Juicing has become a real buzzword of late. Juicers have popped up all over the show offering a range of freshly pressed or squeezed juices that you can either enjoy once off, or if you are more committed, can do a cleanse for a few days. For the uninitiated, when we talk juicing, we don't mean buying a couple of boxes of fruit juice and living off that for a few days. Proper juicing entails getting a burst of high-quality nutrients, vitamins and minerals from a variety of fruits and vegetables that you otherwise would struggle to include in your diet every day. The benefits are numerous if you know what you are doing.
The quickest mistake would be to load up all your favorite fruits and have those three times a day - what you'll be doing is taking in a lot of additional sugar, unprocessed fruit sugars yes, but still it can have a negative effect on your body if you are not utilizing that energy.
THE KEY IS BALANCE. IF YOU'RE SOMEONE THAT'S NOT A HUGE VEGETABLE EATER, THIS CAN BE A WAY TO ENSURE YOU'RE GETTING EVERYTHING YOU NEED.
I spent 24-hours with the Progress Est.1931 Power Gear Super Juicer to see how easy juicing at home can be.
It's the morning of having the Russell Hobbs juicer in my home, I'm surprised that it's not nearly as cumbersome as I thought it might be, in fact, its design is quite sleek and neat. To kick-start my day I'm trying a citrus and beet juice, into the juicer goes peeled baby beetroot, green apples and grapefruit. I'm feeling a tad under the weather so I added a little ginger too. The machine is actually fairly quiet and works efficiently. The whole ingredients go in on one side and out the other side comes a perfect mixed juice. The taste is pretty spectacular; the balance of ginger, beetroot and citrus is really tasty (get the recipe).
I feel healthier already.
