Masticating Juice Extractor

With so many people these days becoming more health conscious and wanting to shed those extra pounds, people are looking for a healthier way of preparing food and drinks for themselves and for their families. Because of this renewed focus on health and weight loss masticating juicers are becoming more popular than ever as a way to provide their families with healthier foods and beverages.

To understand why masticating juice extractors are becoming so popular you must first understand why homemade juice is superior to that juice you can pick up from your groceries shelf or cooler. Think of that juice in your local store. It is made, stored and then transferred to your local grocery where it sits on a shelf or in a cooler until you or someone else purchases it. Due to the necessity for these juices to have a long shelf life the manufacturers must add certain additives to keep the juices from spoiling. Many of these additives are less than healthy. In addition, these manufacturers seek to enhance the natural taste of these juices by adding salt, sugar and other things which make these juices high in calories and other things which is actually counter productive to eating healthy and to weight loss.

On the other hand making your own juices means that you can use fresh organically grown fruits and vegetables meaning that there will be no pesticides or other harmful chemicals inherent in your juice. In addition since you make this juice fresh, there are no need for all those nasty additives that prolong the shelf life but, does little for your health. Also keep in mind that making you own juice allows you to avoid putting in additional salt and sugars that can be a deterrent to weight loss.

In addition, most mass produced fruit juices are canned using high heat. Heating these juices destroys many of the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients your body needs to maintain good health and to strengthen your immune system. These vitamins and minerals are even more important to people who are dieting due to the the fact that when reducing your calorie intake you also reduce the amount of vitamins and minerals those calories contained. This means you need to get the most vitamins and nutrients out of the food you eat and making your own juices will allow you get the maximum amount of calories, minerals and nutrients to help you stay healthy while you lose those extra pounds.

With these things in mind, let's look at why a masticating juice extractor is a good choice for making fresh juices to help improve you health and lose weight.

A masticating juicer actually create juice in two stages. In the first stage the juicer chews up the fruit and vegetables and breaks it down into pulp. Because of this chewing action, masticating juicers are better able then most juicers to break down the tougher fibrous cells of many vegetables. Once the juicer has created the pulp it then squeezes the pulp to get all the juice possible from the fruit and vegetables.

Masticating juicers because of their chewing action are more able to chew up such things as wheat grass and celery which are difficult for regular juicers to convert from their natural state into juice.

These juicers also create less oxidation during their juicing process, which result in the juice being able to be kept fresh longer.

Not only, can you make juices with a masticating blender but you can also make organic nut butters, ice deserts and organic baby foods that contain no pesticides or additives giving them great tasting and healthier foods and desserts than those purchased through your local grocer.

Eating healthier means choosing those foods that are good for our body, that strengthens our immune systems and does not contain additives or insecticides that can damage our health or our environment. By choosing organically grown fruits and vegetables and using a masticating juice extractor to get the most vitamins and nutrients in our juice without those harmful additives we can rest assured that we are consuming the best foods to help us lose weight and maintain our health.
