Finally, raw juices also contain certain natural medicines, vegetal hormones and antibiotics which, help recovery from various diseases. Precautions Certain precautions are, however, necessary in adopting an exclusive diet of raw juices. All juices should be made fresh immediately before drinking. Only fresh ripe fruits and vegetables should be used for extraction of juices. Only as much juice as needed for immediate consumption should be extracted.
Raw juices oxidize rapidly and lose their medicinal value in storage, even under refrigeration.
This is especially important in some specific conditions such as diabetes, hypoglycemia, arthritis and high blood pressure. Generally speaking, fruit juices stir up toxins and acids in the body, thereby stimulating the eliminative processes. Vegetable juices, on the other hand, soothe the jaded nerves and work in a much milder manner. They carry away toxic matter in a gentle way. Owing to their differing actions, fruit and vegetable juices should not be used at the same time or mixed together.
