These will provide many of the minerals and vitamins that working out will use up. The antioxidants will also help with recovery from exercise because of their anti-inflammatory properties, helping to "cool off" muscle and soothe joints. Darren Hi Jennifer,

Unlike most people I know, weight loss is not my goal -- simply a healthier diet and lifestyle is. I've read that juicing only is not healthy to do long term. What do you suggest to be good habits? I also work out a lot and I don't want to deplete my body of too many nutrients I would need for energy, so what kinds of vegetables would be preferable? Darren,

By blanching and then juicing you are doing both :-) You may lose some vitamin C, but blanching doesn't cause as much nutrient damage as boiling for periods of time. So, I think you will be fine.

More than likely I will not make a significant investment in an expensive juicer since my knowledge is limited regarding brand vs my long time needs etc. Question- am I suppose to remove the skin from certain vegetables and/or fruits before juicing them or just blend it as it after removing stems etc.? Thanks I will be attempting to juice for the first time today.

Since it is not possible to juice at work fresh, the next best thing is to do what you are doing, the juice will lose a little nutrition, but it is not drastic and the juice will still be very nutritious. Enjoy :-) Darren Hi Kate,
