As concerns about health and nutrition continue to rise, so has the custom of making fresh-squeezed juice at home. Juicing offers a convenient and healthy way to lose weight, stay fit and avoid artificial additives and preservatives. Homemade juices can include both fruits and vegetables. From apples and oranges to tomatoes and celery, the following article provides you with all the information you need on juicers, juicing and juices.

There are many different types of juicers to choose from, depending on the type of juice you prefer. No matter what style of juicer you prefer, avoid juicers that create a lot of heat when they run. Excess heat can ruin the valuable nutrients in the fruits and vegetables.

Juice is best consumed fresh. Trying to save juice for more than an hour or so will reduce the amount of active nutrients in the drink and let the drink settle too. Make your juice and drink it right away. If you want to save some for a family member who will be drinking it shortly that is fine, otherwise you will want to make it fresh for them later.

It is is better to use vegetables when you are juicing than fruits. Although the juices from a fruit are easier to ingest and go down easier, they also contain more sugar than vegetables do. Also, fruits are able to better cleanse than body when they are eaten in whole form.

Making healthy juice from vegetables is wonderful, however, do not go overboard with variety. Stick to using 2-3 vegetables in your juice blends and incorporate apple into the mix. You will minimize the amount of flavors you are trying to combine and the apple will add the right amount of sweet to the mix for extra enjoyment.

Homemade fruit juices, vegetable juices and mixed juices are nutritious, delicious and, best of all, completely natural. Juicing gives you the freedom to make your own unique blends, as well as all of your family's traditional favorites. As the above article has illustrated, juicing is limited only by your imagination.
