For centuries, fruit and vegetable juice have been used for their therapeutic and nutritional benefits. It not only reverses the degeneration of the body but also arrest the rate at which you age, and brings seemingly boundless energy. Fresh juice enables you to easily assimilate useful nutrients in the body.


It is always better to take fresh fruits and vegetables in the form of juice than depend on vitamin and mineral pills, because nutrients combined naturally in food, work much more effective than in the pill form.


Several glass of juice per day is recommended; ideally, two to four glasses, in addition to meals, provide a good balance.
Remember the points below and enjoy the last drop of the juice.
Always Wash the fruits and vegetables before cutting them and juicing them .A small brush – a toothbrush is ideal. Remove damaged or unwanted portions before juice of them.
While extracting juice, remove the skin of orange and grapefruit as they contain a toxic substance.
Some fruit and vegetables will have to be chopped up to fit into your juice/ blender – there’s no way you will get a whole melon in a domestic juice.
Apple seeds contain Cyanide, and hence should be removed before extracting juice from an apple.
Avoid carrot leaves, as they too are believed to have toxins.
Whatever you do, don’t take slugs of juice direct from the storage bottle. Use an attractive glass for your juices.
Take a moment to demonstrate your artistry with an attractive garnish too. A simple slice of lemon, orange, or kiwi, a sprig of mint will please the eye and boost the appetite.
Ice-cubes can add some chilling but do not use too many.
Strawberries, mangoes and grapes make a delicious combination that’s both refreshing and energizing.


This heavenly combination must soothe your soul.
