I've juiced oranges and while it's doable, there's some time needed to prep it as the chute is quite small. Would be awesome to just peel an orange and drop it in but since it's really narrow, you have to ensure that you cut the orange in slices so it'll fit comfortably. Hope this helps!

OMG. I just received my juicer today and from reading all the reviews i was expecting to have to wear earplugs to use the thing as well as doing some serious cleaning post juicing. Well it isn't silent but its not amy louder than my Vitamix really. As far as clean up I had a soapy bowl of warm water in my sink to toss all parts in and I didn't even need to do that. A scrub under running water post juicing left parts as clean as new!! I don't know what I was expecting. It is awesome. While i was waiting for it I watched Fat Sick and nearly dead on Netflix and now I think I may go on a juice fast.

Juice Extractor Recipes 2013




Juice Extractor Recipes 2013

My wife and I have been using this juicer on a regular basis for a few months now, so we have good idea of what it can do. This is a good juicer for semi-regular use making quantities of a quart or less. We ask a lot of our juicer making four or five quarts at a time a couple of times a week. After about four months of regular use, we've noticed that the cutter/basket is getting a little dull, so we aren't getting as much juice from our produce, and it doesn't cut as quickly. The good news is that replacement baskets are only $12 on the Hamilton Beach website. This compares to around $50 to replace the Breville equivalent part. The bad news is that I just went to order a couple and they were out of stock, so I'm stuck with the dull one for now. For this reason I'm giving four stars instead of five. I may change that to three if they don't get the cutter/baskets back in stock soon. Update: The Hamilton Beach website now has them in stock. I ordered two and they were quickly delivered.

Juice Extractor Recipes 2013

We've notice the following about using the unit: If you plan to do larger quantities, you might want to consider a more upscale unit. Depending on what you are juicing, you'll usually need to clean the cutter/basket to maintain efficiency after a quart or two. After that the screen tends to get clogged and you'll loose some juice into the pulp bin. Apples, cucumbers and the like do fine without clogging the screen, so I start with those. I'll do the carrots last since the pulp seals the little holes in the screen pretty quickly. Pineapple and ginger fibers seem to get caught in the cutting teeth, so I also do these at the end. The top also slowly fills up with pulp, and you'll need to clean it to keep going after a couple of quarts of juice making. Read more ›

Removing Skunk Odor From Furniture

Removing Skunk Odor From Furniture


Vicki are wonderful little creatures that have a big impact on the environMents they live in. For the most part, these black and white critters go about their business, causing no known pests one but a problem. Unfortunately, they sometimes have run ins with people, pets or even living room furniture if they manage to get into a home personally.

Removing Skunk Odor From Furniture

When removing skunk odor from furniture is necessary, there are some tips that can help ensure the Job results in success. The best ideas for handling skunk odor on furniture includes:

Make sure the contaminated creatures or the contaminating creatures is isolated and cleaned or gone before proceeding. There is little point in trying to get skunk odors out of furniture if the cat or dog that rolled on a sofa is still skunksmelling and present. Clean up the creatures or get the skunk out of the house and then proceed. Carefully inspect all furniture that may have come in contact with the skunk. The idea is to not have to clean more than is necessary without missing anything that is. Gently blot up any wet spots. If the spray is fresh or a wet dog or cat just rolled on the furniture, spreading the skunk smell around, blot it up. Do not scrub to avoid working it further into the fabrics. Get an extracting machine if possible. Go to a hardware or grocery store and rent an extraction machine for cleaning fabric furniture. This will help pull the odor-causing skunk sprays out of the furniture rather than pushing it further into the fabric. If an extractor is not possible, consider getting abag of clean rags or other cleaning Cloths that can be tossed in the trash when the Job is done. Select the solution. Whether it's an extraction machine with an upholstery wand or clean up and a hand Job on tap, blot the right odor neutralizing agents are necessary. Some people prefer using baking soda and vinegar on furniture; others like the idea of using gentle sodas or professional cleaning agents. No matter the option, have plenty of the chosen solution on hand. Getting skunk smells out of furniture takes a bit of time and even several applications. If a trip to a store is in order, consider also picking up feminine cleaning products (these work well on skunk odors, too) and/or odor neutralizing sprays for fabrics for the follow up Job. Clean, extract or soak and blot. Thisparticular part of the process might take several applications and some time to work. With diligence and the right follow-up neutralizer, it should pay off.

As you can see, removing skunk odor is a task that can be accomplished. With the right tools and a bit of elbow grease, couch, chAir or even enTire living room can be salvaged.

