A masticating juicer utilises a slower movement mechanism that breaks down more fibre than conventional juicers. It is a lesser known fact that conventional, cheaper juicers available for retail heat the fruit and vegetables in the juicing process, which reduces the number of beneficial nutrients in the end product.
When you use a masticating juicer, it releases approximately 5 times more nutrients than an ordinary juicer produces. Because of this, the juice from a masticating juicer is healthier, more flavoursome, and it has a richer taste. This is because the juice from a masticating juicer is still living, meaning that there are still active enzymes and nutrients in it, which increases the healthy goodness of the juice. As a result, the juice from a masticating juicer can be kept for longer periods of time before oxidisation sets in.
Using a cold-press masticating juicer rather than a traditional juicer has a number of additional benefits. They are easier to clean, you can juice wheatgrass and herbs, and it can also double up as a food processor. Juicing and blending raw foods is a quick and easy way to hit your 5-a-day fruit and vegetable quota. Studies have also shown that when you consume fruits and vegetables in a liquid form, your body absorbs more nutrients from them compared to eating the same foods whole. At WeightWorld you can choose from a selection of cold-press masticating juicers, any of which will have you and your family feeling healthier and more active in no time.
