Few people truly know how many insect parts, feces, and other contaminants are allowed to pass through an industrial juicer without leading to recalls and fines. If the population truly knew, they would throw out their bottled juices and purchase a juicing machine.Did you know that mold, insect parts, and insect eggs are all allowable in fruit juices? Per bottle, up to ten percent of the fruit squeezed to make the juice can be moldy. Up to five fly eggs or maggots are allowable for every eight and a half ounces of juice. Can you imagine drinking five fly eggs and five maggots with a splash of mold in your morning glass of juice? Some may feel the cost of a juice extractor is expensive, but isn't your health worth it?Pineapple juice is a favorite ingredient in many non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks. Fifteen percent of the fruit squeezed to make pineapple juice can be moldy, or one fruit can be up to forty percent mold during an inspection. Though it sounds disgusting, it is perfectly allowable. Doesn't this make you want to turn to juicing at home?Tomato juice, another household favorite, can contain up to ten fly eggs, two maggots, or have a mold count of twenty-four percent without being rejected for shipping. This certainly makes juicers every kitchens most important small appliances. You can forgo contamination by washing your own fruits and vegetables and purchasing an automatic juicer.We all have our juice cravings. If you enjoy wheat grass for breakfast, a wheat grass juicer can deliver a satisfactory product without the necessity for paying absurdly high health store prices. You have the added benefit of controlling the quality yourself. The same occurs with a carrot juicer that delivers high quality product for very little money.Vegetable juicing is both healthy and affordable. You just need to check your refrigerator, find some vegetables, and turn on your centrifugal juicer. Within seconds, a glass of juice is ready and waiting for you to indulge. You don't have to spend hours squeezing your oranges your self or peeling your carrots, instead you just spend second making your delicious drink.By making your own fruit and vegetable juices, you guarantee your family will drink only the freshest, highest quality of juice in the world. Isn't your family worth the time it takes to wash the produce and run it through the machine?So the next time you are thinking of buying a fruit juice over the counter you should consider getting yourself a juicer that you can use at home. Not only will you save yourself a ton of money but you will also be getting many more nutrients than most store brand juices have. Get yourself a juicer to cut down on your family's drink expenses while also providing a wonderful source of vitamins to them.

We face a daily assault against our immunity which affects our appearance as well as our internal body systems and organs.And nutrition experts have learned that cranberries are one of the richest sources of bioflavonoids, antioxidants proven to destroy tissue-damaging free radicals and reinforce the cells that make up blood vessel walls which results in significantly enhanced blood circulation.Some beauty experts now tout cranberries and their juice and extract to be so powerful that just one eight ounce glass of pure cranberry juice (or the extract equivalent) daily will diminish cellulite dimples in as little as three weeks.How do you keep free radicals at bay? By the use of free radical scavengers.These free radical scavengers occur naturally in the body and neutralize free radicals. Certain enzymes serve this vital function and four important enzymes are superoxide dismutase (SOD), methione reductase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase.The body normally produces these enzymes but it needs help for full spectrum free radical prevention and damage control. That's where a diet rich in antioxidants is vital. These antioxidants are also scavengers, gobbling up the sometimes deadly free radical particles.Many health care practitioners see the wisdom in daily intake of plenty of fruits and vegetables in a variety of colors. Some recommend daily: Intake of 1 quart (1.1 litre) purified water a day PLUS 1 quart (1.1 litre) fresh fruit or vegetable juice.With juicing one can consume many more enzymes and natural antioxidants than a person normally would in a "good diet". Your body is composed of billions