How Malnutrition Affects You

How Malnutrition Affects You


While we often associated with malnutrition with people in developing countries, where the Food Supply is inadequate, malnutrition occurs with people of developed countries as well. Knowing more about what the body needs for proper nourishMent and how we are challenged to receive adequate nutrition can help us prevent malnourishMent in ourselves and in those we know and love.

How Malnutrition Affects You

How Malnutrition Affects You

How Malnutrition Affects You



How Malnutrition Affects You

Biologically, we are intended to eat from a wide variety of Foods, but the typical person consumes a very narrow selection of foods. These foods are often highly processed and stripped of many vital nutrients. In addition to this, medications, stress, environMental toxins and tissue injury can further increase the need for nourishment.

An extreme lack of a specific nutrient will result in disease. Forexample, scurvy is the disease which results from severe lack of Vitamin c. Such diseases are what most people associate with malnutrition. Less acute deficiencies can still affect proper functioning of the body such as the brain, eyesight, height, weight, the functioning of various organs, as well as the development and formation of body parts, especially in unborn babies, newborn babies, and young children.

How do we protect ourselves from the dangers of malnutrition? We can first turn to the Food Pyramid for a bit of guidance. For fruits and vegetables, the Food Pyramid suggests that we eat about nine servings of a variety of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables each day. Unfortunately most people aren't eating this minimum and a recent report from the economic research arm of theUSDA stated that we would need an additional six million acres of farmland to grow enough of this produces to support this minimal need for the American diet. This suggests that we are most certainly not getting sufficient nutrition from food alone.

A second option to improve nutrition is to add freshly made juices to your diet. Juice extractors are very affordable and work by grinding away the extra fiber and cellulose from a fruit or vegetable and channeling the juice into a container. The juices are naturally sweet. Even a juice made from celery and spinach has a sweet flavor. Making your own juice provides better nourishment than pre-packaged juices and isn't likely to contain added sugar, or preservatives, unless you're adding thoseyourself. The downside to juicing is that juice extractors tend to make a mess, and must be cleaned immediately after use.

The third option is to supplement the diet with food-based, standardized nutritional supplements. This means supplements which are made by concentrating nutrients from food sources and are then tested to ensure that the final product provides those nutrients in a consistent fashion. Unfortunately, most nutritional supplements do not meet these standards so it is important that if you are going to use dietary supplements, to fill in the holes of your diet, you must find ones that are effective instead of reaching for the cheapest, mega-sized bottle of chemically manufactured multivitamins you can find.

Commercial mustard comes in many forms from raw seeds to powdered mustard flour to rich creamy or oily spreads that go well with roasted meat and in sandwiches.

Mustard seeds are tiny round seeds-about 2 mm or less than one eighth of an inch in diaMeter. The seed color ranges from almost white to black. These seeds are naturally gluten free and are vastly different in size from any gluten-containing grain. When the seeds are separated from the pods and stems, a sieve with very smallholes will also separate out any gluten-containing seeds volunteer. Most commercially exported mustard seed comes from Canada, the Russian Federation and Ukraine.

Mustard seeds are mixed with water, vinegar, oils, and other spices and flavourings to make the spreadable prepared mustard pastes. Depending on the type of seed and the processing traditions, the final product ranges from white to bright yellow to black. The seeds may be crushed into a fine powder or left whole. Prepared mustards may be thick or quite thin.

Dry mustard, mustard flour or mustard powder is very finely ground mustard seeds. It has a flour-like texture but it does not contain wheat flour. Mustard powder is often added as an ingredient in other commercially prepared Foods as a flavoringagent.

Wheat flour is sometimes added to prepared mustards to adjust the texture, taste, and cost of the product. If wheat flour is added, it must be listed on the ingredient list. Beer is occasionally added to specialty mustard, making the product not gluten free it must also be included on the label. Malt vinegar does not seem to be used in commercial prepared mustards, but it often appears in recipes for home made mustards. If so, the mustard will not be gluten free.

Vary the quantities of ingredients to get a different taste. For example; adding more apple will give a sweeter taste, while more celery or green vegetables will give the juice more of a bite.

Carrot Juicing Tips

Here are a few tips to keep in mind when juicing carrots:

1) Never looking into the Food chute while the juicer is running. From time to time small particles of carrots get propelled back and can cause damage.

