SOME GOLDEN RULES

Beginners should limit their intake to up to three 8fl oz/230ml glasses of juice a day. Veterans can up the amount to six glasses.

Always dilute dark green vegetable juices (ie broccoli, spinach, watercress) and dark red vegetable juices (ie beetroot, red cabbage) by four parts to one. They are very potent in taste and effect.

Drink vegetable and fruit juices in order to get the maximum nutritional benefit. Too many fruit juices will overload your system with the fruit sugar, fructose.

Fruit juice causes a rapid rise in blood sugar, and anyone suffering from candidiasis should be cautious regarding excessive sugar intake. If you are prone to suffer from thrush, therefore, or suspect you may have a yeast infection in the digestive tract, you should take professional advice before increasing your intake of fruit juices (vegetable juices are, on the whole, not a problem in such cases). This advice also applies to anyone with low blood sugar or diabetes.

Avoid mixing vegetable and fruit juices together in the same glass or you may well suffer from a dose of flatulence! The exceptions are apple and carrot, which you can mix freely with any other juice.
