Glamorously InStyle
We love to interact with our customers, getting their opinions, solving some doubts and having laughs together over some of our findings on the Internet! Love the discussion we had together. That is the reason askjuiced sessions were created, so we could get together and share our ideas about juicing and healthy living.
Here are some common questions we had for our first session of "askjuiced" held about a week ago. Do keep the questions coming and we are looking forward to the second session together sometime around Christmas. Join us for a chat or drop us an email to be featured in our #askjuiced session.
Juicing
is currently trending right now. While it is said to be all good for our body
but I am not too excited about not having solids. How can one survive only on
liquid, veggies and fruits? #askjuiced
Yeap!
We at G.I.Juicery thinks that it is not beneficial to be living on juice alone
for long term but our body needed that break from all the harmful radicals from
time to time and juicing is proven to be the most effective ways. Each bottle
is formulated with the correct combination of fruits and vegetables to keep you
satiated. We also believe that with our cleanse, you will pick-up some
excellent habits along the way, such as drinking adequate amount of water,
getting the sufficient amount of fruits and vegetables servings and making
better and wiser food choices. While on normal days, JFE was created by us for
you to maintain a healthy lifestyle yet still enjoy your food.
What
is the difference? Why is cold-pressed the best way to enjoy my vegetables? I
am still consuming my vegetables via stir fry, steam, soup, paste and etc.
#askjuiced
The most important point is keeping the
micronutrients and enzymes in our vegetables intact to benefit fully from it.
Micronutrients and enzymes are very vulnerable to heat, by stir frying,
steaming, making soup or paste you are actually destroying a lot of the
important micronutrients and enzymes. We would suggest eating RAW but to many
it is not palatable, hence we cold-pressed these vegetables for you, so that
you get to enjoy the taste while getting the full advantage of consuming your
vegetables RAW.
I
was told that juicing starves the body and in so breaks down muscle mass to get
fuel. Is that true? #askjuiced
There is absolutely no truth to this
statement. According to metabolic biochemistry study, juicing is not starvation;
Firstly, it is simply replacing your
solid intakes with right combinations of vegetables and fruits. During cleanse,
you will be partaking 7 bottles of Juice’d each day which consist of 10 to 14
kilograms of produce. Starvation during your cleanse? Highly Unlikely!
Secondly, muscle breakdown. The body
number one fuel is CARBOHYDRATE, follow by fat and lastly protein. Our body is
built in the way to be resilient and smart at the same time. Juice’d cleanse is
schedule in a way where we constantly top-up your body’s need for fuel. Firstly
there are carbohydrates in the form of fructose found in fruits and also honey
that we formulate into our bottles of Juice’d. Next we have almond, cashew and
corn to replenish and energize you. Therefore it is not possible that your body
will need to burn your muscle mass during juicing to get fuel. Juice’d without
worries!
From information online, I was told that juicing consist no
protein & healthy fats and our body is merely subsisting on carbohydrate
alone, wouldn’t the glucose from fruits and vegetables cause sudden surge of
insulin? #askjuiced
The Internet is the source of all
sorts of information; we developed a love-hate relationship with it. We love it
because it opens up our world to tones of information that will take us years
to digest but we also need to weigh the source and verify the information we
got online. There is absolutely no truth to the claim that juicing consist no
protein and healthy fats. Do quick checks on the ingredient of each bottle of
Juice’d. You will find that it consists of healthy combination items that
balance out protein and healthy fats, in just the right portion the body needs.
Some of my friends said our hair will shed and our nails will
turn brittle and not shiny due to the lack of protein if we were to sign on a juice
cleanse as we are not getting enough protein from liquefied kale. #askjuiced
According to Reference Nutrient
Intake (RNI), indeed it is true we get only 4% of protein from 100g of kale,
that is the reason why we combine example: almond = 42%*, cashew = 36%*, corn =
18%* to make a total balance cleanse. Although protein is the main source of
healthy shiny hair and nail, a balance of other important nutrients such as Iron,
Folate and Beta-Carotene found in our spinach and Vitamin A in carrots make
them shine and grow healthily. Our body does not survive solely on Protein but
various arrays of nutrients to shine bright and healthy.
* Statistic is shown
for 100g of each produce.
Fresh-pressed green juice has two whole apples in it which
turn into hundreds of empty sugar calories, we might over consume and also
drinking is not as satisfying as consuming apples whole. #askjuiced
Although we are not to disclose our
recipes, we are very sure you are misinformed about the two whole apples in a
single serving of green juice. Each bottle is carefully thought through and
made by our nutritionist so that none of the nutrients go to waste and no
over-indulgence will occur. Test out the color and taste as well, green juice
with two whole apple will come out pale green while the combinations of healthy
fruits & vegetables in Juice’d will give you darker green appearance, as
for taste two whole apples in a bottle will certainly dominate the serving and
the taste of apple is so familiar we are able to detect them
instantaneously.
As for satisfaction, it is very much
a personal preference. There are two types of fibers: Soluble and Insoluble
fibers. Soluble fiber is the one found in cold-pressed juices while insoluble
fibers bind most of the micronutrients are found in whole apples. In order to
fully tap into the power of the apple, we need soluble fiber and as for the
feeling of fullness, both fibers enable our body to send the signal that we are
satiated. Give Juice’d a try you might like the goodness you drink! As people
said “Mind Over Matter”
