juicing

[Guest guest]

Lynette,

 

My favorite juice is carrot, celery, spinach and parsley. It is amazingly

sweet and very energizing. I love juicing!

Hi Barbara,

 

nothing is obliged so if you do not want juicing, do not do it. On

the other side, if you want to try it, then try it.

 

All depends on you, everyone of us is different. Just listen to your

body,

Barbara,

 

Your parents were right.

 

Our digestions were built upon ripe fruit which has nearly all we need. Of

course fruit has fibre which can be removed with a juicer but then the lower

gut is deprived of its basic fodder. Like it or not there is a lot of

important chemistry that goes on in that area as it has for millions of

years and goes on far more with other primates and mammals. The place for

juicing is in and out of fasting, whilst in transition and to offer cooked

food eaters as a break from the awful bunk they shove down themselves.

 

I find that with a raw diet the need for fasting goes down as well.

Hi, Barb. I'm new to the list. I juice.

 

Typically, I juice carrots and dandelions greens together, or carrots and

wheatgrass together. At a different juicing, I'll do pear and apple

together. But I also have these things unjuiced, as well.

 

As far as having too much fiber, it really depends on what you're eating.

If you're eating greens, I can't imagine anyone eating that many greens to

give you " too much " fiber.

 

I hope someone else addresses that issue, as I 'm curious about it too.

Where do we start? Veggie juices usually are based with carrot and 1/4 or less

green, apple to sweeten. I prefer eating the whole fruit...but watermelon can

be juiced completely and you lose little rind.

This is my basic veggie juice blend:

 

5 lbs. carrots

8 stalks celery

1 large cucumber

1 medium beet

1 large granny smith apple

 

This makes anywhere from 48 to 72 oz. of juice, depending on the juiciness of

the veggies (I use a Champion juicer, you might get other results, more or less,

using another kind of juicer.)

I use the pulp leftover from juicing to make raw food bars. I sweeten

it with raw agave necter, add some crushed seeds and nuts, and

dehydrate it until it is the texture I like. YUMMY! Elizabeth, what

Yes, many people do this sort of thing. These foods do make superior snacks

vs. their mainstream counterparts. But you are still refining the foods, you

are removing the most important nutrients of all, oxygen and water. And you

are no longer eating the foods whole. The fiber in a given food is integral

to the digestion of that food. The digestive system is not a checkerboard on

which we can just move things around as we please and still get optimal.

 

Again, no " right " or " wrong " in any of this. There are simply choices and

outcomes, or consequences. We can literally choose the results we wish to

create, then create them, that's the beauty of it all. So if we wish to

create convenience, we can do so. If we wish to create amazing energy and

vitality and genuinely have a shot at living healthfully to 140 or 150, we

can do so. All in a day's -- and a lifetime's -- decision making.

 

Best to all,

Elchanan

If I were you, I'd do an extensive search online, especially reputable health

sites and see what they say about juicers. That's what I had to do cause I just

wanted to know which juicer produced the 'healthiest' juice. There are lots of

juicers out there that might be a breeze to clean, but then you might be

compromising the quality of the juice by heating it.

 

Just do your homework.

We juice two to three times a day. We have a Champion juicer. It extracts more

juice than the small ones. We started out with the small ones. The better juicer

you get extracts better. We are juicers though. We have both juicers, wheatgrass

and the Champion and use them everyday. We have not been ill for a long time.

(knock on wood! lol) They do take up a lot of space.

Champion is a good one for sure.

 

But do check out the GreenStar...it does wheatgrass plus much more. It's pretty

You need a high speed for juicing vegetables and fruits and a low speed

squeezing action for wheatgrass. If the juicer has two speeds than that would be

wonderful. We have seen juicers advertised that say they will do both but they

don't.

I do! I love to juice. We use tons of carrots (about 20), about 5 celery stalks,

and a handful of parsley, then maybe an apple if we have one around. It makes

two large glasses. We had the Juiceman juicer for a short while, the motor gave

out. Now we have the Jack La Lane juicer and we're happy with it. The motor is

sufficient for us, and you don't have to chop things so much to they would fit

in the tube.

 

I compost the rest of the veggies that don't get juiced.

 

If you're looking for specific juicing recipes, I'd be glad to look it up in the

book that came with the juicer.

 

It's a great thing to do, IMO. Great for you.

I juice quite often, however, I felt guilty not consuming the pulp that was

left after juicing. Heard most of the nutrients are in the pulp anyway.

 

So I'm borrowing my Mom's Vita-Mix and throw the pulp in w/the juice now

and will add a banana and some other things like wheat germ or flax seed, so

I end up with quite a healty smoothie. If it becomes to thick, I will add

Hemp Milk or Aloe Vera Juice to thin it out.

 

They say you are supposed to be able to juice w/the vita mix, however, I

fail to see how you can extract all the juice from the fruit or vegetable

just using the mixer.

 

At any rate, my favorite combination is raw carrot, raw beet, and an apple

for sweetness.

Thanks so much for your reply. I was about to believe I wasn't going to get a

response. Yes, I too feel the same way about the pulp and have often thought

about putting it back in the juice after juicing. I juice in an attempt to aid

in digestion better. I use a juicer that I believe could squeeze the moisture

out of a rock. Won't mention the name on here (don't want to break any rules)

but he and his wife sell this juicer on TV. Got mine at target. I too use the

beet and carrot veggies but I add broccoli and sometimes kale. Usually add a

apple to sweeten it. Thanks again for your reply. J

Hi,

I juice quite a bit and you could try a bit of watermelon, a bit of red pepper,1

tomato, 1 carrot, 1 mango, ahandful of strawberries. It tastes really good.

The VitaMix juicer has a motor the equivalency of a small boat's motor, so that

might do it. The videos on their website are pretty awesome.

 

Please let me know what you think of the VitaMix as I am currently saving for

one, and would like a more unbiased opinion than some of the reviews I have

seen!

 

By the way, I add raw organic honey to my smoothies -it is yummy! (Though some

people do not consider it vegan or vegetarian).

I love my vita mix. You get all the juice and fiber, which is good. That

fiber, helps to slow down any increase in blood sugar and make our bodies work

regular.

 

Fiber not only promotes health, it also help reduce the risk for some chronic

diseases. For instance, fiber prevents constipation, hemorrhoids and

diverticulosis. Fiber is also linked to prevent some cancers especially colon

and breast cancer. In addition, fiber may help lower the LDL cholesterol (the

Bad cholesterol) and the total cholesterol therefore reducing the risk of heart

disease. Furthermore, fiber can help lower blood sugar therefore help better

manage diabetes. http://www.healthcastle.com/fiber-solubleinsoluble.shtml

 

 

 

 

 

It also is more filling. You'll love your Vita Mix. You can also join a

Vita Mix for lots of great discussion on them. Here is one that I

enjoy being on. vitamix-users/ Several here are

also members there.

Thanks for info about the vitamix juicer. I have the Jack LaLane juicer and have

pulp and adding water or some kind of broth to it and make it a soup it is

great. Otherwise you are throwing away, like you said the fiber. I may have to

look into a vitamix for myself. Thanks again. J

I also juice and use the pulp for soup. If I am not making soup right away, I

freeze the pulp

for another day . It make a great base add some onions potatoes ,turnip etc I

usually trow in the kitchen sink, whatever there is in the refrigerator.

If you use your Jack Lalane as much as I do it will not last long.

I have the expensive one that is stainless. The motor smells like it is burning

now.

Does not work well with the carrots anymore.

Pretty sure it still under warranty only had it maybe a year and 1/2

 

I want a Norwalk but $2000 is out of my price range right now.
