Juicing...



Juicing is the process of extracting the juice from fruits and vegetable.There are few kinds of juicer machine

1.Masticating Juicers - With this juicers, the produce is chewed up to extract the juiceoperates at a slower speed. It chews the fibers and breaks up the cells of vegetables and fruits.

2.Triturating Juicers - Also called two-gear or twin-gear juicers. First your produce is crushed, and then the pulp These juicers also have magnetic and bio-ceramic technology that slows down the oxidation process,

3.Centrifugal Juicers - A centrifugal juicer also grinds up your produce, but then strains using a high-speed spinning actionchopped up fruit and vegetables through a chute onto a spinning basket that grates and chops the fruit / vegetable

In my case, i get the centrifugal type. I bought the Philips juicer HR1681, I started juicing last year.and just got lazy because of the time spent prepping the veggies, fruits and cleaning the machine But since I've made a lot of New Year's resolutions for 2009.and the top of my list are travel to a place I've never been and back to jucing regularly.

I am venturing on a liquid diet called juice diet I think it's easier to drink more vegetables than you can eat. Juicing also allows you to drink the nutrients of a large quantity of fruits & veggies -that we may not be able to do practically if we were eating those foods
As of now, I juice everything celery, cucumbers,apples, oranges, carrots,pineapple it detoxify your system. surprisingly the mixture tastes sweet and raw; not that bad.

I have this penchant for snacking and began replacing my usual midnight heavy snacks with juice and hope this one works for me. as summer is past approaching and i need to wear that brazilian swimwear again.or else...I'l settle for my old tankini..
