Which juicer to use? Centrifugal or cold press?
There are two main types of juicers:
- Centrifugal Juicers
These typically utilize a fast-spinning metal blade that separates the juice from flesh via centrifugal force. The problem with centrifugal juicers is that the fast-spinning metal blade generates heat, which destroys the enzymes in the fruits and vegetables you’re juicing, leading to a less nutritious juice. - Slow Juicers (also known as masticating juicers)
Cold Press Juicers extract juice by first crushing and then pressing fruit and vegetables for the highest juice yield. Because they don’t produce as much heat, they keep more of the nutrients intact, leading to a high-quality juice.
If you want to pack the most nutrients in your body as possible, use a slow press juicer.
However, if you do not have a slow juicer, do not worry. Use whatever juicer you have at home. The power of fasting is much greater than what juicer you use :)
