More Information About Juicing

One can get a lot of benefits from juicing that is why it is practices by lots of people already and more and more people are also trying it out. People have discovered that consuming fresh juice from fruits and vegetables is healthier and offers more health benefits compared to drinking soda drinks and ready to drink juices. One of the many advantages of juicing is that the body can quickly absorb the nutrients and minerals from the fruits and vegetables that is being juiced. We can therefore say that juicing has the ability to lessen the chances of acquiring illness and diseases that is most common in our society today and it also has the ability to improve nutrition and increase energy. Here are some tips that you can remember when juicing:

-Placing your juicer in the kitchen is recommended in order for you to be reminded every time to use it and consume fresh fruit and vegetable juice instead of ready to drink juices. This step will also help you to make it a healthy habit of making your own fresh juice and will also be more convenient for because you don't have to reach into the cupboard or any other place that you put your juicer into if you want to set it up and use it.

-Prepare and fresh fruits and vegetables that you are planning to juice by first washing them to make sure that they are free from dirt. Be reminded that washing fruits and vegetables by placing them under running water is recommended rather than soaking them in water. One should also keep in mind that it is advisable not to peel fruits and vegetables prior to juicing them since some of the nutrients are found under the peel, except for some other fruits and vegetables where the peel is inedible.

-There are fruits that are bigger than the mouth of the juicer, which makes it necessary for you to slice it into smaller portions to be able to juice them. Slicing these kinds of fruits and vegetables will make juicing more efficient and faster. Please be reminded as well that there is a need for you to remove pits and seeds from vegetables and fruits to avoid damaging your juicer.

-Drinking your juice right after you have juiced it should be practiced always. It is not recommended to let your juice exposed to air for a long time or even stay in the refrigerator since tendency is that it will turn to brown because the juice will be oxidized. Juice that is oxidized has an awful taste and the nutrients are wasted. Pouring a spoonful of lemon juice into your juice will help to prevent oxidation if your juice is exposed to air. But still, drinking your juice right after juicing it is the best way to prevent oxidation and maximize the nutrients that you can get from the juice.

-Regular cleaning of your juicer should be done and you should make it a point to always clean your juicer right after juicing. The reason for that is because there is a tendency that the juice and its pulp will dry up in the juicer once it is not washed immediately making it harder for you to clean. You may also use a small toothbrush to remove small dirt from the juicer.
