Vegetable juicing is part of Dr. Fuhrman’s anti-cancer solution but he also recommends it on a daily basis as a great way to get more micro-nutrients. Juice them yourself or head to the local juicer – however you do it, do it!
Now some people recommend that you only do smoothies instead of juicing, but vegetable juicing is a great addition to fasting.
The advantage of smoothies is that they retain all of the fiber from the fruits and vegetables but Dr. Fuhrman has had a guided juice detox before. And, juicing is a great way to add more raw vegetables to your diet. A balanced diet includes both raw and cooked.
Juicing allows us to consume more produce in a single glass than we could easily eat in one meal. But fiber is important so keep your juicing habit to a minimum and be sure to eat large salads as often as you can, as well.

why do you add apple? as fruit juice is not good for health, its direct blood sugar?
I agree that it’s better to eat the whole fruit such as you would in a smoothie. The apple adds some sweetness and with all of the other vegetables, shouldn’t be a large portion of the serving. Of course, you can leave it out, as well.
I drank one glass of this and experienced shakiness and lightheadedness, probably from sudden spike/drop in blood sugar. Carrots, beets, and apples are all high in sugar. Especially in concentrated juice form. Dangerous recipe.
