Frequently asked Questions
- What are the benefits of juicing?
Health experts agree that maintaining good health includes eating a diet high in vegetables and fruit. One way to help you get that dose of 5+ a day is to add fresh juice to your diet. Freshly squeezed juice from a Health Products juicer retains many more vitamins and minerals than the cooking process. That’s because often they can get damaged during cooking.
Among the many other benefits, fresh juice helps boost your immune system, is absorbed quickly into the body, aids in repair and rebuilding work and assists to detoxify and cleanse the body.
- Can I use my juicer for anything else?
The Compact juicer can make pasta and noodles, as well as frozen desserts, baby food and nut butters.
The Twin Health fruit and vegetable juicer will also make nut butters, salsa, hummus and dips. It can also extract milk from raw coconut flesh, soaked soya beans and almonds. As well, you can make your own sorbets quickly and easily, just add your favourite frozen fruit straight into the feeding chute.
- Do the juicers extract wheat grass?
All of the juicers sold by Health Products NZ will extract wheatgrass.
- Does the heat from the engine in the juicer affect the nutrients in the food?
Because they operate at low revolutions per minute, the heat from the motor is minimized and thus helps maintain the enzymes and nutrients. This is because heat is largely responsible for harming or destroying your food’s valuable minerals and nutrients.
- Are the juicers easy to clean?
Yes our juicers are simple to use, versatile and easy to clean.
- What foods can I juice with my new juicer?
You can juice just about any fruit or vegetable including, leafy greens, carrots, celery, parsley, cucumber, sprouts, tomatoes, apples, spinach, kale, just to name a few. Try out combinations like carrot and celery for a delicious, nutritious drink.
- What does raw food mean?
Raw food is just food that has not been cooked such as fruits and vegetables. Health experts have been aware for some time of the benefits of including raw foods in your daily diet. By not cooking vegetables you do not damage or destroy their valuable nutrients and so your body is able to enjoy the full benefits of the food you are absorbing.
