The Art of the Juicer

Juicer’s are a simple solution to a complex problem. How does one get the nutrients needed to sustain the human body? Juicing. Juicing allows you to reduce your daily caloric intake while flooding your body with necessary vitamins and minerals and without feeling hungry. There’s an art behind the whole process. The ingredients are the different paints and colors, the juicer the canvas, and the person behind the juicer the artist. What’s created is a nutritious extraction of art in liquid form. A juicer will extract the juice and remove the pulp from your produce. What you’re left with is all of the liquid from your veggies and fruit, and none of the pulp. More specifically, the juicer spins or squeezes your juice out of the produce pulp and the pulp is separated from the juice. Prep for juicing is seamless – all a juicer artist has to do is wash their produce and stick it in the canvas, or the juicer so to speak. Juicing is different from blending; a blender takes the whole veggies and fruit and pulverizes it into a thick drink. You get all of the liquid and the pulp from your produce. Both are extractors, but juicing gets straight to the source more accurately and truly zeroes in on the key nutrients. 

Breville, Cuisinart, Fusion, Hamilton Beach, Hurom, Jack LaLanne, and Omega are just some of the brands of juicers out on the market. These major brands offer centrifuge, masticating, and traditional citrus juice extractors. One really can’t go wrong with any of these brands. There are a range of options and prices out there, but you can spend as little as $25 or as much as $500. You essentially get out of it what you invest in it. The canvas is the most important part to the art because without it, the art cannot be made and conveyed. That being said, getting the juicer is the first step to a healthy living lifestyle that is fruitful for years and years to come.

Juicers are the tool one needs to re-inject balance into one’s life. By creating a juicing regimen, one is actively choosing ingredients that go straight into their body. The juicer is the most precise way of getting exactly what you need from your produce, be it fruits or vegetables. Juicing is also about hydration. When you drink juices that enrich your body with a high amount of liquid that is rich in vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, enzymes, anti-oxidants, it makes all the cells in one’s body content. Most importantly, barely any fiber exists from the extract of a juicer. One drinks the juices and there is very little effort by the body to utilize the vitamins/minerals immediately from the juices and distribute to the cells for nourishment and healing. With nearly 99% absorption, getting the most nutrients out of the vitamins and minerals is the goal of the juicer and it does just that. So whether its your average wheat grass, or your complex mix of vegetables and fruits, one thing is clear: for a juice artist to make his/her art, a juicer is required. Without it, you are an artist without a canvas. This is simply the art of the juicer.
