Oxidation at work

This video shows oxidation at work on a humble apple, yet it's the same oxidation that imperceptibly yet inexorably ages you me and the family dog.
Oxidation is caused by acids.
When we die our acids take over and we rot.
Acids and ageing are, in this sense, synonomous.


While we are on the subject, let's discuss apples.. and carrots, and ma
ngoes and all things that make for wonderful juices.

An off-the-shelf high speed juicer is an excellent oxidiser. The heat it generates as it mecerates the fruit or vegetable kills the enzymes that keep a glass of juice alive, oxidation begins almost immediately. Juices go brown and begin to rot.

Enter the live enzyme juicer, borrowing from the cold press technique. It operates far more slowly, and uses crushing action rather than tearing. It's still efficient as a juicer - very efficient in fact - but the juice you receive from a juicer like this is far more healthy than one from the el cheapo juicers you see at the supermart. Not only that, it's far more flexible. You can make pates, dips, baby foods, and grind your own wheatgrass!

Why am I telling you all this? Because I am about to receive our first shipment of cold press juicers, and you can see just how good they are here.
Give the team a call on 1800-268-469 if you are interested.
