A blender is probably one of the best investments you can make for your household. Fresh juices are the best as fruits and vegetables (especially those rich in Vitamin C like oranges, for example) rapidly loose a part of their 'effect' and vitamine-power within a very short while after being crushed. Healthy juices should thus be maid to drink on the spot. I would always prefer organic fruit and vegetables (not least because that way you avoid all the pesticides which, by the way, do NOT get rinsed off simply by wasing the fruit!). At the supermarket/store, I would always choose fresh juices from the fridge as opposed to those made from concentrated liquids and rehydrated with water. For 'total wellness' I would seek to introduce as much variety as possible, so as to gain maxumum benefit. Apples and celery are good detoxers, bananas are nourishing and rich in potassium which also helps speed up the metabolism, etc. Its also more interesting to mix fruits and vegetables. A big favourite with 'juicers' is apple and carrots. Berries (rich in anti-oxidants)are also good for a different, tangy flavour. There are many internet sites on juices and fasting with juices. Whilst not everyone wants to go on a fast, these sites do offer great advice and many nice juice-recipes. Always remember also to prefer fruits and vegetables which are grown locally and, also, which are in season.
