Fruit and vegetable extracts in the diet
It is thanks to Norman Walker, pioneer of raw food, the diffusion of cold extracted juices, in particular thanks to his book Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices, released in Italy as Fresh fruit and vegetable juices . At the base of everything, the conviction (and experimentation on oneself), that a healthy and clean colon and a regenerated and revitalized organism can cope with innumerable ailments and disorders, both physically and psychologically.
Fresh juices are in fact like "builders" and regenerators of the body, they provide cells with "living matter" that regenerates and strengthens them. Juices should be drunk immediately, otherwise an oxidation process takes place that will make them deteriorate in a short time, and therefore their nutritional and healing properties will be lost.
It is also different to obtain the same benefits from fresh fruit, which is equally healthy, but which involves digestion and assimilation, and therefore a further energy expenditure, much longer on the part of the body.
