Difference between eating vs drinking
Juicing has a number of benefits compared to simply eating the celery. Some of the advantages include the ability to extract and consume larger amounts of nutrients in a single drink compared to normal eating. Also, the juicing process allows the body to absorb more of the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and phytonutrients from celery. This is because juicing breaks down the cell walls of the foods, releasing the nutrients and making them much easier for the body to digest. Additionally, juicing helps to make getting the recommended daily number of fruits and vegetables much more convenient and attainable for many people.