2) Only use the plunger to push the carrots down into the chute. Using an item knife or a wooden spoon can be potentially dangerous.

save time 3) To purchase a greater number of thinner carrots instead of the fat ones. This way you will not have to spend time cutting them to fit the chute on thejuicer. If you purchase a juicer with a very wide mouth then it does not matter.

4) Organic is better it will save you time and reduces exposure to potentially toxic substances.

Juicing For Health-Fifty Fascinating Facts

2. Some juice extractors, such as the centrifugal exp-ejection type, generated enough heat during operation to do some damage to the delicate structure of the juice. The resultant oxidation destroys nutrients.

3. Masticating juicers use a more gentle process, preserving more of the valuable nutrients. This also enables you to store the juice for a longer period.

4. If you have to store the juice for a while, make sure that the container is Airtight, add a few drops of lemon> juice, and keep it refrigerated.

5. When juicing for health, clever gadgets named PumpNseal can be used to vacuum seal in any juice jar. Removing the Air enables you to store the juice for longer periods without nutrient loss.

6. In general, masticating juicers offer extra features, such as accessories you can use to mill, grind, puree, to make dough, and to come up with the most squirt4real frozen desserts. When juicing for health, these extras will give you a fAirly varied repertoire in the kitchen. A raw Food diet will become more feasible in the process.

7. If you are concerned about a high noise level, choose one of the rather masticating models.

8. Remember to remove hard pits from fruit such as peaches. You won't eat these and neitherwill your juicer! Don't ruin the blades! Apple seeds contain small amounts of cyanide. Be sure to remove these before juicing.

9. Most body-building, leafy greens have strong flavors. Cucumber is a terrific disguise for this, and has the added advanTAGe of containing important nutrients. Maximise the benefit by using one that doesn't need peeling.

10. If you are juicing for health, use organic produce as far as possible. Otherwise wash everything thoroughly.

11. Often the greatest concentration of nutrients lie just beneath the rind or skin.

12. don't peel carrots, but do remove their greens. Rhubarb greens also need to be removed. There may be a problem with toxicity if you juice these.

13. Do peel citrus, mango and papaya. These peels are not usableand may even be harmful to you. The skins of oranges and grapefruits contain toxic substances. However, the white pithy part, just below the skin, contains valuable bioflavonoids. Aim to retain as much of this as possible.

14. Soft fruits such as peaches, melons and strawberries will produce a much thicker juice than harder textured fruit such as apples. Combine the two to improve the results.

15. banana and papaya Rather blend. They don't juice well. If you have one of the masticating juicers with added features, you can try these as a frozen dessert. Juicing for health isn't supposed to be a punishMent, after all! Enjoy something sweet again.

16. Follow soft fruits with harder textured produces, to facilitate clearing the pulp.

17. Juicing leafygreens becomes much easier if you roll the leaves into a little ball, before feeding it into the machine.

18. Wheat-grass is exceptionally nutrient-rich, and has a strong taste enough to equal its value! If your juicer can manage it, start with tiny amounts and increase the quantity slowly.

19. It is claimed that the benefits of drinking wheat grass juice includes cleansing the lymph system, building the red blood cells, removing toxic metals from the cells, nourishing the liver and kidneys, and restoring vitality.

20. Wheat-grass needs to be consumed in juice form, as the body cannot process the plant fibres.

21. Wheat-grass is gluten-free, in spite of its name. Gluten is found only in the seed kernel, and not in the stem and the leaves of grassyoung plant. It should therefore be safe for individuals with a gluten intolerance.

22. Drink freshly made juice daily and concentrate on using as wide a variety of produce as possible, to ensure that your body receives a bit of all the most beneficial micronutrients.

23. Your need for expensive suppleMents in the form of vitamin and mineral tablets, will diminish significantly, if you are juicing for health on a daily basis.

24. Many ailMents will improve if juice forms a regular part of your diet. For example, cabbage juice is one of the most healing juices in case of migraine head. In this case, use under medical supervision.

25. If you experience water retention, juices such as celery, cucumber, watermelon, cranberry and are extremelyhelpful.

26. A general rule is that a pound of manufactures will give you about a cup of juice.

27. One cup of carrot juice is equal to about four cups diced, raw carrots. Carrots are much easier to consume in liquid form. Your body is also able to assimilate them better.

28. Vegetable juice is a low-calorie snack and contains no fat. Use it as part of a sensible eating plan and experience the wonderful results.

