Tip: Always use organic produce as much as possible. Check out the top 12 produce (known as the dirty dozen ) you must buy organic due to high levels of cancer causing pesticides here.
Tip: When selecting fruits to juice, avoid soft and over ripe fruits. Soft fruits will produce mush and less liquid. Save the soft ones for a smoothie.
Vegetable Facts
Because of swiss chard’s unique ability to regulate blood sugar, this is an excellent leafy green for diabetics. Swiss chard also has the ability to regenerate pancreatic cells.

“Curcumin may be able to prevent the oxidation of cholesterol in the body. Since oxidized cholesterol is what damages blood vessels and builds up in the plaques that can lead to heart attack or stroke, preventing the oxidation of new cholesterol may help to reduce the progression of atherosclerosis and diabetic heart disease.” -whfoods.org

I really like your site. Very informative and clear. I run a cold pressed juice company and was wondering why you don’t talk more about cold pressed vs. masticating and centrifugal juicing. Good topic for discussion.
When testing smaller batches (80oz recipes) we use The Norwalk juicer. It masticates and then cold presses the juices.
Thanks for visiting Tom. Yes, it a great topic. I will discuss in future article. Also great site over at O2Living.
How long can I refrigerate each quart of juice? Can it be frozen?
Hi Kimberly. Depends on your juicer, if you have a masticating juicer then about 3 days. You can freeze your juices as well. Just make sure to store in proper freezing containers.
Most of the juice recipes make a large amount and I see you use the mason jars for storage. How long will the juice last in the fridge in the mason jar? I know they loose some of their “oomph” after a little but so wasn’t sure how that works.
Thanks!
Most recipes will make at least 1 quart (liter) of juice. I consume that in one sitting. If you’re using a masticating juicer like the omega 8005, juice will last up to three days when refrigerated.
love the site…. where do you get the glass jar from ?
Thanks Nikki. Glad you stopped by, visit often. You can find them here mason jar
