Juicing

Maybe the improvement in your health was due to weight loss rather than juicing? Anything that juicing provides can be got from a balanced diet.
Juicing has been known to eradicate and even cure certain ailments believe it or not .......... it's the Medical Professions' best kept secret!!

You changed form an unhealthy diet to a healthier one. The juicing was just a part of that.
No such thing as detoxing by the way.
It is true to say that a juice only plan doesn't actually "detox" the body ......... the liver detoxes the body ........ a juice only plan allows the liver to do it's job properly and for the first time in years for a lot of people!

Really? I often eat big plates of veg for dinner. Much nicer than drinking juice all the time. But each to their own I guess.
Could you eat 4 carrots, a whole lemon, 2 green apples, a whole courgette, a whole cucumber, 1 kilo of spinach, 1 kilo of kale, 2 sticks of celery, a whole beetroot and bunch of coriander?? All raw ......... well I juice that and call it lunch!! 0 -

That is not a human meal - juiced or not. There is a reason we can't eat that much veg in one sitting --- because we are not supposed to0 -
Yes that documentary ........... try watching it yourself and forming your own opinion instead of relying on somebody else's opinion like a sheep 0 -

Exactly.It is true to say that a juice only plan doesn't actually "detox" the body ......... the liver detoxes the body ........ a juice only plan allows the liver to do it's job properly and for the first time in years for a lot of people!
The reason why I looked into juicing was my poor digestive health.
I believe if your digestion doesn't work it doesn't really matter how good your diet is. The body will be left with no nutrients. Liver health is so important. I think people are just overconfident of liver's ability. Yes it does the detoxification. But please remember the workload you are puting on that poor liver!!! There was my lifestyle choices, my trust in medical advice,aka pills to make it all better, and more pills because if it didn't work at first it would if taken for years!?!? But I had enough And in order to liquefy my thickened bile the green juices came to rescue.And it's true, they only gave way for my own body to take care of the problem. Gave it a chance!0 -

Or you could tell us why the points made in the link I provided are wrong?
Does it not bother you that most of their claims do not have any evidence to support them?
Do you think it is wise to blindly follow people who buy rather than earn their qualifications?0 -

I had severe stomach problems myself, was on medication for 8 years .......... I was also slightly over-weight, drank too much when I did drink, heavy smoker and ate whatever crap I wanted whenever I wanted ........ I asked my doctor for advice and he said "to use will power to give up smoking and lose weight, cut down on the drink if you can ......... it might help with your stomach problems too but you will be on your medication for the rest of your life."
I just thought "I can't go on forever feeling like ****!!" ......... I had tried several "well-balanced" diets, going to the gym, giving up smoking cold turkey etc. and none of it worked.
One day I came across this documentary called "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" and I laughed out loud saying to the wife "that's me!!"
But then I watched it .......... then I looked deeper into juicing ......... then I tried it!!
Within one week of juicing I stopped taking my medication and haven't taken/needed it since .........
Within 10 days I'd stopped smoking .......
Two years on I feel better than I did 20 years ago!!
I was just like the doubters on here ........ until I actually gave it a go 0 -

Yes. Very much my experience! The documentary only came to me this spring. That was after nearly 2 years of lifestyle changes. No fast food,only my own homecooked meals, I don't smoke, I drink only on christmas ;-)
But I just couldn't get of the nexium. Was 6years on it.Doctor's said I have oesophagus not closing. Ofcourse weight loss would help.but then again I had heartburn when I was my ideal weight.
So essentially it was the nexium not letting me of the nexium. Even if I was off it for the most of the time I would still go through 2, 3times a month of random hellish heartburn only nexium would ease.
And then when I started the juice it was like taken away in one week. So I haven't taken no pills this year for first in years.
Thanks to that documentary.
It gave me hope, and delivered!!!!0 -

No, I couldn't. Why on earth would I need that much food for lunch? And for the record I am a vegetarian and generally eat vegetables for lunch and dinner, but no need to have that much!0 -

That used to be a human's meal before we got lazy and corrupted our bodies ........ we're the only mammal on the planet that cook our food
Cooking food increases the availability of some nutrients.
We cook our food as we are top of the food chain. If a dog knew how to cook his food then he would
You would prob have felt just as good by giving up drink / smoking and eating healthier - juicing helped you do that do fair play but you would have achieved same results eating a balanced diet0 -

If you want to believe that blenders have magic powers that's up to you. I don't need to research how a spinning blade works.
Not a big fan of blending myself, juicing however is fantastic .......... of course juicers are not magical but I do believe (know) that the soluble fibre, protein and nutrition (ie the juice!) from fresh fruit and vegetables are quite powerful, call the physical effects it has on the human body magical if you wish 0 -

Heat actually kills the nutrients in most foods, there are of course some exceptions ........... broccoli and tomatoes, for example, are more nutritionally beneficial when cooked.
Gave up drinking and smoking before I juiced while maintaining a balanced diet and I felt good ............. however I felt great whilst juicing! 0 -

Are you saying it is not possible to meet your nutritional needs without blending/juicing? With just cooked and raw fruit and veg?0 -

Anyone else have any recommendations on good juicers please?? This thread is kinda gone off topic with debates..
Very true, the OP asked advice about juicers, have no idea why non-juicers feel the need to post here .........
Anyway there are basically three types of juicers .......... a masticating juicer, a fusion juicer and a centrifugal juicer.
The masticating juicer is a slow cold press juicer and requires you to cut up the fruit and veg before juicing .......... they provide the highest quality juice but are quite slow to use, difficult to clean and very expensive.
The centrifugal juicer is best for a beginner ............. they are extremely fast, easy to clean and cheaper than other juicers. I recommend the Philips range.
The fusion juicer is my personal preferred juicer ........... for speed, price and quality of juice it's somewhere between the masticaticating and centrifugal juicers, basically it's the best of both worlds.
It's worth noting than when it comes to juicers you do generally get what you pay for!0 -
