Book Reviews of Juicing for Health
Book Review: A Good Introduction to Juicing
Summary: 5 Stars
"Fruit and vegetables, especially in their raw state, contain living enzymes that are essential in the breaking down and absorption of nutrients." ~ pg. 1
When Julie Stafford says you will feel different in just a few days, she is quite correct. Try juicing and you will notice that you have more energy and feel more alert. She also says that juices help to speed up the body's metabolism. If you are wondering why fresh juices are better for you it is because store-bought juices are pasteurized (heated) and this kills the natural enzymes and destroys the vitamin C.
This book helped me understand the healthiest way to juice. Like there is advice on when to leave the skins on certain fruits and vegetables because the most valuable nutrients are often found just below the skin. There are also some tips on how to use the leftover fiber when baking or even when making soups. Two chapters cover the topic of vitamins and minerals in juices.
The recipes in this book are interesting and gave me some ideas about flavor combinations. Each chapter in the recipe section starts with one specific fruit or vegetable and then gives options for juice combinations. Some include:
Pear, Grapefruit and Pineapple
Mango, Orange, Pineapple and Passionfruit
Lemon, Mandarin and Pineapple
Blueberry, Pear and Lemon juice
After juicing for almost a week I've discovered that you don't really need to follow the recipes too closely. In this book weights of fruit and vegetables are given and I find that less helpful than just saying juice a pineapple and orange and an apple. I like juicing one entire fruit or vegetable so there is less waste. So feel free to modify anything in this book. I've had great success just using some of the flavor combinations. Here is one recipe I made up today:
1 pineapple, peeled and sliced
1 apple, unpeeled
8 strawberries, cut in half
If you have 15 minutes try this gourmet juice
I made this up and it goes faster if you prep all the
vegetables first and have them ready on a plate. That way
you're not turning the juicer on and off which seems
to waste time (juice it in this order):
2 cloves garlic
5 basil leaves
handful parsley
2 tomatoes, cut into wedges
15 chives
2 celery ribs
1 carrot, sliced in half lengthwise
2 radishes, cut in half
1/2 cucumber, peeled and cut in half lengthwise
Stir in - a little hot sauce like Tiger Sauce
to spice things up a bit
The juicer I've been using is Black & Decker Juice Extractor. As long as you don't mind cutting fruits and vegetables in small pieces I think you will appreciate the efficiency and the results. The juice is separated from the fiber giving you a more instant form of energy.
"A raw-food diet, especially using juices, has the ability to correct cell respiration and in doing so increases the body's immunity to disease." ~ pg. 26
