Fruit V's Veg

Generally the more veg juices the better as the fruit ones have too much sugar in them which we've already established is bad for cancer.

But, I'd say a fresh fruit juice is still better than no fruit or veg juice at all especially if you are in good general health.

We try and stick to two veg juices to one fruit juice.

We're having lots of fun trying out different recipes - either from books or on line and we're also experimenting quite a lot... which doesn't always work out that well! This is usually when we have lots of veg that needs using up quickly and so we juice it all in one go... most of the time it leads to a 'nose holder' but sometimes we're pleasantly surprised.

Another benefit of juicing is that you have much less food waste!

With The Philips juicer from Argos we received a free Juice Master recipe book which has been really helpful especially as it lists the recipes to deal with different ailments like this one for cold and flu:

2 carrots
2 apples
1 inch slice of lemon
1/4 inch of fresh ginger
2 ice cubes

It then explains why it is good for you:

This juice is rich in vitamin C, which helps sweep up free radicals and keeps tissues strong and healthy. The citric acid and ginger are wonderful at eliminating toxins from the body and aiding digestion. Ginger is also a natural antibiotic and one of nature's supreme decongestants.
This juice is full of dietary fibre, thanks to the simple apple, which oozes vitamins and minerals as well as being terrific for overall cleansing of the system.

There's loads more of these as well as Jason Vale's (The Juice Master) story on his website: http://www.juicemaster.com/juice-therapy/why-juice
