12 Ways Cold Press Juicing Supercharges Nutrition

Image2

Juice – The Nutrient Powerhouse

  1. Juicing Serves Concentrated Nutrition – the recommended target of six to eight servings of vegetables a day is often hard to achieve. One or two glasses of delicious, fresh juice helps you reach or exceed this target with ease.
  2. Juicing Aids Nutrient Absorption – a fresh juice pre-digests nutrition for instant, optimal absorption, with minimal stress on your digestive system.
  3. Juicing Provides Variety – juicing easily incorporates all fruits and vegetables into your diet including vital green vegetables and health boosting extras like ginger, garlic and turmeric root.
  4. Cold Press Juicing Provides Constant Access to Nutrition – Slow juicing preserves the integrity of your juice. Make a large batch and drink over 72 hours with little loss of nutrition. High speed juicers cause heating, foaming and separating of juice which must be drunk immediately.
  5. Juicing Supplies Raw Food Power – Juice sprouts, herbs, greens and fruits including valuable skins and seeds and gain the benefit of hundreds of extra phyto and micro-nutrients that often lost in food preparation.
  6. Juicing Allows Controlled Intake – if you juice fresh, organic ingredients you avoid the chemicals, sugar, additives, preservatives, processing and aged goods on supermarket shelves.
  7. Juicing Aids Microbiome Health – juicing assists the proliferation of good intestinal bacteria and inhibits bad. It is becoming recognised that the health of gut flora (or microbiome – also know as the second brain) is the powerhouse that supplies nutrition to the whole body.
  8. Juicing Contains Soluble Fiber – this acts as a prebiotic to support good bacterial growth and digestive health.
  9. Rainbow Nutrition Red and Pink Juices:
    – bell peppers, tomatoes, cherries, cranberries, raspberries, rhubarb, pomegranates & beets are rich in lycopene, a compound shown by studies to have cancer-fighting properties, lowers blood pressure & reduces cholesterol.
    – hot peppers and cayenne pepper contain capsaicin a substance that helps protect DNA from damage and is known as an effective treatment for muscle and joint pain including arthritis
    – beet juice has an antioxidant called betaine that helps prevent the formation of cancerous tumors and appears to be effective against colon and stomach cancer.
  10. Rainbow Nutrition Green Juices:
    – highly nutritious vegetables in this color category include avocados, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, green cabbage, green onions, green peppers, leeks, collard greens, mustard greens, swiss chard, watercress.
    – greens contain high levels of chlorophyl, magnesium, calcium, folate, vitamin C and beta carotenes. Chlorophyll protects against cancer and certain forms of radiation, kills germs and is a powerful wound healer.
    – leafy greens such as spinach and broccoli are high in folate.
    celery contains called phthalide known to help lower LDL cholesterol for improved heart health.
    – cucumber assists waste removal from cells, the dissolution of kidney stones and skin health. Assists cell hydration.

Torus Solo Horizontal Cold Press Juicer

Industry Praise for Torus Juicers

For me, Torus are the leaders in the juicing world, and have made a range of juicers reflective of their standing.

I’ve been juicing since 2006 and have used an array of cold-pressed juicers over that period of time. Some are deathly slow, whilst others are too quick, leaving more pulp and less juice. The Torus 5500 extracts more juice than any other cold-pressed slow juicer that I’ve seen in my time. Evidenced by dry pulp and minimal waste, the measuring device on the jug is proof enough that the Torus is not just highly efficient and world class in nutrient delivery, but remarkable value for money.

As a bonus the Torus 500 is easy to assemble, easy to clean, very compact to pack away (and therefore travel with), and in most cases juices by itself. The tamper is rarely required, and unlike most slow juicers, there’s plenty of space to feed fruits and vegetables of any shape and size. Cutting and prep time pre-juicing is at a minimum with the Torus 5500.

As a parent to three children, enjoyment and safety are also paramount. Some juicers are downright dangerous. The Torus 5500 is the safest juicer I’ve seen on the market, with absolutely no chance of a finger injury. Not only that, the Torus has reawakened our kids love of juicing again, with the easy feed through and efficiency a delight for children to use.

The health and wellness industry is rife with fads in all shapes and sizes. One component of wellness that is undisputed and recorded through centuries is juicing. If you’re going to give yourself the gift of exceptional physical health through juicing, you’re wise to do it properly. For me, Torus are the leaders in the juicing world, and have made a range of juicers reflective of their standing.

 A recent study of vitally important microbiome (gut flora) shows that juice fasting encourages the balance of microflora. 95% of the body’s DNA is derived from this bacteria. It is becoming clear that the balance of your bowel is extremely important. For example, Firmicutes bacteria are suspected to be encouraging obesity and weight gain. Conversely, Bacteroidetes are linked to a leaner body composition. Juice fasting was found to significantly decrease Firmicutes and increase Bacteroidetesbacteria.

