Day 11 of my juice feast

So excited !

Yesterday I ordered my new Oscar vitalmax 900 juicer.

It is so cool! There was a great special on at Sprout.

I've been using a Breville which has done a great job but I have so much juice that could still be extracted, it seems such a waste. I'm supposed to be able to get an extra 20-30% more juice.

The juice from centrifugal type juicers (Breville) oxidised quicker in comparison to the Oscar which is cold pressed.

Choice magazine did a comparison of many types of juicers and found that the vitamin and mineral content of cold pressed juices was up to 50% higher than the centrifugal. The juice from a centrifugal can also get warmed up from the spinning action and break down the digestive enzymes that are so important for raw foodists.

As I'm really getting into the health benefits of raw I wanted to maximise my nutrient intake as well as have my juices last up to 48 hours, unlike the few hours I'm getting now before it just doesn't taste quite the same. My grocery bill is quite large I must admit so I'm hoping to see a difference here.