of microscopic cells and your every existence depends on these cells. They need live nourishment and this can be supplied very well in the form of juicing.There are many juicers now available and you can achieve benefit from any of them. We like the newer, time-saving models that allow the user to place WHOLE fruits and vegetables in the unit and delicious, fresh juice emerges in a matter of seconds.The more color and variety of produce, the more natural antioxidants one can consume. Carotenoids and flavonoids found in these fruits and vegetables can contribute to a very large extent to our program of antiaging. Why?Because these natural chemical compounds slow or halt oxidative processes that may prevent or deter the onset of many diseases associated with aging, including heart disease, prostate cancer, diabetes, wrinkles and sun damage and much more.By adding delicious and concentrated berry extracts, one has even more natural antioxidant tools. Once again, eating fresh is great. However, some companies now offer concentrated extracts of berries like elderberries, blueberries, cranberries, and bilberries for 10-15 times the amount of antioxidants as can be found in the fruit alone.Researchers at the USDA Human Nutrition Center have found that blueberries rank number 1 in antioxidant activity when compared to 40 other fresh fruits and vegetables.Anthycyanin - the pigment that makes blueberries blue - is thought to be responsible for this major health benefit. Blueberries also contain beta-carotene, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, ellagic acid and phenolics that can also act as antioxidants. Other health benefits one can expect form blueberries are:? Support cognitive function, concentration andmemory? Maintain eye and retina health? promote urinary tract health? Support healthy glucose metabolismNot just for urinary tract health, cranberry extracts are provide potent antioxidants that protect and detoxify. Combining cranberry with the therapeutically beneficial elderberry and lo han fruits results in a delicious herbal supplement that helps to maintain urinary tract health, promotes cardiovascular health, cellular health and even dental health. Because of its detoxifying properties, it increases your energy levels and improves mood.Pomegranates too have been used for thousands of years by Mediterranean peoples. And pomegranates have recently been promoted for their beautiful skin-enhancing properties.Pomegranates contain polyphenols, tannins, ellagic acid and anthocyanins. These compounds are believed to fight disease and pomegranates can also:? Support healthy blood pressure levels? Help maintain healthy blood vessels? Reduce the oxidation of LDL cholesterol? Support oral health? Support skin healthGreen, black and white teas have been studied for their antioxidant powers too. Many research organizations have demonstrated that the polyphenols, detected in these teas, help to support a healthy heart and cardiovascular system and are recommended for smokers, the obese and those under stress and duress, though anyone could benefit from their consumption.Concentrated green tea extracts here.Some vitamins are considered antioxidants such as vitamins E and C. As are the carotenoids (such as beta-carotene); selenium; and flavonoids (anthocyanidins, polyphenols, quercetin, glutathione, alpha-lipoic acid, and coenzyme Q10. Vitamin E is the body's principal fat-soluble antioxidant vitamin and protects fatty cell components from free-radical oxidation. It works well in conjunction with selenium and vitamin C.As an antioxidant, vitamin E protects DNA and other cell structures from damage. It also protects LDL cholesterol from oxidation which would otherwise trigger an early step in the development of cardiovascular disease.There are other antioxidants so to verify a wide spectrum of protection, eat a wide variety of fruits and vegetables and consider a daily intake of a plant-based green "superfood" formula. Preferably one that contains foods from the allium family (onions, garlic, chives) and sprouts.Sprouts from vegetables and legumes are extremely health-enhancing and often contain a concentrated form of antioxidant protection not found in the food alone. Broccoli sprouts, especially have been noted to provide more protection than just eating the cruciferous vegetables by themselves. Which is very important for immune enhancement and cancer prevention.

