Some people say they can recognize a ‘juicer’ at the greengrocer or at the local supermarket from the distance. How? Well, they are the ones who load large amounts of apples and carrots into their trolley. Additionally, they have that look of something like ‘I am so healthy’.

It is vital to consume food that is rich in enzymes. However, if you buy bottles or cartons of juice you are not getting your share of enzymes. Carton of juice are in most cases pasteurized, process during which enzymes are most likely destroyed.

On the other hand fresh juicing is great and healthy because fresh juice contains a high amount of vitamins, enzymes and minerals and they also have an incredible taste. Additionally, you have the freedom to choose your own ingredients in accordance to your current health requirements.

There are numerous juicers on the market today with radical price differences. A beginner should start with an easy to clean medium priced juicer model. On the other hand, if you are not ready to spend money on a juicer, but you do have a blender, you can simply remain with smoothes. Another option is a nut milk or nylon sprout bag where to strain the pulp for the juice. In this case, you should slice up the produce and also add some water.

If you suffer from diabetes, thrush, candidacies or suffer from heartburn/reflux problems do not exaggerate with sweet vegetable (carrots for example) or fruit juices. It would be preferable to consume green juice which alkalizes the entire body. If you are not quite with its taste, try to add some lemon to it.

Actually, lemon has a special effect on the flavour of the juice. It is interesting that lemon is acid only outside the body. As it gets into the organism, it alkalizes. Lime and white grapefruit have the same effect.

Generally, there is no need to peel the produce but there are some vegetables and fruits that you should peel, such as a pineapple. However, in the case of organic produce you simply need to scrub it and leave the peeling process for produce that is not organic. One final tip: before you add ginger into the juicer, squeeze it through a garlic press and simply mix it with the finished juice.

Enjoy your juicing!
