Grow your own Juice

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

In all vegetable juice diets, it is recommended to get organic crops. This means that they are grown with less, if not none at all, pesticides or fertilizers of any type. This ensures that you are getting them thus getting the complete nutrients. If you have fresh vegetables in your electric juicers, you also get fresh juices.

But what if the closest place you can buy vegetables is a supermarket where they don’t come as organic as you want them to be? Should your vegetable juicing experience suffer?

For non-organic vegetables, you can wash them thoroughly to make sure that all pesticide remains are removed. However, the down-side to this is that since most nutrients lay just beneath the outer layer, the nutrients are also removed in washing.

Another option you might want to consider is growing your own organic garden. Yep, a garden. You grow your own carrots, beets, tomatoes and anything you want to juice.  If you own your own crops, you get to see what happens and what goes on what. You can also make sure that no harmful pesticides or fertilizers that have ill-effects on the crops are present. What goes on your juicer is the freshest of the fresh. Another advantage is that you never run out of vegetables to juice. If you suddenly need one, you can just pick up your type of vegetable; put it in your vegetable juicer and juice fast.

Yes, having a garden isn’t easy. It requires your time, patience and love. But one day, all the sweat and effort will be all worth it. Its rewards are manifested in the crops that you’ll reap. The fresher the fruit; the fresher the juice. Your health juicer will definitely be put to good use.

The basics in cleaning your juicers

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Different juicer recipes call for a variety of fruits or vegetables. Each fruit and vegetable after juicing does not have the same residues left. Some pulps are harder to get off than others which make cleaning even the compact juicers a little bit complicated.

To ensure that your electric juicers are in top shape, always clean them right after using.

Right after using, unplug the juicer. Remove the parts of your juicer one by one. Then, discard the pulps that are still inside. Rinse all the parts of the juicer. This is to remove any food particles that have managed to stick. If you do this right after juicing, the food particles haven’t tried yet which means they are easier to remove. Wash and scrub the filters or sieves well.  After which, wash the pieces with soap and use a sponge in doing so. You can dry the pieces with a towel or just set them out to dry naturally.
Lastly, wash the base of the juicer.

Taking care of your juicers is essential for them to have a longer life span. The better you take care of your juicers, the longer you’ll get to use them. Even if you have the best juicer in town but don’t know how to take care of it is still of no use. You won’t get to maximize its full potential. Juicers, like any other thing, needs to be looked out for and taken care of so it can provide you with fresh juices that are rich in vitamins and vital nutrients for our bodies.

Role of Vegetable Juicing in Our Daily Diet

Monday, August 10th, 2009

Each and every one of us needs raw foods every day and one excellent way to make sure that you receive the right amount is by juicing raw fruits and vegetables. All you need is a good recipe, fresh fruits and vegetables, and an electric juicer or any juicer that you like. One disadvantage that fruit juicing has over vegetable juicing, though, is that diabetics can’t drink them since they tend to increase insulin levels. Vegetable juice does not do the same except for carrot or beet juice which function is similar to fruit juice.

As a result of poor food choices for several years, a lot of us have relatively compromised intestines. This limits our body’s ability to absorb all the nutrients from fresh fruits and vegetables and juicing tends to facilitate this absorption. Vegetable juicing also allows you to eat more of the vegetables than you normally would and by incorporating the juice into your daily diet, you can easily reach the one pound of raw vegetables that is generally recommended per 50 pounds of body weight.

Ideally, it is best to mix the pulp in with the juice or you can also eat it since it is high in fiber and very nutritious. The fiber helps to move the bowels rapidly and also serves as fertilizer for the good bacteria that are present in the colon.
