The components of the traditional Mediterranean diet include a dietary pattern of eating with a variety of plant-based foods that have ‘multiple synergistic protective factors as opposed to singling out individual nturients or foods as the underlying protective mechanism.’ The diet is primarily plant-based, whole foods filled with plenty of heathful and biologically active compounds, namely vitamins, minerals, fibre, antioxidants, and phytonutrients.

Adapting a healthy lifestyle is all about deciding to look after our bodies, and one of the very best ways we can do this is to ensure that our lifestyle ‘diet’ is rich in fruits and vegetables. In many ways this isn’t news to most intelligent people, as for many years studies have shown that a diet high in fruits and vegetables, such as the Mediterranean diet, means that people will live longer with fewer diseases.

For most people leading very busy lives, buying and preparing a sufficient range of vegetables every day is nearly impossible as it takes quite a bit of time, and that is where the idea of juicing comes in. Juicing is one of the healthiest things we can do for our bodies, as fresh juice provides us with vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids and much more and all of these factors are vital to maintaining good health.

When we eat fruit and vegetables, much of their goodness is locked into the fibre and is lost to the body. When we juice fruit and vegetables their goodness is released from the fibre and we are able to drink their highly concentrated nutrients which will enter our bloodstream within minutes. This is where the OSCAR juicer comes in and the concept of ‘living juice.’

Normal speed juicers and blenders destroy large number of life-giving enzymes in the juice by subjecting them to heat, metal cutting blades and high speed centrifugal rotation. Rotating at a low 80RPM the OSCAR DA1000 produces no heat and ensures a living juice, without any loss of enzymes of nutrients. The major benefits of living juice are that vital enzymes and nutrients remain intact and are utilised by the body within minutes.

Juicing fruits and vegetables with an OSCAR juicer will help keep you to a healthy eating regime, so for more information on OSCAR please go to http://www.oscarjuicers.co.nz .
