The Best Juicer Review

How you can find the best quality juicer for you...

Increase your health, feel better and lose weight.

I have had the opportunity to use and review different makes of juicers. Now I only used masticating juicers because the quality of juice is superior as there is no heat created to burn off nutrients as in centrifugal juicers. These juicers are the best in their price range and very easy to maintain and clean. If you have an illness you are treating with juicing, I would recommend that you use the Norwalk or if that is too pricy at this time, then at least purchase a juicer like the Champion juicer a specific machine to triturate the fruits and vegetables and also purchase a separate juice press to squeeze the juice like the one from The Juice Press Factory at www.juicepressfactory.com.

This two step process of chopping and pressing your juice and vegetables gives you the best way to get the highest quality of nutrients and enzymes and the most quantity of juice. Of course the best way to get this quality yield of juice is to get the Norwalk juicer. Below you will find a brief review of some of the best juicers in different price ranges. 

Foods For Your Well Being! - Avocado

AVOCADO

The avocado is packed with important nutrients and phytochemicals. It contains the powerful antioxidant glutathione that helps eliminate free radicals that are known to trigger the development of cancer and heart disease. 

The phytochemicals in avocado also have been known to have strong antifungal properties which are very helpful in the treatment of internal and external yeast infections. 

The avocado has been known to help the body stimulate the immune system, enhance antibody production, and aid in reducing blood pressure. Avocado have been known to also slow the effects of ageing by protecting the skin and maintaining hair, mucous membranes, sweat glands, nerves, muscles and bone marrow. Recent research has shown that avocados can enhance male fertility and improve sperm health. 

Many have worried about the fat count in avocados, but this is unwarranted. Avocados contain good fats that fight fat. The fat in avocados helps reduce LDL cholesterol levels in the blood and helps stabilize blood sugar levels.

Improve Your Performance with Organic Beetroot Juice

Organic Beetroot Juice Proven to be a Natural Performance Enhancer!

This is an amazing finding and should help many who are looking to improve their performance naturally. There is evidence found in research which was published in the Journal of Applied Physiology that shows that the nitrate in beetroot juice leads to a reduction in oxygen uptake, slowing the rate at which a person becomes exhausted. Drinking beetroot juice has shown to extend exercise time for at least 16 percent longer. 

Researchers say that the reduction in oxygen use was greater than that achieved by using any other known means, including training. The findings could be valuable information to athletes, elderly people or those who have complications with cardiovascular, respiratory or metabolic diseases.

The research was conducted by a team at the University of Exeter, in England. The study was conducted with eight men from the ages of 19 to 38. Each were given 500 millilitres of organic beetroot juice a day for six consecutive days before completing a series of tests that involved cycling on a stationary bike. On other occasions they were given a placebo of black current cordial for six consecutive days before completing the same cycling tests.

The study found that after drinking organic beetroot juice, the group was able to cycle for an average of 11 minutes, 25 seconds. That is 92 seconds longer than when using the placebo. Another interesting finding was the group that consumed the organic beetroot juice also had a lower resting blood pressure. 

WHICH APPLES YOU SHOULD BE JUICING

WHICH APPLES YOU SHOULD BE JUICING....

Granny Smith

•  The Granny Smith green apple is a tip-bearing apple cultivar, which originated in Australia in 1868. It is named after Maria Ann Smith, who propagated the cultivar from a chance seedling. The tree is thought to be a hybrid of Malus sylvestris, the European Wild Apple, with the domestic apple M. domestica as the polleniser. The fruit has hard, light green skin and a crisp, juicy flesh.

  Granny Smiths go from being yellow to turning completely green. The acidity mellows significantly, and it then takes on a balanced flavour. (from Wikipedia)

Granny Smith apples also have the least amount of sugar of all the apples. This is the apple I use the most as I like the tartness especially when juiced with a lime.

Foods For Your Well Being! -Turmeric

TURMERIC

Turmeric’s main ingredient is curcumin which has anti-inflammatory properties that have been used in traditional medicine to treat arthritis. Recent research has revealed that turmeric is beneficial in the treatment of many different health conditions from cancer to Alzheimer’s disease.

Turmeric has been known to be used for weight management and helps with fat metabolism. Turmeric also speeds up wound healing and helps in the repair of damaged skin and may help in the treatment of psoriasis and other inflammatory skin conditions. Turmeric is really a natural wonder with amazing health benefits. 

5 Recipes and 5 Tips for Using a Juicer

5 Recipes and 5 Tips for Using a Juicer

8/8/2014 10:47:00 AM

By Jonathan Sadowski

I have been bitten by the “juicing bug.”  I bought a juicer less than 12 hours after I finished watching the documentary “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead,” which is highly recommended to anyone looking to be inspired about health and natural foods.  After a honeymoon where I juiced anything and everything, I have found out a few recipes that really work for my tastes and budget that I have shared in picture form below.  I also wanted to share a few pearls with those who are new, or may be thinking of entering, the juicing game.

