This essay sheds light on the dangers of juicing, elucidates how the process of juicing works, delineates the health benefits of embracing a whole foods diet that is comprised of raw fruitarian foods, and reveals why you should not drink smoothies. Moreover, the cornucopia of simple to prepare and palatable healthy food recipes for longevity are demystified and the surfeit of deadly disease causing foods that you should always desist from ever considering devouring are revealed in this essay. Furthermore, how to substantially mitigate risks for succumbing to contracting perilous chronic diseases by embracing a salubrious, wholesome, heart healthy, brain healthy, kidney healthy, anticancer, antidiabetic, nutrient dense, alkaline, antioxidant rich, anti-inflammatory, raw fruitarian diet is expounded upon in this essay. While juicing fruits may seem inconsequential, it is ill-advised to juice whole fruits or vegetables, especially when you can alternatively opt to only consume whole foods in their natural form. There are ample dangers associated with juicing that extend beyond the ambit of juicing causing fruits and vegetables to become oxidized and more prone to free radical damage. Juicing fruits is often part of the process of creating smoothies and is not without its repercussions against your sacrosanct health. "Oxygen free radicals for instance are very reactive molecules which can react with every cellular component. They are normally produced in organisms being involved in various biologic reactions. However, too high levels of these partially-reduced oxygen species can give rise to functional and morphologic disturbances in cells. There is evidence to implicate oxygen free radicals as important pathologic mediators in many disease processes" (Martínez-Cayuela, 1995). Nothing salubrious can ensue from food oxidation. "Lipid and protein oxidation products formed during food production, storage, processing, and culinary preparation have been recently identified as potentially harmful to human. Moreover, oxidation products have been found to promote inflammatory conditions in the gut, such as bowel diseases, and are also reasonably linked to the onset of carcinogenic processes" (Estevez, Li, Soladoye, & Van-Hecke, 2017). Juicing foods not only bastardizes fruits and vegetables, but renders them all the more prone to oxidative stress. The consumption of oxidized products, such as "oxidized vegetable oils, can damage to brain cells, lead to inflammation, and increase the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease" ("Oxidized foods may," 2015). The perils of rendering food oxidized should not be blithely overlooked. Much to the dismay of the health conscious individual, juicing foods elicits oxidized products. The dangers of juicing and multitudinous and should not be underestimated. "Drinking large quantities of juice may be harmful to those with kidney disorders. Certain types of juice contain oxalate, an acid that can contribute to kidney stones and other kidney problems" (Nall, 2018). Juices or smoothies can be oxalate rich drinks and can comprised kidney health when they are replete with oxalates. "Juicing followed by heavy consumption of oxalate-rich juices appears to be a potential cause of oxalate nephropathy and acute renal failure" (Nall, 2018). It is ill-advised to drink juices or smoothies, especially if you are adamant about optimizing your kidney health. Drinking juices or smoothies can lead to a host of dire health issues. "If a person consumes juices that are unpasteurized or have not had another treatment to remove bacteria, they are at greater risk of illness. This is especially true for very young and older people as well as those with weakened immune systems. Furthermore, if a juice cleanse includes laxatives or other methods of bowel stimulation, a person could lose too many nutrients in their stool which can lead to dehydration and imbalanced electrolytes" (Nall, 2018).
