With spring and summer months fast approaching, we believe that it’s never too late or early to start a new habit. New habits can be an exercise regime, an eating habit, or even a project like juicing.
Yes, we said juicing!
Juicing has many beneficial beauty, health and financial gains that will not only make you glow but also increase in overflow. Some of the benefits include losing weight, mental alertness, glowing skin, and an immune system boost.
Have we convinced you to start juicing? If so, we have provided four tips to get you started on your juicing journey.
Tip 1: Why do you want to start juicing?
Make sure you do your research and outline your Juicing goals. Also, set that budget for the weeks or months to come for that juicer and grocery list consisting of fruits and vegetables.
Tip 2: Which juicing method do you want to use for maximum results?
Purchase a juicer! Juicers range between $30 to $200. However, if you aren’t interested in purchasing a juicer and worrying about things breaking, you can always use the manual method.
The manual method includes cheesecloth, a blender, a measuring cup, and a mason jar. This method takes longer but we know that you will definitely save more money and get more nutritional benefits.
Tip 3: What types of juices do you want to enjoy and benefit from?
