Stretching and Flexibility Go Hand in Hand
Stretching before and after exercise, as well as on a regular basis during periods of inactivity will give you better posture, and fewer aches and pains.
Stretching increases blood flow and circulation to your muscles, but it also gives your brain a boost according to wellness experts, often leaving those who stretch feeling cheerier.
Periods of inactivity such as sitting are hard on your glutes and hip flexors, so standing up to stretch can keep them limber and less prone to injury when you do exercise.
You need a healthy, flexible back for nearly every type of activity, so giving your back a good stretch can prevent injury.
One of the best benefits of stretching is better balance. Especially for older people, stretching can bring your body back into balance which can help prevent falls.
If, after stretching, you are still feeling tight, sore, or your range of motion isn’t what it should be, come in for a good neuromuscular massage. Massage reduces pain and increases range of motion.

Enzymes
Fruit and vegetable juices provide a convenient source of enzymes. Enzymes spark the essential chemical reactions for digesting food, stimulating the brain, providing cellular energy, and for repairing tissue from inflammation or other damage.

Protein from Non-Meat Sources
Although fruits and vegetables do not contain large quantities of protein, their juice can be a convenient carrier. Simply add some brewer’s yeast, wheat germ, or whole grains to whatever you’re juicing. These give you protein (without the fat) that is quickly and easily absorbed by the body.

Quick Absorption
When you drink juice, the nutrients get to you quickly. They do not need to be processed in additional steps to become bio-available to your body. It is one explanation for the higher energy levels many people feel when they juice.
