Juices for a healthy you

EATING whole fruits and vegetables has its limitation. Nutrients are only absorbed after our digestive system has broken down the tough plant cell walls, making the process slow and inefficient.

One of the benefits of juicing is the increase in daily intake of fruits and vegetables and their nutrients.

While juice should not be a replacement for whole fruits and vegetables, it complements an overall healthy diet – one cup of fruit juice counts as one fruit serving in the nutritional pyramid.

Make sure you do not confuse juices made with added sugars, artificial blends and sweeteners for real juice. The powerful health benefits of juice lie in those that are 100% juice.

Research published in the American Journal of Health Promotion showed that adolescents who drank any amount of 100% juice had lower intakes of total dietary fat and saturated fat as well as higher intakes of key nutrients, including vitamin C and B6, folate, potassium and iron, than those who did not.

Now that you understand the benefits of real juice, you should choose a juicer that can make the best- quality real juice.

According to a report published in September 2014 by Consumer Reports, Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer was rated the World’s Best Slow Juicer for motor performance, convenience and juice yield.

In terms of design, Kuvings was the first to patent the wide- mouth whole fruit juicing function. To achieve this, it has the strongest motor among slow juicers.

Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer’s strong crushing action is able to homogenise tough plant cell walls into readily absorbed nutrient- carrying cells. These cells are absorbed 12 times faster, which explains the surge of energy felt after drinking a glass of freshly made green juice.

Studies conducted in NUC Electronic BioNutrient Lab in Daegu, South Korea, found that juice produced using the Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer contained four times more nutrients than the average juicer.

With the Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer, you can turn ordinary fruits and vegetables into an extraordinary diet for your family. It makes consuming fruits and vegetables easy, accessible and fun.

Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer was recognised as the best slow juicer by two leading parenting magazines BabyTalk and MamaPapa and received the coveted Natural Health’s Readers Choice Award for 2015.
