Just got my first juicer. |

I'm soliciting any advice, anecdotes, etc. about the benefits of freshly made juice esp. concerning your endocrine network.

That's begging the question.
Thanks anyway.

I used it for 2 weeks before getting sick of cleaning it. It took about 40 minutes to clean. Ugh..
Other than that, the juice was amazing. Apple/Strawberry/blueberry/carrot was my fave.
I'd say it's a good investment if you have a big family, and access to apple trees. Apples are much more expensive than pre-made cider.

juicing for years. There may be recipes on his website also...Remember, the acid in the fruits and veggies, can erode the enamel in your teeth..(I just saw the advert for Sensodyne, I think)....LOL.

9. If you are going to juice, juice a bunch, a pitcher full. |
|
Although the cleanup is not horrible it's not quick and easy either.

Drink it fast. 24 hours or less because there are no preservatives in it, it don't last long.
Also:
Find a Farmers Market and go nuts. Buy a lot of different fruits and vegetables and go home an experiment.
I make a fresh vegetable juice that makes V8 taste like motor oil. Sometimes, I even leave the Vodka and celery stalk out of the glass.
But, I never forget the fresh ground pepper and dash of hot sauce.

Every morning I toss in a fresh lemon and some veggies - carrots, celery, cucumbers, or whatever else. It makes me feel great and I'm a lot less hungry during the day.
