Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Is There Anything I Can Add to Make The Juice Taste Better? My favorite addition is coconut. You can purchase the whole coconut or use shredded coconut. They add a delightful flavor and are an excellent source of fat to balance the meal. The have medium chain triglycierides which have many health benefits. I have recently started juicing fresh cranberries and they have improved the taste immensely. Researchers have discovered that cranberries have five times the antioxidant content of broccoli, which means they may protect against cancer, stroke and heart disease. You can also add a small piece of lemon and fresh ginger if you can tolerate them. http://www.mercola.com/forms/juicing.htm _____________ Get the FREE email that has everyone talking at http://www.mail2world.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 AHHH, Juicing is wonderful, it has helped me rebound from serious surgery and illness. However, one must be aware that the soils our food is grown in today is majorly deficient. There are crops of carrots that have no beta carotene present, spinach grown in the 40's and 50's had over 50% more iron then in todays crops, there are crops of oranges being harvested that have not Vit. C in them. So while juicing is very important, it is equally important to know the source of your juicing materials, and even in knowing the source, how do we know the nutrients supposed to be there are really there?

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 I use to juice years ago consistently....I had lupus, actually still do, anyhow it helped me get through a toxic exposure to Diazon.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 I agree Francie, absolutely! Organics are always preferrable over any other, and of course there are tons of great supplements...but then one must also know the source of the supplements to insure good quality. You would think that health is a birthright and not a major marketing plan....ahhh...well anyhow, I do agree with what you have suggested here.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 My natural-health doctor advised me to use a juicer that provided very thin, low bulk, juice, as watery as possible; which allowed the body to absorb the nourishment from the juice, within a few minutes. If your juicer leaves a lot of fiber and bulk in your juice, it may taste good, and the bulky elements may have a value of their own, but it slows down the digestion of the juice tremendously. The special value of a juicer (I use the Acme) that makes a very thin, watery juice, is that it provides extremely high nutrient density, in a form that is absorbed and digested thoroughly by the body in a few minutes. - " Lu " <demi111 Monday, December 31, 2001 1:18 PM Re: juicing > I use to juice years ago consistently....I had lupus, actually still do, anyhow it helped me get through a toxic exposure to Diazon.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 I take it, that by " beetroot, " you mean the apple-shaped red-beet itself, which I often combine with carrot to make juice. Beet greens are also immensely nutritious. I often add them to salads. I may try juicing the greens, with some carrot juice to sweeten the flavor a bit. - <marianne2406 Monday, December 31, 2001 9:55 AM Re: juicing > In a message dated 31/12/01 16:37:32 GMT Standard Time, ron > writes: > > One of the best things to juice for guarding against heart disease is > beetroot although the taste is not brilliant it is very good for you.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 --- Francie, Good Evening! If one takes the time to research it, they will find that the Organic fruits and vegetables grown w/o pesticides are quite a bit more nutritious (more magnesium,etc.) Its the pesticides that tend to destroy the nutrient content of our foods. I've found some very interesting material on this over the years. With the addition of Genetic Engineering, we have sufficient reason to change. That is so true, the decreased mineral content of our soils is pathetically linked to dietary mineral deficiencies and thus a contributing factor to many major illnesses. It's a toss-up. Who knows really? The FDA? I'll bet on Organic every time. Did you know that the nutrients start to excape from an apple the second you core it? Oxidation, I've heard. For this reason I never buy half a watermelon.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Hi Joann, Okay, now on the lecithin that is a tricky one because it is hard to find an organic source. Now I have been able to find it in bulk on occassion here but not too often. What I have been told is that the company that puts out the nutrition supplement product line " NOW " is working toward the organic certificate and use only the highest grade available ingredients. I did notice several already had the organic label on them and others not...the reason it can't be done is due to the land having to be free for a total of three years before they can legally certify it , although something can be grown organic under these conditions but can't legally label it. Anyhow, I bought this the last time I got my lecithin and I am fairly pleased with it so far. Although the color is a bit brighter than the actual organic bulk I have found. You may want to check your whole food sources/co-ops in your area and look at the lecithin...it should be a really pale beige color. For now I'm using the NOW product as they looked to me the second best to any I found. You can check out the Now source at www.nowfoods.com I have no affiliation with this company, I just got the website off the label and from what I was told by the health store it looks like the website has some good things to say about their product. So I'm glad the fella didn't lie to me...teehehehe... Hope this helps.

I've heard it compared to free radical damage? Then there's my own little garden. I'm not sure that even the nutrient content in it's soil is sufficient. Since we have experienced so many and varied health challenges that colloidal minerals and isotonic supplementation have been improving on, I am tending to think that even eating straight from my home garden is not sufficient anymore. francie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They grow fast, so they were ahead of my turnips, mustard, and kale. I thought of eating these radish tops just like other greens. They were large and healthy looking. I did try a bite or two, raw, and they were very bitter. I even called a local " vegetable scientist " at the nearby research center. He could not tell me they were safe to eat. Any ideas?

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 I occasionally put a tiny amount of radish greens in a salad, but, they are very strong tasting and a bit too bitter for my liking. The sprouts are also very nutritious; you may like them better than the greens. Radish is extremely easy to grow, and there are numerous varieties, some of which may be a lot sweeter than others, but I haven't run into many varieties. My doctor always advised people to go out of their way to maximize the variety of raw greens and other vegetables in a salad, to make these salads large, and to eat 2 such salads a day, if possible. He even prescribed the eating of a couple of leaves of lettuce as part of your breakfast. - " Wayne Fugitt " <wayne Monday, December 31, 2001 7:58 PM Re: juicing > Evening John, > > At 04:15 PM 12/31/2001 -0800, you wrote: > >I take it, that by " beetroot, " you mean the apple-shaped red-beet itself, > >which I often combine with carrot to make juice.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 I am curious. Why does it matter if the good stuff in the juice is absorbed into the body all at once (watery juice) or slowly over the time it takes a fibrous juice to get thru the small intestine?

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 I have found that the granules from Lewis Labs have the best flavor & dissolve most readily when mixing with fruits or veggies in my blender.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Hi Alobar, My guess is that once the juicer/blender has broken down the plant the juices would be readily absorbed in the stomach and the pulp " goes down and 'round whoa whoa whoa and it.... " you probably know the words to the old song. You got up early today. You are the first email in the new year. Hope you and everyone has a healthy one.
