Juicer info: Bottled Juice V Making Your Own Juice

Hello,
This is our thoughts on bottled juices and why fresh juice from your juicer at home is the best thing for you! and while we are on this subject what exactly is juice from concentrate??
Take the humble apple for example, when an apple is growing on a tree in blazing sunlight then it's a living thing growing and rammed full of natures best goodness! As soon as you pick the apple it's reached it's peak and whatever happens from now it's losing it's natural goodness and living energy!
That's why it's a good idea to eat fresh fruit as soon as you can, and by fresh, nothing is fresher than straight off the tree! Fresh fruit and veg or freshly juiced fruit and veg juice is about as healthy as foodstuff gets. Rammed full of vitamins, minerals sucked straight from the ground, and easy to digest. Super.

Now freshly queezed bottled juice is good, no doubt, but think about it, the fruit is picked, sent to the factory, juiced ( and we hope it's juiced in a nutrient preserving way of course ) probably heat treated in some way to give it it's shelf life and then sent to the shop for you to buy! That's a good few hours there to say the least, and that heat treating will certainly degrade the nutrient content! Not good and not what we can call a living food is it?
And what does made from concentrate mean? well I'll tell you! This is a way to make cheaper juice at source, say you want pineapple juice in a country that pineapples don't grow. Here are the 6 steps of juice that is made from concentrate....
| 1 | grow your pineapples. |
| 2 | pick the pineapples and juice them . |
| 3 | dehydrate the juice, making pineapple concentrate (yes another heat treatment) . |
| 4 | ship the dehydrated pineapple concentrate to the country you want to sell juice in . |
| 5 | re-hydrate the pineapple pulp from the concentrate. |
| 6 | bottle the juice up and send it out to the shops for sale. |
It's things like this that can leave our food pretty dull and lifeless, the energy, nutrient content and life itself starts to fall away from our food as soon as it's picked.
This is why we think living juices straight from a slow speed, cold press style juicer are the best thing for you! Your body needs the fragile micro nutrients that processing, time and heat removes from your food.
We hope these articles on juicers, living foods and other live food methods are useful to you and get you thinking about what you can do to improve your health and vitality today!