1) Experiment, experiment, experiment.  There are plenty of sites that will provide recipes and accompanying shopping lists to have a certain kind of juicing experience.  While following “the book” is ok at the start, accounting for personal taste and seasonal availability (and price) is not taken into account.  Try a little of this, a little of that, combinations that seem like they would not complement each other.  Remember (possibly write down) what worked and what didn’t.  Don’t worry too much if something doesn’t work because…….
2) If a taste is not appealing, diluting the juice is an easy way to kill a lot of the taste and still get all the nutrients extracted.
3) Sticking with the gross theme, don’t juice a parsnip.  It’s the one time I could not finish what I juiced.  I hope this saves at least one person from making the same mistake.
4) Green apples save the day.  When they are in season, I stock up, because I have learned, that no matter how funky the combo, if a green apple or two are in the mix, the taste will be manageable.  Remember, juicing a lot of fruit leads to high concentrations of natural sugars, so save the sweet stuff as sort of an ace up the sleeve.
5) Try the juice before shutting off or taking apart the juicer.  You’ll know before it’s too late whether that green apple or an extra carrot is needed, because, yes, putting everything back together while the new juice sits idly is sometimes more than I can handle.
So without further ado, here are the recipes:

Foods For Well Being! - Ginger

Ginger has been used all over Asia for centuries. It warms and stimulates the appetite. Ginger has been known to strengthen the immune system and help with digestion.

11 Ways You Can Use Apple Cider Vinegar

Everyone should have a bottle of raw, organic, unfiltered and unpasteurized apple cider vinegar (aka ACV) in their home! It’s a multiuse vinegar for both internal and external personal use ... and it’s great for a couple of household chores.

ACV is made from apple juice and is fermented to hard apple cider. It's then fermented a second time to become apple cider vinegar. It should be made from organic apples and be unheated, unfiltered and unpasteurized to keep the "mother" intact.

The "mother" in apple cider vinegar is visible as cloudy strings in the bottom of the bottle, and is full of beneficial enzymes, pectin, and trace minerals. It’s worth shaking the bottle each time before using ACV to distribute these elements.

Dr. Oz's Green Drink

Dr. Oz's Green Drink  

Here's the hard to find recipe! Dr. Oz says he drinks this every morning, and so does Oprah. After Oprah tried this on the show, she was surprised how good it tasted, calling it a "glass of fresh!"

If you're here and you're new to juicing, you may find that this tastes a bit "earthy" because your taste buds may not be used to this whole thing. If that's the case, just add an extra apple or two to sweeten it up.

You can blend this recipe too, but I imagine you'll want to peel the lemon, lime, and ginger.

Ingredients

• Apples - 2 medium (3" dia) 364g

• Celery - 3 stalk, large (11"-12" long) 192g

• Cucumber - 1 cucumber (8-1/4") 301g

• Ginger Root - 1/2 thumb (1" dia) 12g

• Lemon (with rind) - 1/2 fruit (2-3/8" dia) 42g

• Lime (with rind) - 1 fruit (2" dia) 67g

• Parsley - 1 bunch 150g

• Spinach - 2 cup 60g

The Easy Way To Start Juicing

The Easy Way To Start Juicing

If you’re looking to lose weight or just get healthy, juicing can be a great option to improve your diet and get plenty of nutrients without too many calories. Read on for some easy tips on how to stick to your diet, make juice taste better and many other things.

If you are planning on juicing citrus fruits only, or primarily citrus fruits, consider purchasing a juicer that is designed just for citrus. Many juicers have trouble with the amount of pith in a citrus fruit. In addition, juicers with metal surfaces will become corroded over time after repeated exposure to citrus fruits.

5 Foods You Should Be Juicing

When you think of juicing, a glass of something deep green and not very appetizing probably comes to mind. However, the best raw juice blends, as well as smoothie ingredients, actually incorporate different types of fruits and vegetables, not only for the nutritional benefits, but for some surprisingly great flavor.

Here are just a few of the types of foods that nutritionists say you should consider adding to your  juice or smoothie:

Frozen Fruit

You may already know what a great ingredient frozen fruits can be for smoothies, but you can juice them as well. Experts recommend that you choose frozen fruits with no added sugar.

Swiss Chard

A great glass of juice, or a smoothie, is all about balance. This means that it shouldn’t be all fruit, nor should basically be a glass of straight broccoli juice (umm, unless you really like that sort of thing).  Greens like kale and spinach always make great options, but have you tried Swiss chard? This green has a mildly sweet flavor, contains lots of antioxidants, and has been shown to help protect against heart disease and help lower your blood pressure and cholesterol.

JUICING MADE DELICIOUS

How to make your juicing taste great!

The body can heal itself when provided the proper nutrients. You can lose weight, improve memory, look 10 years younger and more just because you decided to juice and get the necessary nutrients you were lacking. You will probably be able to stop buying supplements now that you are getting all the vitamins in their best form from food.

THIS JUICER IS WORTH EVERY PENNY

My favourite juicer is the Super Angel juicer for overall quality for the price. I still love my Norwalk juicer however the Norwalk is just over $3,000.00 and the Super Angel is sold around the $1,200.00 price range. A great juicer with a great yield of juice and quality stainless steel construction and extremely easy to clean. I do not receive these juicers for free, I purchase them myself and test them thoroughly. This juicer impressed me so much that I gave it to my brother to get him into juicing. I still have my Norwalk and you would have a hard time getting me to part with it but the Super Angel is awesome!
