Buying a Fruit Juicer - Easy way to good Health
Monday, October 26th, 2009The easiest way for you to get one of your five servings of fruit and vegetables recommended each day is by drinking juice made from them. You may not realize it but one glass of freshly squeezed orange juice will improve your health and increase your energy levels as well. You can if you want purchase juice which has already been squeezed and packaged, but the best way is to actually buy one of the many good fruit juicers available and instead squeeze it yourself.
We know that fruit juice is good for us but too much of a good thing can also cause problems. There are certain fruits which contain high levels of sugar and if consumed in large quantities can prove detrimental to one’s health. For example if you are a diabetic these types of sugars are able to access the bloodstream a lot more quickly when consumed in juice form. This in turn results in the levels of blood sugar in the body increasing which can result in a diabetic attack taking place.
When it comes to buying fruit juicers as you will soon discover there are a number of different kinds to select from. The more simple types are the manual press or twin press or you can go for the centrifugal, centrifugal injection, masticating, single auger or dual cage auger one.
The type of juicers which most people tend to use and which have been around for the longest are the centrifugal models. These are very simple in design and will have both a shredder and strainer attachment and use centrifugal force to remove the juice from the pulp. Although the centrifugal injection model is similar in looks and the way it functions to the centrifugal model this one’s sides slant more and it is far easier to clean.
The other type of juicer which is now proving extremely popular is the masticating type. These instead of shredding the pulp chew it to extract the juice and you will discover that the juice made from this contains far less of the fruits pulp in it. Also they run at a lower speed than the centrifugal types so tend to make much less noise.
If you are thinking of purchasing a fruit juicer for the first time or to replace an old model you have there are a number of factors to be taken into consideration along with how much you can afford to spend. In this article we take a look at just what some of these factors need to be kept in mind when purchasing a fruit juicer.
1. The first thing to consider is how easy the juicer is to operate and clean. The more compact models tend to be very simple to use and with most models these days the juice holder is removable and can then be cleaned. Look for those models where the removable components can be placed in a dishwasher after use to be cleaned. 2. Although the branded models tend to cost more they are also the more reliable types of fruit juicers you can buy. Plus if any parts need to be replaced on them in the future getting them shouldn’t prove too much of a problem. 3. Finally you should look at what speed the juicer works and if you can go for those that have a very low speed as this will prevent too much oxidation taking place when the juice is being extracted. So what you are in fact getting is more juice than air in what you are going to be drinking.
Above we have looked at what kinds of fruit juicers are available for you to buy and the things to look for when purchasing one. Remember to keep the above mentioned factors in mind and you should find fruit juicers that not only provide you with plenty of fresh juice but which are affordable as well.
