Powerful Health Weapon Can Increase Your Energy

By the time you finish reading this article, you'll possess a
powerful weapon in your fight against chronic tiredness and
other health problems.

This potent weapon is not new. It's well known by many health
experts.

So what is this key resource to help you enjoy better health?

It's making Your Own fresh fruit and vegetable juices. When you
juice fruits and vegetables, you make delicious drinks that will
contribute to increased energy and enhanced health.

Why is juicing so effective?

Here's how this wonderful health weapon works: juices are
absorbed almost immediately into your body, thus supplying
needed vitamins and minerals. Cooking vegetables removes a lot
of their nutritional value, but juicing saves these vitamins and
minerals. So you get mega-doses of vitamins and minerals.

Let's say you make a carrot-apple drink from one apple and four
carrots. Imagine sitting down and eating all those at one time
in their original state! But you get the vitamins and minerals
from the fruit and vegetables in their juice and it's living!
That's because the vitamins and minerals have not been destroyed
by the pasteurization process used to make juice sold in stores.

How do you get the maximum health return from juicing?

Start your day right by drinking freshly-made juice. It's wise
to drink it before you eat and then wait about ten minutes
(before eating the rest of your breakfast) to give your body a
headstart as it absorbs the life-giving fluid into your
bloodstream.

Don't let the juice sit around, but drink it within minutes of
making it to retain those precious vitamins and minerals.

You can also add to your fiber intake by using the pulp in
muffins and bread. Just add the pulp of your favorite fruits and
vegetables to your recipe and you'll have a moist taste-bud
pleasing treat!

How are fruits and vegetables prepared for juicing?

First wash them. Cut out any bad spots that you wouldn't want to
eat. You usually don't need to peel fruits and vegetables.

What are some popular juice recipes?

1. Carrot Juice

Carrots are a favorite for juicing purposes. Put them through
your juicer one at a time and don't peel them.

Carrot drinks taste great all by themselves, but you can also
use them as a base for other fruits and vegetables too. Carrots
and apples taste wonderful together. Children love this
combination taste treat!

2. Celery Juice

Celery should be cut into 3-4 inch sections and fed into your
machine at a steady pace.

3. Fresh Apple Drink

Just cut the apples into pieces that will fit into the feeding
chamber. You don't need to core them, although you might want to
do so.

4. Melon Thirst Quencher

You'll need to remove the rinds but not the seeds. Most
varieties of melons are great for juicing.

5. Combo Drink

Add all different kinds of vegetables together, including
tomatoes. It's fun to experiment! But don't put in vegetables or
fruit that you don't like to eat because your beverage won't
taste good to you.

What kinds of juicers are available?

1. Centrifugal-ejection machines

These are good for most uses.

2. Low-speed masticating juicers

These do a better job juicing spinach and wheatgrass.

3. Twin gear juicers

These machines work in two stages. First the fruits and
vegetables are crushed and then the juice is pressed out. You
get a higher quality drink because of this process, but twin
gear machines are slower than the other juicers.

4. Citrus juicers

If you're just squeezing lemons, oranges and grapefruit, this is
the one for you.

The better the machine, the longer the warranty. The inexpensive
juicers aren't made to withstand daily use. A powerful motor
extracts juice faster with less strain. Centrifugal juicers
should have a motor rating of at least 450-watts. Machines that
use a slow, grinding motor speed (masticating and double-auger
models) don't need as much wattage.

If making your own energy-packed juice isn't in your arsenal of
health weapons yet, it should be.

Step up your energy to a much higher level by juicing your way
to vibrant health!
