Juices from fresh fruit - too drugs. Fruit and berries are a source of energy, since in them a great number of carbohydrates and vegetables normalize the micro flora of the stomach and stimulates the intracellular metabolism, which is important in older age.
Pectin, which is particularly a lot of beverages with pulp and nectar, remove heavy metals (lead, strontium, cadmium, radium). Many of these substances found in apricot, grape, strawberry, raspberry, currant, blueberry, apple. Almost all juices are useful mineral "supplements".
Organic acids are involved in metabolic processes, medicinally affecting digestion. That they give a specific taste drinks. By the action of the body juices can be divided into the following groups:
- Anti-inflammatory and antiseptic - pomegranate, apple, onion, horseradish, garlic;

The most useful juice - personally cooked fresh . But within a minute or two it starts to oxidize and lose their activity, so it should be consumed immediately. Also in juices prepared from herbs and some root vegetables (carrots, beets), at room temperature can be a rapid transition of nitrate into toxic nitrite, for this reason, vegetable juices, too, should not keep on the table for longer hours. With treatment and prophylaxis is recommended to consume no less than 600 grams per day, during unloading days - a half to two liters.
If you drink them regularly, then a week later improves sleep, appetite, and intestinal peristalsis. The load on the digestive organs is reduced, but the man does not lose so much energy, both during medical deficiency. Dietitians are advised to take the juice for 30-40 minutes before eating. A single prophylactic course must last at least a week is better - two. The concrete juice or a combination of selected individually.
The most valuable universal juice - beetroot, carrot, lemon, grape, apple, cabbage. Mixtures: carrots - beets (in the ratio 4: 1), carrot - apple - beets (2: 2: 1), carrot - beetroot - cucumbers ( 3: 1: 1), carrots - cabbage (2: 1), carrot - cucumber (of 3: 1) carrots - radishes or radish (4: 1), carrot - apple (1: 1), Lemon - Grapefruit - Orange (1: 2: 2 or 1: 1: 1). But the juice of fruits with pits (peaches, apricots, plums) can be mixed only with each other.
Starting rate is better with one or two tablespoons. Dose increased gradually, guided by the individual response and well-being. For prophylaxis is sufficient to use no more than a glass in one go, because a high-energy product. Juices are the highest quality of fresh ripe fruit. You can use the flattened and very small, but they must be healthy, not affected by diseases or pests. Otherwise the finished product will be an unpleasant taste and outsider "flavor".
Have a drink on the table useful on a daily basis will help juicer. There are two types of these devices. Citrus Press - very simple design, consisting of a small engine, a cone-shaped nozzle and containers for liquids. It is intended only for the processing of citrus. Power it is usually small, but it is enough to get the liquid. The principle of operation is also simple - the nozzle is making half a grapefruit and strongly presses his hand. A more progressive version equipped with special holders for fruit. This model allows you to quickly make a short portion (cup or two) drinks, just pour it from the container and a drink. At one glass go two or three oranges. Pulp, accumulated under the nozzle, you must periodically removed.
Universal or centrifugal juicers can get the juice from any fruit, berries or vegetables. The principle of operation of this unit is more complex: the fruit is crushed at the first disk grater, and then sent to a cylindrical or conical separator. Cylindrical gives an opportunity to receive up to 95 percent of the finished product, but there are problems with the pulp, which must be manually removed. When a conical shape such difficulties did not arise, but the efficiency drops to 60-70 per cent.
Some devices are designed for long and continuous work. They are best used for harvesting juice for future use. Others, however, to a daily glass of fresh drink. In general, basic, what should I look for it - a reliable engine, the filter made of durable metal and container from high-quality plastic - in fact refers to the food.
But we can do without expensive electrical appliances. Especially if you need one or two cups of liquid. Use of mechanical assemblies, hand press (they are more reliable and convenient), special attachments to conventional chopper. Sukiyaki less profitable because the action of heat is lost much of the vitamin, besides condensed steam, and the resulting juice is diluted with water.
Of course, the ideal way to maintain health would be daily use of Freshet. But to afford in real life, the natural juice is not always: a suitable fruit is not at hand, the time, just too lazy to get a juicer.