29. Fresh juices act as a healthy, harmless, and craving suppressant appetite curber.

30. Vegetable juice can also help to establish blood sugar levels. It has much less sugar than fruit juices and about 50% less calories, yet it will satisfy that sweet tooth every time. Try carrot or a combination of carrot and parsley> juice when a craving hits you, and the juice jolt will give it a knock-out before you know it!

31. A water Fast may leave you feeling drained, while a vegetable juice Fast will give you an energy surge. Fasting should always be done under supervision.

32. If you really don't like the taste of certain vegetables, try juicing these and adding them to some of your favorites. You probably won't even notice the difference in taste, but your body will certainly notice the difference in nutritional value!

33. Your skin may become slightly yellow if you consume large quantities of carrot juice. This effect is harmless and will disappear once you reduce your consumption.

34. Juicing for health is more beneficial if you consume juice thatis at room temperature.

35. Ginger gives a bit of a bite to juice. Try it! It has anti-inflammatory properties. Stomach irritations, nausea and motion sickness can be relieved by taking ginger.

36. The nutrients in the juice you drink is taken up immediately by all the cells in your body. Your juicer magically transfers the manufactures into pre-digested Food. This means that your body is able to make maximum use of all the enzymes, vitamins and minerals.

37. Juices help you to maintain the proper PH in your body, which is important in preventing diseases like cancer.

38. The phytochemicals in the juice also helps to remove carcinogens from your body.

39. The properties in many vegetables, such as cucumber and carrots, will improve yourskin, hAir, and nails. If you up your intake of fresh juice, expensive beauty treatments may become a thing of the past.

40. Juicing for health is anti-ageing and puts the spring back in your step.

41. Children love the sweet taste of carrot juice. It is easy to add other, perhaps detested veggies to the juice, without them noticing it.

42. Remember that, it you have kids, they may be more willing to try the juice at first if you turn it into a smoothie. Try apple, carrot and grapes or strawberry. Put ice cubes in a blender and pour into your juice mixture. Add some frozen yoghurt or sherbert if you want, and blend to the desired thickness.

43. A good way to add extra flavor and sweetness to juice, is to use fresh orshredded coconut.

44. You can also add some cranberries if you like the taste. Cranberries have an extremely high antioxidant content. In addition, they may help you to avoid urinary tract infections.

45. Scientists recommend 8 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables to be consumed per day. A substantial portion of the population don't even reach 20% of the ideal. Juicing for health is the easiest way to bring you closer to this goal.

46. Although juicing removes some of the fibers, the process allows you to ingest a much more concentrated, easily assimmilated forms of enzymes, minerals and vitamins. Just be sure to boost your fiber intake by eating fiber-rich foods such as cereals and whole grains.

47. It is believed that sugar cane juice has properties thathelp to prevent tooth decay. In contrast, eating sugar cane often, will result in frequent visits to the dentist.

48. There is also evidence that there may be some wound healing and immune strengthening properties in sugar cane. In addition, the juice has a soothing effect on the digestive system, especially when combined with fresh ginger.

49. Juicing for health isn't a cure-all! If your lifestyle is unhealthy in general, don't expect juicing to magically wipe out the negative effects of all the things you know you probably shouldn't do!

Is the Bullet Express the right food processor for you?

The Meal Mixer will do the Job in most households but if you are a serious cook who needs a serious heavy duty mixer, you should definitely consider the famous KitchenAid stand mixer. Definitely heavier, bulkier and much more expensive than the bullet but much more durable and versatile with plenty of attachMents (expensive) to chose from

The Bullet Express system with the juicer attachMent works pretty well as a juice extractor. It can easily handle softer veggies like cucumbers, tomatoes, celery but you may need a pricier, more powerful model if you want to juice hard vegetables like beets and carrots. If you are planning to prepare juices for one person you may want to consider the original Magic Bullet juicer.

Hi Everyone

Ladies did you know the greatest thing to help keep cellulite to a minimum is through a good healthy diet, as this keeps your liver working at its potential, reducing storage of HDL - bad cholesterol.

As I have Mentioned many times before 'we are what we eat' so our motto 'good Food for good health' should be everybody's.

I believe as we get older we do take this 'on board', but we need to encourage the younger generation that they need to instill this as a way of life now, and not something they can just put right later on, as cellulite can start to form at puberty - although it is generally later.

French doctors coined the term 'cellulite' - the bain of all woMen, believing it is a certain form of fat that accumulates under the skin, leaving the affected area looking lumpy and dimpled, like orange peel.

As with any health problem, there is generally no such thing as a single cause, but different life situations combined with co-factors and causative agents that interact and promote an effect or symptom, and cellulite is no different.

