HOW TO MAKE JUICES MORE PALATABLE
MAKING JUICES MORE PALATABLE
· If you do not
like bland juices, you can improve its taste by adding a quarter of lemon, which
contains 5% citric acid and vitamin C.
· You can also add
about 8 tbsp of cranberries to your juice to improve the taste, as its antioxidant
content helps in preventing cancer, stroke and heart disease.
· If you like the
taste of fresh ginger, grate it and add it to your juice, as it is also helpful
in lowering cholesterol levels.
· The removal of
the fibres in the extraction of the juices enables them to be quickly digested and
assimilated with less effort.
· However, a juice
is not a complete meal replacement.
· You should consume
it with your meal or as an in-between snack.
· It should
therefore be an addition to your regular meals.
PRECAUTIONS
· Be
pesticide-free, by washing fruits and vegetables thoroughly with cold running
water, and use a stiff brush if necessary, to remove the pesticides and sprays
that enter plants and roots.
· Clean your juicer
immediately after using it to prevent any remnants from contaminating the
juicer.
· Drink juices
immediately, or postpone its preparation.
· Avoid storing
juices for later consumption as they are perishable.
· If you’re
careful, you can store a juice for 24 hours, but with moderate nutritional
decline.
