Juicing is a fantastic way to consume a significant amount of nutrients from fruits and vegetables. Studies have shown that over time regular juicing once a day can improve folate and antioxidant levels, including beta carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E. The stigma once surrounding juicing and juicers has faded, and many of the myths
debunked. Let’s explore juice recipes you must try to make this fall.
Grape Apple Cranberry Juice
For this recipe, you’ll need to gather:
- Four cups of concord grapes

Juicing Lecture in Vienna Austria
Several years ago I was invited to the 5th World Anesthesia Convention in Vienna, Austria. I was one of the guest speakers that were part of their humanities lectures for this four-day conference. My talk was about juicing, proper nutrition, and how this all relates to doctors that work under high stress in operating rooms around the world. If the doctors are interested in learning more about juicing so should you. Give one of the above recipes a try and begin you’re daily juicing regimen today.
