A logical starting point, juicing is the easiest way to get guaranteed fresh, raw nutrients into your system in a compact and easy to digest way. We see the problems of a nutrient depleted world, pollution, intensive farming and all that stuff takes its toll, but let's not weigh ourselves down with that, lets do what we can to sort it.
Juicing and smoothie making is simply a fun way to give your body what it needs to function, repair itself and generally be at its full glory as simply as possible. Dust off the juicer, get up ten minutes early for a week and juice one apple, 3 carrots, a little ginger, some beetroot for the battered old liver and maybe for the blender equipped amongst us whip a banana, mango and strawberries into the mix then try to tell us you don't feel and look better by Friday.
Types of juicers!
I think it's safe to say that everyone starts with a C? a good old centrifugal juicer. These are great machines, they're quick and cheap to buy, a great juicy starting point. But I know what you're going to say, they are noisy, can't do wheat grass and offer a low yield?
Blimey you knows' is all already!! Yep its true, the good old centrifugal has its drawbacks, getting juicegeeky - there is a somewhat lower yield, that is the volume of juice you will get per carrot you feed in, and, compared with a 'masticating' juicer, the harshness of the process of the cutter whizzing round at 10'000 rpm in the centrifugal type juicer employs slightly lessens the nutrient quality of the juice.
Next up in juiceworld is:
The single auger juicer, now we are a-juicin' easier to clean, better yield and a more gentle juicing process gives you a "live" or more nutrient rich juice, also most juicers in this category will do wheat grass. These machines are sometimes known as 'masticating' juicers as the auger crushes the voluntary fruit and veg at slow revs, typically around 100 rpm. The result is a nice, quiet, easy to clean juicer giving a living nutrient rich juice that hits the spot!
More!?! OK then, the big daddies in juicer world are the twin gear juicers these machines offer a lot, they really will juice anything, work a little quicker than a single auger AND offer the best yield and nutrient quality. Serious tools for serious juicefans, get one of these and you are at the juicy pinnacle. Well worth the extra money and a great investment in personal health.
