what is the best juicing book to buy?

Q. I am new into the juicing world. I would like a book with information about juicing, but always with recipes. Anyone know of any great juicing books???
EDIT- Thos are not good juicing machines. I have the best juicer they make.

A. I bought "Juicing for Life" a few years back and I really like it. I've not purchased a new one because this is so thorough. It's by Cherie Calbum and Maureen Kane. One of them holds a master's degree in nutrition. It has TONS of great recipes.


How do you make fruits & vegetables last longer after juicing?
Q. I want to start juicing for health reasons, but I can't afford to buy a lot of fruits and vegetables that go bad quickly after juicing. Any tips on how to make the juice last longer in the fridge?

A. The more fiber there is in your juice the longer it will last in the fridge. So try adding some of the pulp back into the juice. If you have a blender you can make smoothies (which have more fiber). Also, try to always juice an orange as citrus juices act as a natural preservative. You can also add lemon or lime juice but watch it doesn't make the juice too bitter.


What are some good detox juicing recipes?
Q. I am new to juicing so any pointers are good. I can't do Beets they taste terrible.

A. You should never juice just beets and drink that - that will make you throw up! Can you mix them in with other ingredients? I've never met anyone who doesn't like beets!! ;) Well, here are some juicing recipes that I do (a couple of them do include beets, but you can do without them):

4 celery stalks

1/2 lemon

1 beet, topped and tailed
�juice and finely grated zest of 2 lemons

~ Juice the first 4 ingredients. Add the lemon juice and zest. If you want a longer, fizzy drink, add the mineral water.


What are the best veggies used in juicing?
Q. I just started juicing and would like to know what vegetables are the best type to juice.

A. any vegies are good generally but to be specific;
carrot has beta carotene which is great for skin, eyes and immunity
beetroot is a great liver and blood cleanser
cabbage for ulcers, intestinal problems, gastric issues
rhubarb for kidneys and skin
cucumber for blood pressure and hair, skin, nails
potatoe for gout

happy juicing :) oh if u dont like their taste mix a bit of fruit juice like kiwi, pear or apple in which are great digestives
