A juicer is a household machine that grinds fruits and vegetables and produces juices. Usually people are lazy to eat fruits and vegetables as it takes time and effort to bite and chew them. The goal of having a juicer is to make fruits and vegetables more palatable and easier to consume.
Juice has many benefits. First of all, the juice helps to increase the absorption rate of our digestive system. Our body can absorb more nutrients in juice compared to those in fruits and vegetables that we take by chewing in our mouths.
Second, it would increase the absorption rate of the dietary fibers contained in the juice. Dietary fibers are nutrients in fruits and vegetables. The dietary fibers in the juice are more refined and therefore easier for the body’s digestion system to absorb.
Third, the juice is alkaline in nature. Thus, it neutralizes the pH value of the blood and thus improves blood circulation.
Fourth, drinking juice can increase the frequency of urination and thus improve the detoxification of the body.
Fifthly, the juice improves bowel movement and thus improves detoxification of the body.
There are two main types of juicers available on the market.
The first type is called a centrifugal juicer. It works by turning fruits and vegetables to separate the juice from the pulp. You can grind a wide range of fruits and vegetables.
It is the most popular juicer today. Its use requires less preparation.
During the quick spin process, oxygen is added to the juice, causing oxidation of the nutrients. It also produces heat in the juice. As a result, the juice produced is of sub-standard quality and cannot be kept for a long time.
It cannot grind hard, leafy fruits and vegetables. Its noise level is high due to the high spinning process.
The second type is called a masticating juicer. It grinds slowly and does not produce heat. In this way the nutrients of fruits and vegetables can be preserved. Maintains enzymes and nutrients from fruits and vegetables.
It can produce juice from hard and leafy fruits and vegetables.
Its noise level is low due to slow grinding.
Compared with centrifugal juicer, it produces a larger volume of juice and a smaller volume of fruit and vegetable pulp.
There are a few factors to consider when you want to buy a juicer.
First and foremost is juice yield. A juicer that produces a higher volume of juice and a lower volume of pulp is a better juicer. Usually, the juice capacity of a juicer is related to the power of its motor. A more powerful motor can produce a higher juice production.
The second factor is preparation for juicing and cleaning. Juicing preparation includes cutting and slicing fruits and vegetables for grinding. Some juicers require very small slices to produce a higher yield, while others do not. A good juicer is easy to assemble and clean. The fewer the number of components, the easier it will be to assemble and clean after use. One can stop using a juicer if it is difficult to assemble and clean.
The third factor is the design of a juicer. A good juicer has a low noise level. A juicer with a high noise level can disturb your family and neighbors, especially when you use it early in the morning. To have a better grip on the table, it must have a non-slip base. Also, for convenience, it should have a built-in cable storage device.
The last factor is the after sales service. A good juicer must have excellent support from its manufacturer in terms of maintenance services. A juicer with a longer warranty period is a better juicer.
