Should You Combine Fruits & Veggies?

Posts have been a bit slow due to regular routine of life but I have lots of pics and posts to put up this coming week.  One thing I wanted to address, and disclosure here, I'm no expert but i've been told that juicing fruits and veggies together is a bad idea.  

HUH?! 

Are you confused too?  I know I was, considering that they're both all-natural foods that require no cooking in order to consume.  I jumped on the worldwide web to find out the root of this matter and ... still not quite sure how it works. 

It seems that fruits and particular vegetables digest differently and the enzymes they respectively produce can create a bad reaction in your system. 

Has anyone experienced this, and do you overstand the chemistry?  Please leave a comment below if you do, I'd love to be able to overstand the science behind my scrumptious juicing practices. 

My hard and fast rule since this little research .. less sweet fruits (because fruits do include lots of sugar) and more veggies when juicing.  One sweet fruit like an apple, is ok to combine with vegetables but it seems that fruits are actually more beneficial to your system when you just wash, and crunch away! 

Found this handy chart on the web too and thought it might be helpful.  Let me know if it did in the comments.  Thanks for reading this relaxing Sunday and stay qurious!

Growing up, the only juices we knew about were freshly squeezed, diluted with water and additionally sweetened with a pot spoon of sugar.  This was our version of 'healthy', so imagine how surprised and amazed I was to try 'juicing' for the first time.  Blending fruits and vegetables for a cocktail chock full of antioxidants and wonderful cancer-fighting properties.

A sistren recently advised about mixing certain fruits and veggies, explaining that they don't all digest the same, so look out for more research on that topic soon.

I'm definitely a juicing convert!  And so are many of my bredren and sistren, ones and ones who have sought out healthier alternatives and re-discovered this 'Garden of Eden' lifestyle.  Fresh, satisfying and 100% GOOD for your temple.

My sista Rastamamma is a Rastafarian wife and mother of three who raise her children as vegetarians.  Juicing is a regular part of their lifestyle and she's been so kind to join me on this qurious journey and document her own juicing for the blog.  *nuff love Tanes!*