When consuming carrots, increase your body's absorption of the valuable nutrients in them almost hundredfold, by simply employing a juicer, rather than your teeth.Carrots are usually associated with night vision improvement. The benefit of carrot juice actually covers a much wider field. This rich source of beta-carotene, converted into vitamin A in your body, also has an antioxidant arsenal that targets heart health, and cancer cells.High carotenoid intake is associated lowered risks of many cancers. This is where the beta-carotene and other similar elements in carrots, play such a vital role. There is proof that synthetic forms of vitamin A do not offer the same benefit, as deriving it from carrot juice.A further benefit of carrot juice, will be seen in stronger, healthier nails and hair. Many of the aches and pains associated with getting older, will be improved when ingesting carrot juice on a daily basis.Improving your liver function, a benefit of carrot juice, is one of the best things you can do to enhance your quality of life. In fact, your digestive tract as a whole will benefit from the healing power of carrot juice.The benefit of carrot juice will also be seen in an improvement in skin infections, as well as a variety of other infections.A myriad other nutrients add to the benefit of carrot juice. It also contains important minerals such as calcium and potassium. Your body can battle to absorb calcium from sources such as dairy. However, the calcium in carrot juice can be assimilated in full. Iron, phosphorous, and sulphur will also be included in your carrot cocktail.Carrot juice has many other uses, as creative cooks have discovered. It is a healthy base for delicious sauces, and adds wonderful flavor and color as part of the cooking liquid for veggies and rice. A carrot cake with real carrot pulp and carrot juice has a richness that is heavenly...If you have a good bristle brush, you don't need to peel the carrots. To experience the benefit of carrot juice, just remove the greens, give the carrots an energetic scrub, and juice.Don't worry if you experience a bit of orange skin discoloration after a period of daily carrot juice intake. This is a harmless reaction, and will disappear as soon as you reduce the amount of juice you ingest.The benefit of carrot juice can be enhanced by adding other veggies such as celery, or a variety of fruits. Apples, celery, and carrots are an ideal combination. Enjoy! Wed, 09 Jan 2008 22:20:00 -0500 http://myjuicerecipes.com/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=24 http://myjuicerecipes.com/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=1 Much of the foods people eat, such as french fries, fried chicken, microwave popcorn, doughnuts, margarine, cookies and pastries contain an artery-clogging fat called Trans fat. This fat can lead to type two diabetes, high cholesterol and other health problems. If you desire to live a long, healthy, vibrant life, you have to take care of your body by giving it the proper nutrition. That is why I am such a strong advicate for Juicing.Health BenefitsThe benefits of consuming these freshly made, health drinks are many. They aid in keeping organs such as heart, liver, and kidneys strong and healthy. They also help prevent colon cancer and keep your digestive system in tiptop shape. This is because they are a great supplier of protein, vitamins and minerals.These drinks also boost the immune system and promote good-looking healthy skin.Another health benefit to consuming these drinks is they help you lose weight and lower cholesterol naturally.Nutritional Health Begins On The InsideI am a firm believer that if you work on being healthy on the inside it will show-up on the outside.Sometimes when I run into old friends they tell me that I look very healthy.I believe the juices that I drink has a lot to do with this.I know a woman who smoked for many years. When she finally quit smoking I noticed in a short period of time, the skin on her face look healthier. There was almost a glow to it.Can you visualize what would happen if more and more people would work on being healthy from the inside out? I can!Raw Vegetable juice Verses Cooked VegetablesYou might be saying to yourself I eat a lot of cooked vegetables with my meal why then should I consider juicing? Well allow me give you two reasons:1.When you cook vegetables at temperatures above 114 degrees, heat destroys the enzymes. (Enzymes are naturally occurring chemical substances in the human body that help a chemical reaction take place). In other words enzymes are important because they aid in the digestion and absorption of food in your body.Fruit and vegetable juice that are sold in a shop or supermarket must go through a pasteurizing process before they can be sold to you the customer. The reason for this pasteurizing process is to give these drinks shelf life. However during this process heat reaches about 120 degrees thus destroying the enzymes.In contrast enzymes in raw vegetable or fruit drinks are live. So they are able to do the job they are intended to do.2.When you juice, you separate the liquid from the fiber. Thus food value is available to the body in much larger amounts than if the piece of fruit or vegetable were eaten whole.If you ate one raw carrot, your body would only be able to absorb about 1% of the available vitamin A (beta carotene). That is because most of the nutrients in a carrot are locked in its fiber. However if you separate the liquid from the fiber, your body would be able to assimilate 90% of the nutrients. Pretty amazing!To me juicing is by far the best way to give your body the nutrients it needs for youthfulness and disease-free living. Tue, 08 Jan 2008 17:16:09 -0500 http://myjuicerecipes.com/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=1 