Apple
Fresh apple juice carries a significant amount of vitamins A and C! You can mix your fruits and vegetables together to make your own great tasting juices from carrots, tomatoes, cucumber, or melons. As you explore this, you will also be able to receive more of the great tasting nutrients carried in other fruits and vegetables.
Simply push a lemon through your juicer right before you begin juicing your apple. The apple peel carries some of its nutritional value. If you chose not to juice the apple peel, then you will not receive the abundant source of vitamin A that the apple peel carries. It is always better to juice with the peel on so that you can enjoy all the nutrients the apple has to offer! You should also wash your apples before you juice them. This is because they are covered in a very thin layer of wax to help preserve the apple’s moisture. A good portion of the vitamin C content is just underneath the skin. Also, as the apple ripens, the skin retains a lot of its nutrients and flavor. So allowing a little bit of time for them to ripen before you juice them will improve the great tasting value of your fresh home made apple juice.
Apple products serve as an immediate source of energy because of the sugars that the fruit carries. Apples and fresh apple juice also taste so good that infants and children readily consume them. This is why juicing your apples is the perfect snack for your young ones.
Apple juicing is an inexpensive way to improve your body health. Juices made from fresh fruits are a delicious way to improve your all around body health, and they also provide a great deal of nutrition. Apples can also be a primary source of soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber is a great way to prevent cholesterol buildup, which is found in the lining of blood vessel walls. This reduces the chance of atherosclerosis and heart disease. The insoluble fiber in apples provides bulk in the intestinal track. The water is then held and used to cleanse the intestinal track and moves food rapidly through the digestive system. Apple juice is a powerful cleanser and an important necessity for the health of your body.
Compounds in apples and apple juice called phytonutrients act in the same way as red wine and herbal tea; they delay the break down of LDL or “bad” cholesterol. When LDL oxidizes, or deteriorates in the blood, plaque starts forming along the walls of the coronary artery and causes a dangerous thickening of the artery, called atherosclerosis. Lead researcher Dianne Hyson, a dietician, stated: “A very moderate intake of apple juice has the potential to reduce risk factors for heart disease in a fairly short period of time.”
We’ve all heard the phrase,”an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” New research is proving this rhyme to be factual. Researchers at UC Davis School of Medicine have recently discovered that drinking apple juice seems to slow down the process that may lead to heart disease.
