How A Juice Machine Helped Me Become More Healthy

Since I recently received my very own juicing machine, I have experienced a great sense of wellness and well-being. It’s not only due to the health advantages of the freshly made vegetable juices I’ve been drinking. It’s also caused an extreme and noticeable lessening of mental stress and anxiety which I’d experienced prior to using it. That is, the mental stress bought on by departing with my well earned money to buy the ever more expensive fresh juices in restaurants, health stores, and juice bars.

I started using my juicer to create my own interesting and sometimes weird concoctions and combinations. Wheatgrass and ginger to cleanse the lymph system and build up the blood. Barley grass and tomatoes for their high anti-oxidant values. My own original beet, celery, and ginger combination. And many more.

Prior to purchasing the juicing machine, I was really beginning to feel exploited by the local juicing bars charging as much as 5 and 7 dollars for a few carrots, a stalk of celery, an apple, and some honey through their industrial juicer. Other choices were to buy pre-bottled juices from companies such as the MLM Fruta Vida International and the Life Dynamics Acai.

In many ways I am not that health-conscious,but I really love freshly squeezed juice such as acai berry fruit juice. I grew up without a juicing machine, and I remember that many of the bottled drinks at the time advertised that they were “made with real fruit juice”, but in reality they were sugar water with only enough “real fruit juice” in them to give the drinks a hint of the taste of the original fruit.

In addition, I wasn’t the healthiest of kids in my neighborhood. I suffered from asthma and always had a shortness of breath. I was sullen, distracted, and I had real problems with attention and concentration. When I finally reached puberty, my skin condition went from bad to worse. I had pock marks, pimples, and acne and was often embarrassed to go out.

It wasn’t until I discovered “real” juice in my early twenties, that I became aware of just how much what I ate and drank affected my over all health. My girlfriend was a health addict and, if I remember correctly, had a “Jack Lallane” juicing machine which she used religiously every day. And through her own persistence, she got me hooked on juicing as well.

Not being used to some of the “interesting” concoctions that she came up with, It took me a bit of time to get used to the taste and concentrations of some of the drinks. I also remember, in the beginning, having quite a bit of stomach gas. But I also noticed almost immediately, within a 2-week period, the drastic difference in my energy levels and how much clearer of my skin was.

And now, many years later, although I now own a couple of juicing machines, I no longer juice every day, as my schedule doesn’t permit it. But I do it as often as I can. I just wish I had started sooner.
