Juicing… Is it good? Is it bad? What are the benefits, risks, and effects juicing has on your body? We know, you have so many unanswered questions, leaving you feeling slightly confused and overwhelmed, which is why we have decided to put this simply! Everything you need to know about juicing – with DNA Juicer

There are no right or wrong answers to juicing. It is important, however, to ensure that you are juicing correctly. There are a few things to take into account when you starting out, which include: why are you juicing, which juicer should you be purchasing, what fruit and vegetables are you juicing, and lastly, is juicing right for your body and lifestyle?

Which Fruits And Vegetables Are Good To Juice

There is such a wide variety of fruits and vegetables that you can use for juicing! We love the idea of ‘combos by color’ meaning, for each juice you make, you work around the colors of the rainbow, this way you are sure to get all necessary nutrients and vitamins throughout the week. 

We advise using a ratio of 1:3 (fruits : vegetables) so that your juices are not too filled with sugar, but still taste great!

How Often Should You Juice

This is entirely up to you, there are many ways you can incorporate juicing into your lifestyle.

If you have never juiced before, we recommend adding one juice to your diet a day either on an empty stomach or with breakfast. 

The more you get familiar with juicing, then you can start replacing your breakfast with a healthy juice. We only recommend replacing a meal if your aim is to detox or lose weight, otherwise carry on enjoying it with your food. 

If you would like to try a juicing cleanse, we recommend doing 1, 3, 5, 7, or 10 Days. Perhaps start off by making every Monday a juice cleanse and once you have the strength to do a 3 day cleanse then you must just ensure that 3 days before your cleanse you remove caffeine, alcohol, sugar and meat products from your diet so that your body doesn’t go into a shock when you start the cleanse. 

 

Which Juicer Do We Recommend

Centrifugal Vs. Masticating Juicers

There are so many different kinds of juicers available on the market, however, the single most important factor you need to take into account when starting your juicing journey is the quality of the juicer you purchase! The main difference between the centrifugal and masticating juicers is the way in which they break down the food.

The Centrifugal Juicers have one blade that rotates at a very high speed to break down the food allowing it to flow freely, much like a blender.  The result of this juice has a lot more foam and separates quickly. They are also noisy, which makes sense due to their lower price brackets. 

The Masticating Juicers make use of various ‘gears’ instead of blades. Most nutritionists prefer this method since the juice does not come into contact with high temperatures ensuring the natural enzymes remain. The masticating or ‘Cold Press Juicers’ are slightly more expensive, however, the convenience, quality, and sound of the juicer are worth every other cent.

After much research, we came across the DNA Cold Press Juicer which we believe offers superior technology at an affordable price. It is simple to use, easy to clean and doesn’t give off any loud noises. You can also make delicious sorbets with the DNA Juicer!
