Here's a recent blog I posted. Hopefully someone finds it interesting.
If you're reading this you've probably already heard about the great benefits of juicing fresh fruits and vegetables. Countless people who have attempted juice fasts or incorporated juicing into their diets, have experienced great benefits in the ultimate measurement of health: their blood. These people have seen reduced blood pressure, increased red blood cell count, reduced triglycerides, reduced blood sugar, and reduced cholesterol among other amazing benefits. Well, I'm here to tell you that it also seems to increase your blood plateletcount.
For those of you who don't know what platelets are,they are tiny cells primarily responsible for clotting your blood if you get cut. They also catalyze wound repair by secreting a compound that encourages local cell division. They are extremely important if you ever experience a major injury, and hospitals are always in need of platelets as well as plasma and whole blood.
Well, I began donating platelets and plasma beginning of February of 2013. During my first four donations my average platelet count was 221,000 per microliter. However, prior to my last donation I had been juicing fairly regularly for three weeks and was excited to see if there was any change in my platelet count. As you already know based on the title, I experienced a 57% increase in my platelet count, up to 347,000 per microliter after just three weeks of juicing! I defy anyone to find another diet that can have such drastic and measurable physiological effects after such a short time.
When I first donated platelets, I did a double donation and was interested in continuing to be able to do this. However, it takes a very long time to do a double donation, and after that first time my platelet count was too low to be able to do it because the nurses are not allowed to keep donors longer than 110 minutes. Well, I asked them what I could do to increase my platelet count and they said they didn't know of any particular diet or supplement that would increase a person's platelet count. Well, now I know how.
So why does this happen? Fresh fruit and vegetable juice is an explosion of bio-available nutrition. Many of us have taken multi-vitamin/minerals before, and based on their labels, these things seem to contain huge quantities of vitamins and minerals. However, what it doesn't say on the label is that you piss out most of those vitamins without your body ever using them. Why? They aren't bioavailable. That is, they are not in a form that your body can digest, or your body doesn't recognize them as the beneficial compounds they are. So, they are simply flushed out of your system without being able to confer any benefits. They simply make your urine a little more expensive.
Not so with the concentrated nutrients in fresh juice. Nothing is more bioavailable than the nutrients you can get from fresh fruit and vegetable juice whether it's vitamins, minerals, antioxidants andother phytochemicals. And to make that juice even healthier, make it PALEO by making sure it doesn't negatively affect your blood sugar!
