The body enjoys the richness of raw vegetables as cooking foods tends to destroy much of the nutritional value in regards to the vitamins and minerals inherent in the food. One option that is delicious and simple to do, not to mention convenient on those days when a person is short on time is to turn your vegetables into drinks by juicing them. In case you are concerned that the high quantity of fiber will be lost by breaking down the vegetables in a juicer, that will not happen as plenty of fiber will be retained even in the juice state. In fact there is enough fiber in vegetable juices to more than supply the body's need for it.

Asparagus works well as a mild form of a diuretic and is an excellent addition to any vegetable juice concoction. Beets are vegetables with an acquired taste that are loaded with vitamins and minerals. The two biggest benefits of beets are that they build blood to make it as strong and hardy as possible and they extremely good at strengthening the work of the gall bladder. When preparing beets do not throw away the tops when you cut them off but instead use them for salad greens. Never prepare beet juice on its own as it can be extremely strong and is likely to upset the stomach. Always blend beets with other vegetables when making vegetable juice.

Cabbage is best combined with other vegetables and not standing on its own. Cabbage juice cannot be adequately stored, therefore never make more than you can drink at any one sitting. If you are making a vegetable juice that includes cabbage always juice this vegetable after all of the others and then drink it fresh and fast from the juicer. Juicing can be fun and there is a real art to it so if this method of getting your daily veggies appeals to you, buy yourself an inexpensive juicer and then search the Internet for a multitude of healthy and frothy recipes.
