During the Reboot, we plan to commit to eating or really drinking only fresh fruit and vegetables. This is not a diet to lose weight, although that is likely. It is a time for the body to reset, cleanse and take in, in abundance, all those vital nutrients Mother Nature intended for us. (http://www.jointhereboot.com)
Since this is a major change in our intake, we had to begin weening off of processed foods, caffeine, meats a week before. Not easy!
Why juice?
It's healthier and brings us back to the ways of our great great grandparents...when they didn't have all the processed foods available to them but just what was grown in their own gardens or by local farmers. We all know obesity is an issue in the US where two-thirds of U.S. adults are overweight or obese (http://frac.org/initiatives/hunger-and-obesity/obesity-in-the-us/).
Micronutrients include all the vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients we need to be healthy and feel great. Micronutrients are found in abundance in all plant-based foods (fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, etc.) For example, there are 170 phytonutrients in just one orange.
