Most people only eat a fraction of the government's daily recommendation of vegetables. This is where the revolutionary idea of juice comes to play. The juice theory is that it is hard to eat enough servings of vegetables when vegetables are in their natural form, but if you juice up your broccoli and your celery, you may be able to squeeze all your daily vegetable recommendations into one cup.
Vegetable Consumption
The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends eating at least five servings of vegetables a day, which amounts to 2 ½ cups of vegetables a day. According to "USA Today," only 27 percent of adults manage to eat even three servings of vegetables a day, meaning that most Americans aren't able to consume even close to the recommended daily serving of vegetables. Broccoli and celery both have many beneficial nutritional qualities and juicing them up just might provide you with a quick and easy way to experience them all.