The same study also found:

  • Increased overall well-being two weeks after the cleanse
  • Fruit and vegetable juices exhibit high antioxidant activity due to their diverse phenolic compounds (healthy antioxidants that protect against aging for example).
  • A three-day juice fast resulted in up to four pounds weight loss.Two weeks after the cleanse, about 50% of this weight loss was retained.
  • Blood plasma NO levels decrease during juice fasts. Meaning increased blood flow and place less stress on your heart.
  • Juicing brings a significant decrease in lipid peroxidation, meaning a reduction in cell damage leading to aging.

Adding mixed fruit and vegetable juice to the diet over 14 weeks improves levels of beta-carotene, vitamin C, E, selenium and folate

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15190044

  • A review of 22 different studies concluded Juices improve folate and antioxidant levels, including beta-carotene, vitamin C and vitamin E.
  • Juices reduce homocysteine levels and markers of oxidative stress, both of which are linked to improved heart health

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22081614

  • Apple and pomegranate juices have been linked to reduced blood pressure and cholesterol levels again pointing to reductions in heart disease.

Studies focussing on children found:

Children who consumed 100% juice had higher intakes of vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium and overall higher diet quality than non-juice drinkers

Juice drinkers had lower intakes added sugar and consumed significantly more whole fruit than non-consumers. No difference was found in total fiber intake.

Int. J. Child Health Nutr., May 2015

100% fruit juice does not lead to weight gain in children

Children consuming 100% juice had higher intake and adequacy of dietary fiber, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium.

Study: Crit. Rev. Food Sci. & Nutr., June 2015 (Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics systematic review of data from 1995-2013)

No association was found between drinking 100% juice and early dental caries in nearly 2,300 American children ages 1-5 years. Indeed juice seems to have a protective effect against caries

StudiesJ of the Amer. Dental Assoc., Dec 2014

Juicing provides levels of nutrients equivalent to whole foods:

When 100% juice was replaced with whole fruit in the diet of children, no difference was found in caloric levels or in the intake of 85% of the nutrients evaluated.

Study: Current Nutr & Food Sci., Oct 2015

Benefits of juicing claimed by health advocates around the world include:

  • Increased energy, reduced tiredness (a powerful time-saving pick-me-up for those on the go)
  • Assists sleep
  • Naturalises body weight
  • Facilitates mental alertness
  • Alkalises the body
  • Aids bones and joint function
  • Strengthens the immune system
  • Improves hair, skin and nails.

Numerous cure and prevention health systems around the world employ juicing to combat serious degenerative diseases. Juicing protocols can easily be replicated at home with Torus Cold Press Juicers, replacing nutrient-dense for nutrient-poor (or worse sugar or saccharine based) drinks.

Introduce healthy habits, fuel your body with vital organic food – experience the vibrancy of raw health by unlocking the health-giving effects of the entire vegetable and fruit world to delicious effect.

This large study found significant reductions in Alzheimer’s for those who drink fruit and vegetable juices three or more times per week, compared with those who drank juices less than once per week. High levels of polyphenols antioxidants in juices are believed to protect brain cells.

It’s important to use mainly vegetable juice and only some fruit as a sweetener. Vegetable juice is lower in calories and usually has more beneficial nutrients, like antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Fruit heavy juicing should be done in the morning or before exercise. This will help stop your body converting and storing this sugar as fat. If you are concerned about the taste of vegetables add an apple or some lemon to into your juicer to transform the flavour.

Your taste buds will become more and more enthralled by the many subtle and rich flavours of the vegetable kingdom.

The vegetables most recommended for weight loss are cruciferous vegetables. These include broccoli, cabbage, kale, bok choy and argula. Juices with high vegetable content are better drunk later in the day.

Maximum weight loss is achieved when 70-80% of your juice is made up of vegetables.

There are various ways you can use juicing recipes for weight loss: One, as in Fat Sick and Nearly Dead, is the total juice fast, where you consume nothing but juice for a period of time.

This juicing diet plan requires discipline and preparation, and should be done correctly. Don’t do a long total juice fast without expert advice.

Shorter fasts are also very effective, especially if repeated. Because you are still absorbing so much nutrition a 7 day fast can often be accomplished without discomfort. You can also get a lot of health benefits with a 3 day detox cleanse as well. But fasting is not the only way.

Another way to use juicing for weight loss is to incorporate it into your daily lifestyle and replace 1 or 2 less healthy meals a day with a nutritious glass of juice. Use it particularly to replace high carbohydrate foods like rice, bread, pasta, soda, bottled juice, and fried / processed foods. This is a healthy strategy for long term weight loss.

 

 

Centrifugal juicers are the most common. They make juice by shredding fruit and veggies into a pulp while they spin rapidly to extract the resulting liquid. These are the most common and are relatively inexpensive.

Masticating juicers crush and squeeze the juice out of vegetables and fruit. This produces both a higher quality and quantity of juice than most centrifugal juicers. The design is also much more effective when juicing highly nutritious greens like spinach, kale and wheatgrass. The latest versions of the masticating juicer are cold press juicers like the Torus, which further protect nutrition by avoiding heat. We suggest these are the ultimate weight loss juicers.