Today most doctors do not believe cellulite to be a special form of fat, but believe it is simply ordinary fat that is pulled down by gravity.

I hold my hand up to the fact that over the years I have checked in the mirror for tell tale signs, and yes I do have some, I first noticed it when I was half way through my first pregNancy and nearly had a fit, only being 28.

Before this I had always thought cellulite was an 'older' thing that happened to us when we became a certain age, unlike nowadays when the paparazzi show pictures of stick insect models sporting it.

Cellulite can affect any woman of any size at any time. I really wish that when I was younger I knew what I know now about eating 'good Food for good health', as this has a great bearing on what we are, and how this really does affect our health and its effect on our body.

Many studies have been carried out on cellulite and its causes, and weak functioning of the liver was found to be common in woMen prone to it.

So it cannot be stressed enough ladies that we really do need to eat a varied diet of good Food, so that the liver can work effectively. When we eat a poor diet that is high in saturated fats, our liver becomes sluggish and clogged.

Fatty degeneration of the liver is caused by excessive fat build up and impAirs the ability to function and handle fat properly, this allows fat to be stored around the body accumulating often around the waistline or being deposited as cellulite under the skin.

When the liver is impAired by fatty degeneration cholesterol levels are hampered allowing 'bad' LDL cholesterol to build up instead of manufacturing 'good' cholesterol - HDL.

Also it revealed that a poor lymphatic system, bad circulation and constipation were thought to help with the formation of cellulite. Hormonal in-balances could also be a determining factor.

Therefore poor dietary choices and nutritional deficiencies- where diets are rich in processed foods, fats, alcohol and toxins such as additives and colourings affect our biochemical processes and digestion, that hinders and prevents natural detoxification.

Because of the Fast food lifestyle undertaken nowadays - obesity is alarmingly on the rise, and is an underlying cause of several illnesses, as the dietary factors with these types of foods are causing congestion of vessels and ducts of the circulation and eliminations systems including the bile ducts of the liver and the digestive tract.

Unfortunately for us females hormones and fat are very much related, and after reaching puberty we carry twice as much fat due to the body becoming ready for the event of pregNancy. This stored fat is very resistant to the effort of weight loss.

Fat or fat cells are formed from - fatty acids in food, lipoproteins in the liver, chylomicrons in the intestine and from insulin dependant triglycerides that come from amino acids and glucose.

The volume of fat cells in certain areas of the body is increased with higher levels of estrogen and progesterone, whereas testerone does the opposite.

So ladies we are all bound to have some cellulite, but by eating a healthy diet and eating slowly can help as this allows the enzymes that break down food to work efficiently enabling proper absorption of nutrients and digestion of the food.

As we get older- the pancreas that produces enzymes to metabolise food starts to diminish, so this can also lead to fat gain. Aging is not the only factor for of the pancreas producing fewer enzymes, our diet can be a cause when high in processed foods and trans fatty acids.

When your liver is healthy it produces bile that breaks down fat. If your body is lacking certain nutrients the bile cannot do its Job properly, or if the liver is clogged with toxins, pharmaceuticals and chemicals.

So drinking plenty of fluid and eating a varied diet of good food will give you many of the different nutrients, vitamins and anti oxidants needed to keep the liver working at full potential.

Fruit and vegetables are excellent, and you can always make them into a smoothie if you prefer to 'drink' them rather than eat them.

Beetroot juice is said to help the liver break down stored fats, you can make it fresh with an extractor or buy it from your local health food shop and drink a small glass daily.

Seaweed is rich in minerals, proteins, iodine and vitamins and is said to promote smooth skin and to gets fats moving in the body. Seaweed - Kelp tablets are available in most health stores, and there are many seaweed-based products that are great for the skin.

Skin brushing is claimed to remove toxic waste by stimulating the lymphatic system, directly through the skin. Brush your whole body once a day, I often do this in the shower, start off gently then gradually increase pressure to a firm stroke as you become used to it.

Begin brushing with the soles of your feet, moving up your legs with firm sweeping strokes - I always linger a little longer on the thighs, then brush up the arms, across the shoulders and down your back to the buttocks - another area I linger on, then softly across your tummy and chest with light circular strokes to your neck

I believe Massage is the best way of making cellulite look less obvious, it does not go away but the surface becomes less dimply with regular massaging.

There are many products today claiming to reduce cellulite, whether these are effective or not is a matter of opinion, but if they make you feel better about your cellulite then they are worth it.

