Different Types of Juicers: Which one is best for you?

So you decided to purchase a juicer, but how do you know which type of juicer is right for you? Let's take a look at the different kinds:

Manual Juicers:
According to justjuice.org, "As the name applies, manual juicers are operated by hand and require a little elbow grease." Manual juicers are relatively inexpensive and are ideal for juicing citrus fruits or wheatgrass. As a whole, manual juicers are limited to the range of fruits and veggies they can juice.

Benefits: Juices well, does not require electricity, less expensive than other juicers in the market, less cleaning time.

Centrifugal Juicers:
Traditionally, this is the most common type of juicer according to Kristen Aiken of Huffington Post Taste. "These typically utilize a fast spinning metal blade that spins against a mesh filter, separating juice from flesh via centrifugal force. The juice and pulp are then separated into different containers." Although centrifugal juicers are easy to use and clean, the nutrient retention for a centrifugal juicer is not all that great. Because it operates at such a fast speed and creates heat, much of the enzymes found in fruits and vegetables are lost.

Benefits: 

• Affordable and easy to use. Centrifugal juicers are great for beginners and people who are short on juicing time. 
• Easier to clean than electric juicers
• Great for juicing stringy, fibrous veggies (like celery)
• Takes in bigger chunks of fruits and vegetables than any other juicer types. 

Cold Press Juicers (Masticating Juicers)
While masticating juicers are relatively new to the juicing market, they are highly effective in their ability to break down hard, fibrous cell walls of fresh produce and produces a high juice yield and very little dry pulp. Because they don't produce much heat, they keep much of the valuable nutrients your body needs intact.

Benefits:

• Truly versatile: they can juice anything and everything including hard, fibrous vegetables such as celery as well as leafy greens like wheatgrass, and soft fruits like tomatoes. 
• Less waste. Masticating juicers produces a lot of juice and very dry pulp. This means that less of your produce is going to waste. 
• Diverse uses
• Low motor speed, which means that your juice is not being oxidized from the heat during the juicing process.

The Viatek Slow Juicer produces more juice and retains up to 60% more vitamins than ordinary juicers. It is designed with an augur mechanism that presses the juice, rather than grating or shredding the food. Because it operates at a low speed, vegetables and fruit retain more heat-sensitive vitamins like vitamin C. 

Most juicer extractors on the market today chop, shred, and strain; a method that generates low yield and wastes much of the valuable nutrients in food. The Total Juicer Pro is different, utilizing a masticating and pressing method of extraction, much like that employed by wine makers for thousands of years. Known as a "slow juicer" for its operation at only 80 RPMs and 150 watt power usage, the Viatek Total Juicer Pro actually releases more of the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and photonutrients than conventional juicers that rip and tear through foods at 10,000 RPMs and suck up to 1,500 watts of power. However, names can be deceiving as it actually juices more quickly than high speed models, eliminates oxidation and separation, and expels a dryer pulp for less waste. 

One look, one taste and the difference is deliciously recognizable! 

Additional Product Features:

Healthy: Works with any kind of fruit or vegetable

Versatile: Juices fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, wheat grass, nuts and soybeans. 

Dual Stage: crushes contents before pressing and ejecting pulp. 

No-clog design: Built-in rotary brush cleans as it juices and pulp is automatically separated.

Easy to clean: Rinse with warm water between juicing or take it apart for effortless cleaning.

Total Juicer Pro: The Benefits of Juicing

There's no denying that America is on a serious health kick. Whether its logging hours on the treadmill or filling grocery carts with leafy greens or vegetables, it appears that everyone is taking a stance on achieving optimal health by eating clean or juicing. Popular slogans such as "Eat Clean, Live Clean" are no longer personal mantras for the health savvy and conscious but the average Joe trying to lose the last ten pounds. And why not? The health benefits associated with eating clean and juicing are tremendous.

With that being said here are 5 things you need to know about juicing:

1. Aim to drink two glasses a day. Most people find that eating large quantities of vegetables is, at best, a bit of a chore and, at worst, screamingly boring, but the full, health-giving benefits can be easily accomplished by a quick glass of vegetable juice, aim to drink at least two.

2. Juice is not a smoothie! A juice is a drink made using a juice extractor which provides all the liquid without any of the fiber. A smoothie is made by mixing whole ingredients into a pulp into a blender. For a pint of juice, you'll use three times more vegetable than you would for smoothie, which means you're receiving three times more of the good stuff--the life-giving vitamins and minerals.

3. Juice your vegetables. Eat and/or blend your fruit. Fruit is sweet and if you remove the fiber, it becomes even more highly glycemic. Not good! You may find yourself suffering from mood-swings and increased cravings for sweet food like sugar and carbohydrates--those chocolate bars again!) Also it's already easy to eat 3-4 fruit a day-and delicious as well. So why bother? Its the juice of green vegetables from which you will benefit the most.

4. Why Greens? Chlorophyll is the magic ingredient. It's the pigment responsible for green color in plants. It enables them to "trap" energy from sunlight. Chlorophyll assists in red blood cell regeneration, enhancing the oxygenation process. It cleanses the digestive system, assists in purifying the blood, eliminates bacteria, disinfecting and detoxifying as it goes about its work. Oh, and it balances the body's acid-alkali levels. Chlorophyll is rich in zinc, selenium, vitamins E, C, and A, biotin, pantothenic and folic acids, calcium, chromium, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium. Not to mention iron.

5. What about protein? Your juice will provide some of the protein complex, but take a few nuts or seeds with your juice. They'll help you absorb it better, as well as making it a more complete food.

So how do you get started?