http://myjuicerecipes.com/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=23 Lemonade is known to have been used as a refreshing drink since the time of the Moguls. Modem investigations have tended to support this use, the essential oil being very good for cooling the body. This use can be extended to the employment of lemon juice with water and sugar as the best drink to take when you have a feverWhen the temperature of the body is high, whether from the effects of the sun or from the results of illness, it is necessary to take regular drinks in order to prevent dehydration. Sugar is not normally a desirable part of a healthy diet, nevertheless it has its part to play with lemon, and although there is no doubt that the addition of honey if available is very much to be preferred.The high vitamin C content of the lemon has been used for hundreds of years to ward off scurvy among sailors and travelers. There is little sodium, so the fruit is good as a flavoring for those on a low salt diet.Because in some countries the producers of lemons extend their keeping properties and improve appearance by coating them with the chemical diphenyl and waxing the fruits, it is a wise precaution to wash the lemon with a little unscented soap and then rinse thoroughly before converting the whole fruit to juice.The pulp left from the juicing is excellent for the skin and can also soothe the bites and stings of insects. If you add equal parts of toilet water and of glycerin to the residue the mixture can be made to keep the hands smooth.Doctors Morel and Rochaix demonstrated that the extract of lemon when vaporized will neutralize the bacteria of meningococcus, typhoid, pneumococcus and staphylococcus in from 15 to 180 minutes.A gastronomically inclined Frenchman, Charles Richet, is said by Dr Valnet to have discovered that the lemon juice added to raw oysters before eating them destroys 92% of the bacteria present within 15 minutes. A good reason to wait before you eat!This information is relevant to the idea that lemon juice is a most important therapy to be used in all cases of infection of the respiratory tract and as a general tonic.Provided that the juice is diluted with water, there is no danger in taking any reasonable quantity of lemon juice. Be sure to choose firm, clear colored lemons that have not begun to wither. The first signs of ageing can be spotted where the stem was once attached to the fruit.

Many of these health providing properties are retained in cider vinegar, so if you cannot obtain apples to prepare your juice you can use instead two teaspoonfuls of cider vinegar in a glass of water.Besides being a great cleanser, the apple juice diet purifies the blood and is helpful for skin and liver, and as a general tonic. After juicing, the liquid often oxidizes quickly so it is best to store for even a short while in the refrigerator. Apples contain some 15 calories per oz (220KJ per 100g). The vitamins present include C, thiamine, riboflavin, nicotinic acid, carotene, B6, biotin and folic acid.There is a little sodium and a lot of potassium and phosphorus. Until the 1930s apples were regarded as an important indicated source of vitamin C. Then some scientist carried out a few analyses which indicated very low amounts of vitamin C. It took years for the poor apples to return to favor, for what the chemist found out was partially true.Modem research shows a fluctuation between 2.3mg per 100g (4oz), in the worst varieties, to 31.8mg in the best.Those high in vitamin C include Ribston Pippin, Golden Noble, Reinette, Ontario, King of the Pippins, Bramleys, Beauty of Bath, Blenheim Orange, Cox\'s and jonathans. The poor providers include Rome Beauty, Laxton's Superb and James Grieve. Around the low middle are such favorites as Golden Delicious and Worcester Pearmain.Oranges and lemons are more important as providers of vitamin C, but apples, unlike citrus fruits, have very high mineral contents, and also pectins, malic acid and tannic acid, all of which are of the greatest therapeutic importance in normalizing the intestines. Wed, 02 Jan 2008 22:20:00 -0500 http://myjuicerecipes.com/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=22 http://myjuicerecipes.com/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=21 Comfrey plant has been recorded as a medicine since the ancient Greeks and Romans used an ointment from it to heal wounds and a medicine to cure ulcers. There are various ideas as to where the modem name originated, perhaps from the Latin confervere meaning to knit together. The botanical name for comfrey herb comes from the Greek sumphuo, to unite. There has never been any doubt about the healing powers.The active principle in comfrey plant is allantoin which, according to the Extra Pharmacopoeia of Martindale is said to be a cell proliferate and healing agent stimulating healthy tissue formation; Comfrey herb has been used in the treatment of gastric ulcer, and it is an ingredient of some skin preparations.Comfrey is a very good source of the antioxidant germanium, containing an impressive 150 parts per million. Comfrey plant is the second most common food source of germanium, the best source being garlic.The Russian comfrey plant, which is used as a crop and as a fine source of compost as well as being nutritionally good, stands three feet high; the wild comfrey, Symphytum officinal, is lower, but can be used instead. There is a famous Bavarian recipe which uses the comfrey leaves on stalks, dipped in an egg and flour batter and deep fried; or the plant can be cooked like spinach.As a juice comfrey plant is used for its valuable vitamin content and in cases of ulcers, fractures and wounds. Young roots may be added to leaves when juicing. Comfrey takes many years to grow from seed, but can be easily propagated from root cuttings.

