The Health Benefits Of A Juice Maker

By Ian Randin

A juice maker is becoming an increasingly popular appliance in the kitchen as many people become increasingly aware of the health benefits of juicing. The freshest of juices can be obtained with one of these machines. The fresher the better, because more of the nutrients are preserved in the fresh juice.

When freshly prepared in the maker the flavors of the fruit and vegetables are preserved in their sweetest state. Carrot juice is one good example, where it is at its sweetest within the first half hour which is the optimum time for it to be consumed. Twenty minutes is the best time within which to drink citrus juices

Another great benefit you get by using a juice maker is that juices are at their highest and best nutritional value. You can guarantee that there are no extra additives or chemicals in your juice, and you can create many amazing combinations instantly.

The most natural juice drinks are produced by using organically grown fruit and vegetables. When making the drink you have the option of keeping the pulp, rind and skin in the juice or discarding them. When using your own machine you have the benefit of keeping these extra bits and making the freshest juice possible.

The fresh, raw vegetables and fruits are also an excellent source for getting the live enzymes and amino acids that are vital for good health.

With a juice maker appliance, you can get a lot more power per ounce from your raw vegetables and fruits. A single cup of juiced carrot is equal to around four cups of the raw vegetable. Juices are much more easily digested, and it is far easier for your body to take in the nutrients via the liquid form.

The pulp, rind and skin can be used for adding fiber to the diet. Also many fitness experts, like Jack Lalanne have extolled the health benefits of drinking fruit juices. They believe that they can reduce the risks of heart disease, cancers and other diseases. The have also claimed that they reduce the aging process along with increasing energy levels and fitness.

Different juicers cost less than thirty dollars to sometimes hundreds of dollars, depending on what functions they perform. Horsepower is an important factor if you are an avid, regular juicer. Pulp removal should be easy to perform. Some of the juicers will also masticate food, and are used in making sauces, baby food, or nut butters.
