Juice For Life - Oscar Juicers Talks About Benefits Of Juicing

“When you eat food that is made by people in white coats – you end up seeing people in white coats”. So says Australian Joe Cross who is living proof that eating junk food will eventually lead to health problems. Joe was 45 kg overweight, loaded up on steroids for an autoimmune disease and at risk from high cholesterol and diabetes. People were asking when the twins were due when a light bulb went on for Joe. “Holy smoke, I’m actually carrying breakfast, lunch and dinner for probably six or seven months on my body”, he thought and decided to stop outsourcing his health to medical experts and ditch the pills for juice. For the next two months, armed with a juicer, he consumed only fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds.

Travelling 5,000 kilometres across the United States, he filmed his journey to get off the pills and go healthy resulting in the trimming down of his gut and curing his debilitating autoimmune disease. By juicing fruits and vegetables Joe successfully lost the weight and got himself off all prescription drugs and truly re-booted his life. At the same time he developed a passion and appreciation for the delicious tastes and healing properties of the produce he was consuming.

Jo decided to start Reboot, so that rather than thinking of it as a ‘diet’, drinking only juice for a few days can encourage overweight people to take on healthier lives. Making fresh juice a part of a well-balanced, plant-based diet is an important tool for achieving good health. Juicing offers many life-enhancing  health benefits including a faster, more efficient way to absorb immune boosting nutrients naturally found in fruits and vegetables. It provides a way to access digestive enzymes typically locked away in the fibre matrix of whole fruits and vegetables. Most commercial juices are processed and lacking in nutrition while freshly juiced fruits and vegetables are loaded with an abundance of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.

Juicing removes the insoluble fibre from vegetables and fruits. While fibre is an established, important part of an overall healthy diet, removing the insoluble fibre allows for increased absorption of specific health promoting phytonutrients, including enzymes. Normal speed juicers and blenders destroy large numbers of life-giving enzymes in the juice by subjecting them to heat, metal cutting blades and high speed centrifugal rotation. Rotating at a low 80 RPM, the OSCAR DA1000 produces no heat and ensures a living juice without any loss of enzymes or nutrients.
