Tasty Juices Straight From Your Own Kitchen

When it comes to juicing, what are the best methods available? This may be a question that both you and others ask when it comes to this healthy hobby. Follow the advice that is provided in this article and you will be able to answer the question for others and put the information to good use with your own experiences.

Whenever you can, try to buy organic products for juicing. You are more than likely juicing for the health benefits, and maximum health benefits can be found in organic products. Your juice will be free from dangerous additives, and pesticides. You will also gain optimum levels of valuable vitamins and minerals.

By juicing fruits and vegetables you are basically pre-digesting it so that your stomach will have a far easier time passing the nutrients directly from the juice itself to your cells. This will provide an almost immediate boost to your energy levels, your health, and your overall sense of well being.

Buying a masticating juicer will allow the juice you make to have it’s nutrients break down much slower, meaning you can take your time in drinking it or even store it for a while. It will also leave as much of the natural nutrients intact as possible, giving you the most healthy juice to drink.

Always drink the juice immediately after juicing your fruits or vegetable. Once fruits or vegetables are juiced, they have lost their protective outer skin and begin to oxidize. Oxidation destroy nutriments, especially vitamin C. If you want to store the fresh juice to consume later, make sure you place it in an air tight container to minimize oxidation damage to the nutrients in the juice.

Juicing does remove some of the fiber from fruits and vegetables. If your are replacing your regular fruits and vegetable consumption with juices, make sure to add fiber to your diet. You can do this by eating more cereals and other whole grain foods, or add a fiber supplement to your juice.

Drink your juices as soon as possible after making them. Fruits and vegetables start oxidizing once they are juiced. Oxidization causes nutrients to be destroyed. So, the longer you wait to drink the juices, the less nutrient rich they will be. If you like to store extra juice, make sure to store it in an air-tight container as quickly as possible, too. This doesn’t stop the oxidization process, but it does slow it down considerably.

Don’t forget to wash your produce prior to juicing, and use organic products where possible. So many people seem to think that since it’s going to turn into juice, they don’t need to wash their fruits and veggies. Just because it’s liquid, doesn’t mean the chemicals present on the peels are going to go away. Clean your fruits and vegetables thoroughly before juicing.

In conclusion, it is best to know the tried and true proven methods when it comes to juicing. While experimentation is recommended, there are some basic principals that it is good to at least start out with. The information in this article should clear up any misconceptions that you have had.
