In the 1900s we were always told that more is better. During and after the 2nd World War there was rationing in Europe. Meat and dairy was not readily available. People had to live on less. At that time through to today, many people still have the attitude that rationing is something to be avoided at all costs. The problems we are now seeing are problems of excess. Too many fats; too many processsed foods; too many stimulants; too many empty calories in our diets. There is something we can learn from the periods of rationing in Europe.

Rationing itself is not something to strive for. Simply eating a little bit less fat; a little bit less processed foods; a little bit less stimulants; and a little bit less empty calories is not the answer. We should instead look to the kinds of foods that were eaten during periods of “rationing”. When we do, we can see that there is a return to whole, plant based foods. It is consumption of these foods which are responsible for better health outcomes.

Fortunately we don’t have to ration ourselves now a days. Instead, we are free to eat as much of the right, or wrong, foods as we choose. Juicer reviews, which you can find on the internet make it clear that juicing is a perfect way to indulge in drinks that not only taste great but which feed our bodies with all kinds of beneficial vitamins, minerals, enzymes and phyto-nutrients.
