Jack Lalanne Juicer

Juicing is a great way to enjoy a piece of fruit or vegetable with all of its natural enzymes and minerals intact. A simple example of one of our favorite healthy juices is freshly squeezed orange juice, packed with Vitamin C. Juicing is a great way to get your proper nutrients from fruits and veggies, especially when you are in a hurry. If I could just take the time to do this on a regular basis, I would do it!! Juicing is predominantly used in detoxification programs, to rest the digestive system, for some cases of illness, and of course, for weight-loss.

Juicing is used to flush the kidney, liver and gastrointestinal system of toxins. For health professionals dealing with the side effects of drugs such as antiretrovirals, juicing may assist in removing the toxic by-products of the drugs. Juicing is simply the most practical way to optimise your intake of vegetables and fruit to a level that you could not possibly munch your way through. Taking an extreme example, Max Gerson, says in his book, ‘A Cancer Therapy’ that in a year an average patient on his regime would consume 1800 lbs of carrots; 1300 lbs of apples; 145 heads of red cabbage; 400 lettuces; 125 lbs of green peppers etc.

Juicing is an extremely efficient way of obtaining large quantities of high quality nutrients in a form that the body is best equipped to utilise. By breaking down the cells of the produce we juice, we release the liquid contents and discard the fibres we don’t need. Juicing is a simple, tasty method for you to supplement your diet with concentrated vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients derived from natural sources. By separating the most nutritious part of the plant from the indigestible fiber, it allows you to consume substantially more of any given vegetable or fruit. Juicing is an excellent means of adding fruits and vegetables to your diet. Since juice contains the whole fruit or vegetable-except for the fiber, which is the indigestible part of the plant-it contains virtually all of the plants’ health-promoting components.

Juicing is very important to your health. You have to be extra careful in taking-in juices that will increase your blood sugar levels. Juicing is great for another reason: it’s a great way to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. Too often we get into a routine of eating the same fruits and vegetables either because we are too stubborn to try something new or perhaps because we lack knowledge of how to prepare or cook different produce. Juicing could be the key to reversing the progress of disease.
