Then, the grass and plants grows up from the earth, also magically. Here's where it gets misunderstood. Eating animals is not the best source of these minerals. Rather eating the plants themselves will produce a better effect in the human body, including a better absorption rate. So instead of eating animals, or drinking milk for calcium, try eating vegetables like dark green leafy vegetables.
What's the difference between juicing and blending?
When we use a juicer to extract the micronutrients from fruits and vegetables, we are taking the fiber out which makes consuming more volume easier. In the above picture is what I consume for a day on the juicing reboot. I can hardly image eating a whole bunch of celery, half of bunch of spinach, half a bunch of kale, two cucumbers, two lemons, eight carrots, plus all the fruit in one day. Well, maybe I can image eating the fruit. But the vegetables are a power house for pH balancing. Let's have a listen to Joe the Juicer, a pioneer in the Juicing World and film star of "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead," explain the difference in his video below...

I have just completed a five day juicing reboot. In fact, I feel so good that I've decided to go another five days and see how much better I can feel. It wasn't all this good. In the beginning, the first two days I was coming off a four-cup-coffee daily routine, so I had terrible headaches. They were gone by day three, but the nausea took over for that day. On day four, I had so much energy, more than I was used drinking coffee. I drank unlimited amounts of herbal tea to help the hunger pains. I make a vegan vegetable soup with lots of ayurvedic spices, like tumeric, coriander, black pepper, cumin, ginger, cloves, and cayenne. Below are some of my recipes I use for my reboot. I hope you give it a try and leave a comment below sharing your experience.
Start with the Morning Power Cleanse, have your second juice in the mid-morning, then a protein smoothie for lunch, followed by a green juice in the afternoon and a light vegan soup for dinner. Drink lots of spring and coconut water and herbal tea to combat any hunger pains.
