Ok what would you prefer?
Stick a pill on your tongue, try to avoid its bitterness, gag as you attempt to swallow it, wash it down with water and never see it again, and hope its vitamin and mineral integrity are everything the manufacturers say it is?
Or ?
Cut up a few pieces of brightly coloured, succulent and inviting fruits and vegies, feed them through a quietly confident and attractive appliance on your kitchen counter, straight into a sparkling glass and ? drink!
Sure, it?s really easy to pop a pill, but how about a bit of enjoyment with your vitamins? In the time it takes you to make toast or boil a kettle, you could be preparing your very own totally fresh, wonderfully tasty and happily creative fruit and vegetable juice!
Research has shown that bought juices, the manufactured kind, lose a lot of their vitamin content when stored on a supermarket shelf, or refrigerator, for longer than a day or so. Frankly, the longer the shelf life, the less you?re going to get out of it. Yet it?s so gratifying to see a gorgeous basket of fruit on your kitchen counter, all colourful and brimming with life. Then to turn it into living juice means you?re squeezing all the vitamins into a glass and consuming it.
What is ?living juice??
Living juice is the term given to juices prepared in a slow RPM machine. Due to the ?cold press? method of juice extraction, no heat is applied to the produce, nor is it chopped or ?masticated?. The fruit or vegetable is simply extruded through a fine mesh, using either a set of twin stainless steel gears, or a single auger configuration, depending on which juicer you use. This method allows maximum extraction of juice, and additionally, optimum retention of nutrients and vitamins.
Other benefits of ?living juice? extractors
Well, not only are you getting the most ?bang for your buck?, as it were, but you?d also be very surprised at how attractive and quiet these appliances are. Most people are familiar with the ?crash, whirr, bang, crunch? of common juicers. Try surprising your partner in bed with a fresh apple and mango juice after that racket! Imagine, instead, processing your produce with a nicely humming piece of discreet machinery that won?t turn a hangover into homicide! Very civilised, indeed!
Multi-functional
Your toaster makes toast. Your kettle boils water. Your rice cooker boils rice. Your juicer? Well, can yours make spaghetti and fettuccine? Can yours turn peanuts into peanut butter in seconds? Can it make salsa in minutes? Can it give you 100% fat free, sugar free, cholesterol free, dairy free fruit sorbet? You really need to take a look at the multifunction juicers we have on offer.
But don?t forget ? your main priority every single day should be your health. If you can promote vitality and improve your diet daily with a simple glass of juice, why would you pop a pill?
