Health Benefits of Juicing in Winter

Aren’t winters absolutely blissful? The snowfall, the snug outfits, the warmth of the hearth and the cheer of the holidays! There are way too many reasons to love this season. Seems like the perfect setting, right? It is until you fall prey to winter’s agony. The lousy flu, dry and flaky skin and your immunity levels at an all time low are set out to ruin the season’s brilliance for you. While you pop vitamin pills and make countless visits to the doctor, you forget the most essential thing your body requires. It needs a diet rich in vegetables and fruit to boost your immunity levels that have taken a dip.

Freshly squeezed juice is the healthiest option to rejuvenate your body. Unlike most processed drinks, it does not contain synthetic colors and flavours.

Here are 10 Health Benefits of Juicing in Winter!

1. They Are Rich In Antioxidants:

Our immune system often fails to defend the body during winters. The antioxidants derived from fruit and vegetable juices help detoxify the body and protect it from free radical damage. Juices come packed with phyto-chemicals that improve health and prevent the possibility of diseases.

2. They Help Meet Dietary Requirements:

More often than not, we tend to let ourselves loose on what we eat during winter months. Unfortunately, indulging in holiday treats doesn’t help the body get its required dose of essential nutrients. Consuming fresh fruits and vegetable juices helps the body gain high amounts of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that improve overall bodily functions. You also have the benefit of choosing from a wide spectrum of fruits and vegetables each day.

3. They Keep The Body Hydrated:

It’s a common myth that dehydration is just a summer thing. Not true! It is as easy to get dehydrated in winter as it is in summer. The problem gets further aggravated due to the body’s decreased intake of fluids in winter. Fruits and vegetables juices not only help improve the body’s immunity function but they are also an excellent (and delicious) means to keeping the body hydrated.

4. They Give The Skin A Glow:

Winter can be tough on your skin, making it dry and dull. Sure there are plenty of moisturizers and creams that promise to give you supple skin, but fresh juices are a natural way to get just that. Beauty experts world over can go on about the benefits of fresh fruit and vegetable juices for the skin. Juices revitalize skin cells giving it a healthy glow. Cucumber juice is a good source of silica and Vitamin C, which improves the collagen levels and repairs tissue damage. The high levels of antioxidants in cucumber juice help fight free radicals that cause acne, blemishes and wrinkles. Use watermelon juice as a toner to maintain soft, healthy and younger looking skin.

5. They Aid Digestion:

Holiday eating can lead to many digestive problems like diarrhea, constipation and heartburns. Yet again, fresh juices come to your rescue. Juices are easier to digest than whole foods, as they do not need to break down like the other foods. The micronutrients are assimilated within 10 to 15 minutes. Enjoy the wholesome benefits of fruits like persimmon, apples and grapes and vegetables like cabbage and carrots. Fresh fruit juices contain carotenoids and potassium that can help strengthen and disinfect the digestive system.

6. They Improve Metabolism:

Winter may seem the worst time to stay in shape. The cold weather makes you want to stay in your cushy blanket rather than going out for a jog. The delectable food spread at holiday parties is too irresistible to refuse. What do you do then? You turn to fresh juices! Grapefruit juice is well known for its metabolism boosting properties. It helps the body regulate insulin levels and thus metabolize fat, better. Drinking beetroot juice is also a great way to improve metabolism in winter owing to its detoxifying properties. Fresh juices can help you lose weight quickly and safely, without resorting to heavy workouts and crash diet.

7. It Improves Heart Health:

Shoveling snow is a common winter tradition, but did you know, it can trigger heart attacks? Tomato juice is rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that reduces inflammation which is a common cause of cardiovascular diseases. It can lower risk of heart disease by almost 48%.

8. They Help Ease Stress:

The immune system weakens during winters, making you feel stressed and depressed. Fresh juices rich in vitamin C like orange and carrot juice can help ease stress and calm nerves by allowing the body to clear out cortisol, a primary stress hormone that increases sugars in the bloodstream. Vitamin C also helps to improve focus and mental clarity.

9. They Fight Infections:

Because of the body’s weakened immune system in winter, one is more susceptible to infections. Brussels sprouts juice is rich in vitamin C and K, which help a great deal in fighting infections and improving immunity. It also contains sulforaphane, which reduces risk of cancer and lowers cholesterol.

10. They Are Energy Boosters:

Commonly known as winter blues, people often find themselves low on energy during this season. It is thus important to provide the body with electrolytes and sugar to energize the system. One method of obtaining energy and overcoming the winter gloom is by consuming juice daily. The high concentration of natural sugar also helps to regulate blood glucose levels.
