Hey all! I’ve been hearing a lot about juicing these days, so my mom and I finally made one the other day.
Dr. Ben Kim, a chiropractor and acupuncturist living and working in Barrie, Ontario, Canada, just sent out a newsletter last week addressing this. If you haven’t already heard of Dr. Ben Kim, I highly recommend checking out his website (click on his name above for the link) because he has a TON of great information to share!
Anyway, here’s the link to his Juice post:
How to Cleanse and Nourish Your Cells with Freshly Pressed Vegetable Juices
I also saw a video on orange juice yesterday. It talks about how “Two-thirds of households buy orange juice in the U.S. and most don’t know that “fresh” juice that is not made from concentrate loses its flavor when stored and shipped in giant tanks. Juice companies then put flavor packs in the stored juice. These flavor packs have been engineered by flavor and perfume companies. It is not so much that this is bad for your health (I’m not sure if it is or not), the big issue is that you don’t really know what you are buying and you have a right to know. Your “fresh” orange juice is processed and flavored.”
Here it is if your interested:
So after all this talk about juice, I made my own:
My mom likes to call it “liquid gold” because it tastes sooooo good, and it is sooooo good for you!
I use Jack LaLanne’s Power Juicer Deluxe. It works really well. The only reason why we chose this was because we knew Jack sold really good juicers, and Costco sold the Deluxe version for a discount!
Thought-provoking, mind-prodding question of the day:
Do you guys Juice? What are your favorite ingredients to put in your juices?
If you do juice, How does juicing make you feel, and why do you choose to juice?
I know I love juicing because it tastes good, I can feel my body feasting on the vitamins of the juice, and I feel energetic, too!
i used to do a lot of juicing, espeically green juices. i will probably do more later in the summer.
it really does make a difference in how i feel. especially if i have a lot of rich foods and then wake up and hacve a green juice it re-hydrates and refreshes me and i always feel much better <3
Love the fishy cup 🙂
I have never tried juicing. I mostly just consume my fruit whole and raw. What you said about “fresh” juice has really got me thinking. I wish it was easier to know what is actually in the products we buy.
Thanks for your comment on my blog. How cool that we both by tennis. I also play competitively, both for my school and in other touraments.
bahaha when you asked if we juice it sounds like your asking if we do steroids! I giggled 🙂
