An Orange Juicer for Enhanced Health Benefits
Juicing has become a popular first step in beginning to live a healthier lifestyle. Drinking freshly made juices on a daily basis can result in weight loss, increased energy, and an overall improved sense of well-being. Oranges are one of natures “super fruits,” providing high levels of Vitamins C and B6, beta carotene, calcium, and folic acid. It’s no surprise that many people interested in juicing for health will begin with orange juice. Oranger juicer are available in a wide range of prices and styles and many will work not just on oranges, but also on other fruits and vegetables as well.
No matter what style of juicer you choose, you will want one that is easy to clean. Consider not just the simplicity of assembly, but also make sure the removable pieces are dishwasher safe. You will end up drinking far less juice if you have to wash the machine by hand every time you use it.
Consider also the amount of noise created by the machine. If you prepare your daily juice before other members of your household are awake, the level of noise created by your juicer could quickly become controversial. This too could limit the amount of times you enjoy the fresh benefits of citrus beverages.
Evaluate the amount of air mixed into the liquid by the machine you choose. Oxidation occurs when fresh fruits are exposed to oxygen, turning them brown. The amount of oxygen whipped into juice as it is created has a huge bearing on how long it will stay fresh. The frothy juice created by some inexpensive juicers is ‘injected’ with oxygen and will immediately begin to break down. If consumed immediately, frothy juice is fine; but if stored in the refrigerator for any length of time, the oxidation will have significantly diminished its nutritional value. You don’t need to spend a lot of money to avoid oxidation. Using a manual orange juicer, for example, produces no froth.
Juicing is an easy, delicious, and inexpensive way to begin living a healthier lifestyle and having an effective, easy to use machine helps to make it a daily experience. Depending upon your level of expertise, you could opt for a commercial orange juicer or an automatic orange juicer. Be sure to read our article on masticating juicers.