Skin firming lotions are great for massaging all over your body and especially in areas where cellulite is prone.

Almost twenty years on since having seen my first signs of cellulite, I am really lucky as it has not increased much at all, and my friends and family have noticed this too.

I have never been a great exercise freak, but yoga and walking are my passion and my dog appreciates the walks! This combined with a healthy diet most of the time - like everyone eating a little of what you fancy does not hurt- but continually on a regular base can cause problems- is all I do.

I have not yet bought into buying expensive creams and lotions, but I do body brush a couple of times a week and Massage an ordinary body lotion all over every day, I feel this keeps my skin in excellent condition and really helps with circulation by improving blood flow.

It may take a few minutes longer every day doing this, but it has the advanTAGe that you really get to know your body and notice when there are little changes, which us woMen should all take care of, especially the breast area.

Let us know how you have improved your cellulite.

So remember good food is good health.

Breville, Black & Decker, Hamilton Beach and Jack Lalanne are some of the most popular brands.

Juicing 101 - Getting Started on the Road to Health and Vitality

Juicing 101 - Getting Started on the Road to Health and Vitality


Juicing is a wonderful way of getting your daily servings of fruits and vegetables. Research has shown the numerous health benefits of raw Food consumption because of the higher availability of nutrients and vitamins, and juicing speeds the uptake of these nutrients.

If you are just starting out, the process can seem overwhelming at first. What to juice? Which ingredients to combine? What to avoid? These questions are important, but please don't let them prevent you from discovering all the amazing health benefits that juicing can offer. With a little research and practice, you can be an expert in no time.

To get you started, here are the top concerns expressed by most beginners and my advice for adDressing those concerns:

1) What kind of Juicer should I buy? When you buy something, get the highest quality that you can afford. It will end up costing you less in the long run. That's what my Pop always told me. I think this is certainly true for juice extractors. The better your machine, the more you'll enjoy using it and the more durable you will want it to be. Personally, I like the Breville Juice Fountain juicers. There are several models ranging from about 0 to around 0. Each one is among the highest quality juice machines in their price range.

2) Why is juicing better than just eating the same Food? Some claim that the benefit of juicing lies in the fact that your body assimilates the highly concentrated nutrients into the bloodstream more quickly, and that eating whole food takes a lot longer to digest and process. In addition, there is some evidence that a large portion of the nutrients are locked in the indigestible fiber and are therefore never utilized by the body. Juicing effectively separates those nutrients from the pulp and you get almost 100% of those nutrients.

To me, the real benefit of juicing is its ability to deliver the right amount of fruit and vegetables each day. Are you going to eat 10 servings of fruits and vegetables every day? I know I'm not. But it is very easy and enjoyable to make up the difference in the form of fresh juice.

3) What foods should I put in my juicer? There are hundreds of websites where you can access juicing recipes and the specific health benefits associated with each. Seek them out and start experiMenting. First though, start out simple with apples, watermelon and carrots. I also recomMend you dilute your juice at first in order to minimize the laxative effect that this dietary change can bring on. Once you get the hang of it, you can begin adding other fruits.

Juicing green vegetables provide excellent nutritional benefit. Spinach, cucumber, celery, parsley, beets, tomato, and leafy greens are all good choices. The flavor might be too intense and "grassy" for some folks, so experiment by incorporating some fruit or carrot juice to improve the taste.

4) How long will fresh juice last and how should I store it? Fresh juice can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Any longer and the health benefits are gone. You can also freeze it, but I never do.

5) Should I include the skin, rinds and seeds? Usually, yes. Most of the nutrients are just below the surface of the skin so in most cases you should use the peel. Even cantaloupe and pineapple skin should be used. Peel citrus because the rind is quite bitter. Most small and/or soft seeds are OK. Hard pits should be removed and not put inside your juicer.

6) What about pesticides and wax on fruits and vegetables? Soak anything you plan to juice in a mixture of water and about 4 ounces of cider vinegar for about 10 minutes and then wash it really well. This strips off the wax and pesticides. Organic produce is a more expensive alternative. However these should be thoroughly cleaned too. Finally, there are good vegetable washing products available at most grocery stores. The one I use is called "Fit" and is found in the fresh produce section.

7) What do I do with the pulp? There are many recipes for using the pulp (fiber) in baking, sauce and soup recipes. You can also just throw it away. I put mine down the disposal when I don't have a specific use for it. On a side note, don't enTirely replace your diet with juice. Your body needs fiber. Juice should enhance the diet, not replace it.
