Buying a Fruit Juicer - Easy way to good Health

By Nick Jaggs

One of the easiest ways to get a serving of your five a day fruit or vegetables is by drinking juice made from them. Only drinking one glass of freshly squeezed orange juice will be beneficial to your health, but may well improve your energy levels as well. Although you can purchase juice ready squeezed spend some money on one of the many good fruit juicers now available and make your own instead.

We know that fruit juice is good for us but too much of a good thing can also cause problems. There are certain fruits which contain high levels of sugar and if consumed in large quantities can prove detrimental to one's health. For example if you are a diabetic these types of sugars are able to access the bloodstream a lot more quickly when consumed in juice form. This in turn results in the levels of blood sugar in the body increasing which can result in a diabetic attack taking place.

When you are deciding what type of fruit juicers to buy you need to be aware there are several different types available. You have to choose whether to go for the centrifugal type including the centrifugal injection or if you go for a manual press, single auger, dual cage auger, twin press or masticating one.

People who buy a fruit juicer for the first time tend to go for the oldest model available which is the centrifugal type. The design is very simplistic on these and to extract the juice from the pulp centrifugal force pushes it down against the unit's shredder and strainer. However, although easy to use a lot of people are now going for the centrifugal injection models as well. Again they are simple in design but the sides on these units are more slated and so cleaning this one proves to be a lot easier.

The other type of juicer which is now proving extremely popular is the masticating type. These instead of shredding the pulp chew it to extract the juice and you will discover that the juice made from this contains far less of the fruits pulp in it. Also they run at a lower speed than the centrifugal types so tend to make much less noise.

If you are thinking of buying a fruit juicer then there are certain factors that you need to be taking into consideration before you make your purchase. Along with how much you are willing to spend on the juicer there are other factors which we show below that you need to consider.

1. You need to find a juicer which is not only easy to operate but to maintain and clean after being used. The more compact the model the better and also look for those where the juicing compartments are removable and can be placed safely in a dishwasher to be cleaned. 2. It is much better to purchase a well known (branded) model as not only do these tend to be more reliable but getting hold of replacement parts for these shouldn't be difficult. 3. Another factor to consider is the speed at which the motor runs as the slower they are then much less oxidation will take place as the juice is extracted. So in fact you are able to extract more juice from the fruit and vegetables that you place in them.

Above we have shown you the types of fruit juicers you can now purchase to prepare your own healthy drinks at home. But remember to keep the factors in mind when you are looking to buy one to ensure that you get exactly what you want at a price you can afford. - 17269