It is now grown in many hot areas and is an important crop in parts of California. A good artichoke will have a nice color, well closed centre leaves and be without bruises or blemishes.The base should be without any tendency to woodiness. Artichoke is often eaten raw as well as cooked, but cooking artichokes in an aluminum pot causes discoloration and blackening. Like other plants in the thistle family, to which it belong, the artichoke contains some therapeutically valuable oils which have a strong stabilizing effect on the human metabolism.It is used to aid liver complaints and is also a very important diuretic for those suffering from the retention of water. In some parts artichoke forms the basis for several drinks which are fortified with alcohol. You can try one yourself with by juicing 20z (50g) of the artichoke leaves and adding both artichoke juice and the residual pulp to a bottle of white wine.Leave for a week, strain into a clean bottle and it is ready for use. A wine glassful each day is the normal amount to take. This is a useful recipe because artichokes are not always available and there are great price fluctuations. With wine you can take the juice whenever you wish.This is called 'artichoke elixir' in the therapeutic index.Artichoke juice is not normally taken alone, but is mixed with others and, where its use is suggested, it can be fresh, frozen or with wine. Artichoke extract is not a very good source of vitamin C, but is rich in calcium. Mon, 24 Dec 2007 21:30:00 -0500 http://myjuicerecipes.com/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=20 http://myjuicerecipes.com/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=19 Making juices may seem simple. There are a variety of devices used for making juices. The ideal juicer will make the maximum amount of liquid from a given quantity of plant material, leaving a quite dry residue behind which, incidentally, makes a first class material for composting organically grown fruits and vegetables.An electric blender can make a juice-like liquid from soft raw materials and is quite good with raspberries and similar fruits although it is usually advisable to add a little water to the mixture before blending However, for nearly all sources of raw juices the most efficient machine is a purpose built juicing machine.These represent a sizeable expenditure for the average family and it is often more economical to buy one where the basic motor unit can perform a number of different functions so that the whole is a useful culinary aid. For example, a model which is not only a continuous juicer but also shreds or slices for raw salads, blends and chops.Every type has its own special merits and its particular disadvantages. Which you choose must depend on your individual circumstances, but an experienced health store owner is invariably a good and willing guide. But there are certain points that it is as well to be aware of in advance.Any reasonable manufacturer will give a one year guarantee against faults in manufacture. The machine will be made of high quality plastics and chemically inert metals, such as stainless steel rather than the more reactive aluminum, in places where it is in contact with the juice.The cheapest type and one that is usually very efficient consists of a basket with perforations into which the fresh materials are put through the feeding hole. There are cutters which divide the matter into fine particles. The basket whirls round expressing the juice through the holes by centrifugal force. After every pint or so of juice has been prepared the machine must be dismantled (always check to see if this is a simple or a tortuous task), the pulp has to be removed, the machine re-assembled and the process repeated. These are excellent value for the moderate user but very tiresome if you want many pints each day.The next kind is the continuous machine in which the juice comes out of one aperture and the pulp from another. This is very convenient and some makers claim to have juiced two tons of apples without stopping. In these machines the design of the pulp outlet is very critical for especially with the softer fruits, there is a risk of clogging which if unnoticed leads to a table covered with leaking liquids and a very messy juicer. Do not be put off for the majority of makers have overcome such faults. Just make certain that you buy on the understood condition that continuous means more or less what it says.The extraction rate is often a little lower that for other types but this is offset by the great convenience. It is important to remember to clean all