  • Mother Nature's apples provide numerous health benefits. So does the art of juicing. Consuming the juice of fresh-squeezed apples provides a plethora of healthy rewards for the human body.

    Benefit 1: Meet Healthy Recommended Daily Allowance

    Nutritionists recommend a daily consumption of 4 to 5 cups of fruits and vegetables. The best way to squeeze a healthy amount of fruits into your diet is to practice the art of juicing apples. Apples contain the ABCs of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.

    Benefit 2: Get the ABCs of Vitamins and Minerals

    Apples contain Vitamins A, B (B1, B2, B5, B6, B9, B12) and C. They pack several minerals as well, including niacin, phosphorous, magnesium, iron, and potassium. Juicing apples and drinking the sweet nectar boosts your absorption of these nutrients.

    Benefit 3: Feed the Brain

    Apples contain substances called phytonutrients. According to Merriam Webster, a phytonutrient is a "bioactive plant-derived compound associated with positive health effects." More specifically, phytonutrients feed the brain. Apples and juicing go hand-in-hand, effectively nourishing one of your most vital organs.

    Benefit 4: Experience Easy Absorption

    Consuming juiced apples facilitates absorption of the vital micro- and macro-nutrients found in raw, fresh, organic fruit. Juice is easily absorbed through the intestine walls, therefore the nutrients are easily digested. Eating cooked or processed apples does not provide the full extent of these benefits, as many of the nutrients are lost through these processes.

    Benefit 5: Keep Calories to a Minimum

    The nectar of juiced apples is very low in calories and does not contain the processed sugars included in typical store-bought varieties. Juicing apples is an excellent way to limit caloric consumption.
