At Utopia Cancer Center, juicingis an essential part of the healing protocol within our Intensive Medical Program. Patients are encouraged to juice daily to ensure they receive the full spectrum of vital nutrients, vitamins, and enzymes that fresh fruits and vegetables provide. Juicing offers a highly efficient method of nutrient absorption, supporting the body’s ability to heal, detoxify, and thrive.
Benefits of Juicing
Juicing extracts the liquid from fruits and vegetables while leaving behind the pulp. This process makes it easier for the body to absorb nutrients and enzymes without expending large amounts of energy on digestion, reserving energy for cellular repair and healing.
Additional benefits include:
- Promoting alkalinity in the body, an environment shown to be beneficial for cancer patients
- Facilitating hydration
- Reducing systemic inflammation
- Aiding in toxin elimination
- Supporting liver function through specific fruits and vegetables that stimulate bile flow
- Delivering antioxidants that neutralize free radicals and support cellular health
What Type of Juicer Is Best?
There are two main types of juicers: centrifugal and masticating.
- Centrifugal Juicers: Spin at high speeds to separate juice from pulp. However, the high-speed motion generates heat, which can destroy vital enzymes and reduce the nutritional value of the juice.
- Masticating Juicers: Operate at slower speeds, grinding and pressing produce to extract juice without heat damage. They are especially effective at juicing green leafy vegetables like wheatgrass, spinach, parsley, cilantro, kale, and Swiss chard—key components of an effective healing protocol.
We strongly recommend masticating juicers to preserve the maximum nutritional and enzymatic benefits of your juices.
Is Juicing Safe?
Juicing is very safe when proper food safety practices are followed. Since home-prepared juices are unpasteurized, it is important to thoroughly cleanse all fruits and vegetables before juicing to minimize the risk of contamination. Choosing organic produce whenever possible further reduces exposure to pesticides and harmful chemicals.
At Utopia Cancer Center, juicing is not just a dietary recommendation—it’s a powerful tool for restoring vitality, boosting immune function, and supporting the body's natural healing process.
We guide each patient carefully to ensure they juice safely and effectively as part of their personalized health journey.
