Juicing tips
Before you start
- Choose the right juicer – The best juicer rotates at 40 RPM (that’s revs per minute) so it goes slow enough to juice the vegetables, fruits and nuts but without destroying the micro nutrients and live enzymes. The faster the RPM the hotter the machine and the more oxidation that takes place.
- If you don’t have a juicer? – Make smoothies instead!
- Use organic vegetables – When you are juicing the whole fruit including the peels toxins and pesticides end up in the juice and can cause serious health issues.
- Buy local, seasonal and have your veggies delivered – There are great home delivery organic vegetable companies who will deliver to your home so support local and buy seasonal! It’s a win win for everyone, especially your body!
- Reuse your pulp! – Most machines separate the pulp from so you can recycle the pulp for recipes or compost.
- Follow the schedule!
