First morsel of advice: There is a lot of information available out there on the world wide web, free of charge. Read, read and read – then read some more. There is a lot to take in but in the end its not rocket science…

Juicing ingredients

It is important to get familiar with members of the fruit and vegetable families, what they give to you in way of nutrition, how they function together in recipes and so forth. You don’t like kale? Check if you can get the incredible health benefits accredited to kale with the aid of some other vegetable.

Start constructing drafts of ‘menus’ based on what you learn and add juicing recipes to these menus. Again, there is a wealth of resources out there but you can also just type something like “best juicing books” into google and get a list of books for inspiration. My two cents would be to invest in at least one good book, as there tends to be some good information presented in these.

Juicing machines – what do you need?

So you have some idea as to what you want to put in your body but what machine are you going to run it through first? You can break the types of juicers into 3 categories to start with:

• Centrifugal
• Masticating
• Twin gear

The centrifugal machines are loud, affordable and don’t give the best yield. I would however recommend springing for one if you are trying out juicing for the first time. Why? Because if you wind up not sticking to it, you don’t have hundreds of dollars worth of machinery to add on top of the possible guilt trip…

Masticating juicers give much better yield and don’t heat as much, therefore retaining the nutrients much better in the resulting juice.

Twin gears are amazing machines, built for a lifetime and very versatile, juicing anything from roots to wheatgrass and pretty much all that lies inbetween. They’re also a considerable investment. Tell you what, try this site for both some recipes and some reviews, juicersandrecipes.com

So while we’re not going to fit all the details in this short post, surely this is a start and our advice would be to scan the rest of our site for further details as needed or just make use of a good search engine. Juicing is a bit of work to get into but it can also be a lot o fun and it is certainly exciting when you start seeing and feeling the benefits!

The most affordable and fun way to improve and maintain your health is by drinking fresh and tasty juices. Fruits and vegetables are naturally packed with countless important nutrients which not only keep your body healthy, but also fight a variety of disorders. Luckily, you can find hundreds of juicing recipes for health on the internet, we have also dedicated an entire section to natural recipes with high healing power.

If you want to get the maximum benefit from the juicing recipes for health, you should invest a few bucks in a well-reputed recipe book instead of trying every other recipe that shows up in Google. And if you are buying a new juicer, it’ll probably come with a recipe book.

Five tips to get the most out of the juicing recipes for health

1. Buy a juicer instead of a blender if you are primarily buying it to improve/maintain your health. And if you can afford, go for a masticating juicer as they offer higher yield, higher nutritional value and can juice a wider variety of produces including the most nutritive leafy greens.
2. Go green. Some people call greens “super veggies”. It’s good to add a handful of greens to almost every recipe you try. Their advantages are countless but they are not very tasty and excessive consumption might upset your stomach.
3. Juice whole fruits – whenever possible. Obviously you have to peel off some fruits (e.g. oranges) before juicing them, but other fruits like apples should be juiced without their skin or pith being removed. It’s also good to put some of the leftover pulp back into your juice as it will add fiber. You can also use the pulp in a variety of other dishes, just try not to throw it into your waste bin.
4. Drink fresh – ideally drink it as soon as you turn your juicer off. If you must store, then freeze the produce instead of the juice.
5. Go organic – doing so is tough, but it ensures there are no chemicals/pesticides in your juice.

Ingredients useful for common disorders

Anxiety: Celery is probably the best ingredient if you suffer from anxiety. You can mix it with several other ingredients including cucumber, apples, limes/lemons, and carrots to increase its impact.

Cancer: If you are fighting this life-threating disease, regularly drink the famous V8 recipe which is made of Carrots, Celery, Cucumbers, Parsley, Pepper, Spinach and Tomatoes. Grapefruit, strawberry and cruciferous vegetable (e.g. broccoli) juices are also considered very useful.

Fever: A simple recipe made of Peach, Pear and Pineapple can quickly relieve the burning sensation of fever. Adding ginger and lemon to most recipes also has a good effect.

Obesity: Apple, kale, tarragon, citruses, carrots, beetroots, pears, grapes, berries, and pomegranate are some ideal items that produce delicious juice for people trying to get rid of extra fat.

Note: we believe that juicing recipes for health can be highly effective in almost any scenario, but we recommend you to eat a balanced diet and in case you are suffering from a chronic disease, never replace the prescribed medicine with juices, instead use them as an additional supplement.