juicing machines after use or else the rotting and caked-on residue will make a visit to the repairers a premature necessity.The next class of machine is a hydraulic press which first shreds and then subjects the pulp to between 3,000 and 7,000lb (1375-3175kg) pressure leaving the plant matter almost bone dry. Such a machine is costly and often hard to obtain but probably the most efficient and certainly very desirable for institutional use. It is too large and awkward for normal juicing purposes.Finally we must consider the non-electric or manual methods of juicing which have, after all, been the only means possible until recently Very good results are obtainable with a small scale wine press. The fruit or vegetables are chopped and put into a slatted, circular wooden basket a threaded post runs up the centre and a long lever forces a strong plate downwards onto the material forcing the juice out. A good model will last so well that you may leave it to your heirs.A good juicer is an investment in health that is small compared to the great benefits you will derive from its regular use. Not only is it essential for therapeutic purposes but, when you are fit and well, fresh raw juices can be prepared into subtle and delicious cocktails of entrancing gastronomic delight. Who else but the host/hostess with a juicer can offer good health with a drink? Thu, 20 Dec 2007 21:10:00 -0500 http://myjuicerecipes.com/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=19 http://myjuicerecipes.com/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=18 The main reason why there is not a "perfect" juicer is because different fruits and vegetables have vastly different properties. This ultimately means that a juicing method which is effective for a particular type of fruit may not be the best choice for another. Staying healthy has recently been associated with consuming more fresh juices. But improving the juicing experience is a matter of knowing what works best for a particular produce and how a juicer can maintain its highly presumed qualities.In particular, fruits have softer cell walls and therefore require a more gentle extraction method. Juicing apples, pears, watermelons, cantaloupes and pineapples can be an easy process if the peel is off and they are chopped into smaller more easily handled pieces. On the other hand, citrus fruits, like oranges, lemons, grapefruits, or tangerines, should be juiced along with their bitter outer surface -after grating away their outer rind. But keeping the white skin area is extremely important, according to nutritionists, since it is in there where the most valuable nutrients are contained. For that reason, most people use the common method of slicing the fruit in half and then pressing it against a reamer style juicer or a citrus press in order to extract the healthiest parts of a citrus juice.Vegetables, on the other hand, are tougher to handle. Sine they have fibrous, more rigid cell walls, these types of produce require more aggressive mechanical juicers that can extract their fluids. Scientists recommend that due to their lower acid content, vegetables have to be consumed immediately after their preparation. This is mainly supported because their enzyme activity lowers progressively with time -a 30 minute old juice has half of the enzyme activity found in a freshly made one.If you think that a bottled or canned juice is healthier because of lack of discoloration -when an apple or a carrot becomes brown is a sign that the fruit or vegetable has been oxidized and can happed when one prepares a juice-you better think again. The difference is found in the juice's preparation and has to do with the fact that juice producers heat the juice in order to kill all the enzymes and thus, extending their color and lifetime. But, the one thing they cannot extend is their nutritional effect which is forever destroyed due to this heating process. The fresh, alive enzymes are one of the key reasons why making a fresh juice at home with a juicer can be so beneficial for one's health.Easy to operate juicers can help those interested to reach and maintain a better state of health a quick and simple way of ensuring that their bodies receive enough nutrients daily. Juicers are useful tools when wanting to lose weight as various recipes can help people trick their stomachs into thinking they are full. But apart from them being an excellent way for people to maintain their desired weight, juicers have come to be considered a lifestyle choice, not just a particular appliance, due to their extremely desirable nutritional benefits.
