Chapter 1: Juices And Juicing For Strength Training And Muscle Building

"Our bodies run on the fresh green fuel of the land" – Terri Guillemets

It is popularly believed that eating large quantities of steak and drinking raw eggs goes hand-in-hand with building muscle. It's a misconception that has grown from the fact that these foods offer a good source of protein, and protein is essentially the body's muscle builder. However, while protein does have an important role to play in tissue growth and repair, it is not necessary to eat excessive amounts of protein to build muscle. Eating a large steak every morning may be described as a "body-builder's breakfast" but contrary to the popular belief, meat is not in fact the best source of protein available.

Chapter 2: Balanced NutritionA balanced diet contains a healthy mix of carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins and minerals, and the more physically active you are on a daily basis, the more calories you need. The foods you eat must fuel your body and your mind, keeping your muscles energized and your brain focused and alert. This means consuming quality, healthful calories. The optimal mix of nutrients needed to achieve a healthy balance in your diet is 60 percent carbohydrates, 30 percent fats and 10 percent protein.

Chapter 3: The benefits of juices for strength training

Copyright © 2012 Lars Andersen

Building muscle and developing strength and power is all about progressively overloading your muscles to promote adaptation. Using an appropriate training plan, the more your body is asked to do, the more it becomes able to do; your body adapts to the repeated demands being placed upon it.

Resistance training creates microscopic damage in your muscles and it's the natural repair and regeneration process that leads to increases in muscle size and strength. However, the process of repair and regeneration requires appropriate nutrition and this is where a nutrition-packed juice can provide your body with a powerful boost.

Chapter 4: Max flavor for max benefits

Copyright © 2012 Lars Andersen

Fresh ginger, garlic and parsley can all be juiced along with fruits and vegetables but dried versions can also be mixed in to "spice up" your juices and add to the nutritional content. Experimentation is the only way to discover the flavor combinations that work best for you. The fresher your ingredients, the more nutritional value they hold, but it is worth noting that frozen produce can represent a good choice when fresh foods may have spent a little longer than ideal on the grocery store shelf. Organic produce will generally offer a healthier choice in terms of the number of chemicals used in the farming process but non-organic produce still provides the nutrients you need to fuel your body and to boost your overall health.

Chapter 5: Hydration

Copyright © 2012 Lars Andersen

Adequate hydration is essential at all times as fluid in your blood transports glucose to the working muscles and takes away the metabolic by-products. A fresh juice provides a practical way to top up and replenish essential fluids but it's worth noting that the water content of the fruits or vegetables you choose can significantly increase your overall fluid intake.
