My Personal Experience With A Juice Machine
I never knew the general sense of wellness and well-being that I could experience before receiving my very own juicing machine. I think it’s mainly due to two factors. The first is the improved physical health that drinking freshly made vegetable juices has given to me. But,in addition, it has also resulted in an extreme and noticeable lessening of mental stress and anxiety which I’d experienced prior to using it. Mostly, the mental stress bought on by departing with my well earned dollars to buy the ever more costly fresh juices found in restaurants, health stores, and juice bars.
I started using my juicer to create my own interesting and sometimes weird concoctions and combinations. Wheatgrass and ginger to cleanse the lymph system and build up the blood. Barley grass and tomatoes for their high anti-oxidant values. My own original beet, celery, and ginger combination. And many more.
Prior to purchasing the juicing machine, I was really beginning to feel exploited by the local juicing bars charging as much as 5 and 7 dollars for a few carrots, a stalk of celery, an apple, and some honey through their industrial juicer. Other choices were to buy pre-bottled juices from companies such as Fruta Vida International and others and Life Dynamics Acai Corp.
In many ways I am not that health-conscious,but I really love freshly squeezed juice such as acai pulp. I grew up without a juicing machine, and I remember that many of the bottled drinks at the time advertised that they were “made with real fruit juice”, but in reality they were sugar water with only enough “real fruit juice” in them to give the drinks a hint of the taste of the original fruit.
In addition, I wasn’t the healthiest of kids in my neighborhood. I suffered from asthma and always had a shortness of breath. I was sullen, distracted, and I had real problems with attention and concentration. When I finally reached puberty, my skin condition went from bad to worse. I had pock marks, pimples, and acne and was often embarrassed to go out.
It wasn’t until I discovered “real” juice in my early twenties, that I became aware of just how much what I ate and drank affected my over all health. My girlfriend was a health addict and, if I remember correctly, had a “Jack Lallane” juicing machine which she used religiously every day. And through her own persistence, she got me hooked on juicing as well.
Not being used to some of the “interesting” concoctions that she came up with, It took me a bit of time to get used to the taste and concentrations of some of the drinks. But I noticed almost immediately, within a two-week period, the drastic difference in my energy levels and the clearness of my skin.
Now, even though I have my own juicing machine, I no longer juice every day, as my schedule doesn’t permit it. But I do it as often as I can. I just wish I had started sooner.
