Healthy living starts with a fresh glass of detox juice. Here are some simple but effective tips for detox juicing at home.
Drink vegetable juice first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Vegetable juice helps to detoxify your body. It is the easiest and effective way to cleanse, remove toxins from body.
Fresh vegetable juice is loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants etc. Avoid too many fruits.
Juice Machines:
Consider a cold-press slow juicer machine like Omega Cold-Press & Nutrition Systems.
Alternatively, if you don’t want to invest on juicer right now, use Vitamix or a high-speed blender and strain the juice.
Why Cold-press Slow Juicer? The slow cold-press juicing process retains the nutrients of fruits and vegetables while extracting almost all the juice, the waste pulp is really dried. The high speed juicers and blenders heat up the vegetables and fruits ruining the nutrition.
Invest in a good slow/cold-press juicer like Omega which is not just a juicer but a multi-purpose nutrition system which can make fruits & vegetables juice, sorbet, nut milk, nut butter, baby food, etc.
Use Organic & Fresh fruits & vegetables for juicing – wash all the ingredients thoroughly by soaking it in water for few hours before juicing.
Do not let juice sit around! Juice only when you are ready to drink right away. Do not refrigerate this juice
Juice Drinking Tips:
Drink juice very very slowly, sip by sip, this way juice mixes well with our saliva which is alkaline in nature, making it more digestible, soothes your digestive system.
So “Chew” your juice instead of gulping it down.
Limit the quality of juice to 200-250 ml & tonic to shot size
Built your own juice –
Make juice using 95% of fresh vegetable and 5% fresh fruits
For best result use 100% vegetables, avoid fruits.
Always go for lower-sugar fruits
Avoid using vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, radish, drier vegetables
Do not add salt/spices to your juice. Instead add fresh herbs like mint, parsley, coriander leaves, basil, etc.
Avoid adding ice to your juice
