Champion Juicer Reviews

Keep your cool this summer with a refreshing melon juice. There are many choices you can pick from the melon family, to name a few, Cantaloupe, Honeydew and Watermelon.

Melon is a common name given to various species of the Cucurbitaceae family with fleshy fruit.

Melon juice can be prepared using a blender but my personal preference is to use Champion Juicer. Champion Juicer extracts the clear melon juice very well and expels the pulp without any further straining whereas the blended melon juice tends to be a bit more fibrous and that’s not ideal as a thirst quencher.

Before juicing melon, it is always a good practice to wash the melon thoroughly as the skin of the melon may contain harmful bacteria pathogens such as the salmonella. Cut away the skin and slice the melon into segments small enough to feed into the feeding chamber of Champion Juicer. Discard all seeds where possible. Feed the segments one after another at a steady speed into the Champion Juicer to avoid any unnecessary heating up.

Always chill your melon before juicing if you want an instant cool melon juice as Champion Juicer is capable of maintaining the temperature of the chilled melon due to its low Rpm.

Cantaloupe juice is a good source of polyphenol antioxidants, which is essential to maintain healthy cardiovascular system and immune system. Cantaloupe juice also provides excellent vitamin C and beta carotene.

Champion Juicer is known to produce high quality Honeydew juice. Honeydew juice contains high Vitamin C, B6, folate, pantothenic acid and potassium but low in sodium. Honeydew juice also helps to overcome high blood pressure, skin disorders and other related problems of the circulatory system.

Watermelon juice is effective in clearing water retention problem in your body. It is mildly diuretic. Watermelon juice’s red pigment signifies the presence of Lycopene. Lycopene is a red carotenoid pigment and phytochemical found in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables. When extracting watermelon juice using Champion Juicer, it draws out the rich vitamins A, B6 and C as well as potassium from the fruit.

Do experiment with different types of melon juice using Champion Juicer and enjoy a cool summer nutrient packed juice that expels body heat.

Caution: consult your health practitioner before consuming sweet melon juice if you suffer from diabetes. In fact, if you are brave enough to try out Bitter Melon juice (commonly known as Bitter Gourd juice), it is proven to help regulate blood sugar in diabetes sufferer. Bitter Melon is also a member of the melon family.

Clean the Bitter melon thoroughly under running water, segment longitudinally. Feed segments through Champion Juicer with its seeds in tact.

What can be better than a glass of refreshing cool juice in the mid noon of a hot summer day? With the hot summer heat consuming my entire being, I dug deep into my Champion Juicer recipes archive, and retrieved a few of my favorites. Here’s one….

“Cu-Lime Cool” with Champion Juicer

• 2 Green Cucumbers
• 1 Lime
• Honey (optional)
• Ice cubes (optional)

Peel the cucumber if it is not organically grown. Slice into big long strip for ease of feeding them into the Champion Juicer feeding chamber.

Clean the lime and cut into quarters. Remove all seeds as the seeds may leave you with a bitter after taste. Push the two ingredients into the feeding chamber of the Champion Juicer and voila, you get yourself an instant fix !  You may grate the zest of an extra lime for garnishing and added floral aroma.

Lime is a good source of Vitamin C and cucumber’s cooling properties give a rejuvenating touch to the body. Cucumber juice aids skin eruptions of many kinds, especially with the addition of a little alfalfa juice.

Cool……

Raw vegetables and fruits juices prepared using Champion Juicer is unbeatable in terms of its healing properties. Generally, I would prefer to juice my daily minimum 5 servings of raw vegetables and eat the fruits in whole. No matter how nutritious the fruits are, they still contain a certain amount of sugar in the form of fructose. Fructose contributes to extra calories input into our bodies.

Having said so, the addition of certain fruits in the raw vegetable juices made by Champion Juicer is beneficial. It broadens the nutrition spectrum in the juice and enhances its overall taste as well.

My top pick of fruits are mainly citrus fruits such as, oranges, grapefruits, lemons, lime and tangerine. These citrus fruits contains high vitamin C which is a high detoxifying and cleansing agents. Their fructose content are relatively lower as compared to other sweet fruits. Citrus fruits may be added to carrot, cucumber, celery, beets juices to make excellent juice. Always alternate the vegetables with the juicy citrus fruits when pushing them into the Champion Juicer. This helps to extract the hard vegetables more efficiently.

Other fruits which can be added to the vegetable juices are, star fruits, pineapples, green papaya, green apples and guava.

Looking at the daily negative news reporting of the global A(H1N1) virus pandemic (refer news extract below), it just dawned on me one thing: The one and only urgent measure you and I must take immediately is to strengthen our own Immune System. There is no better way, not vaccine, not drugs, nor any complicated bio-technologies. You and I need to get back to the “Basic” of Health. The total health of our Immune System depends on the well-being of our Gut, the digestive system.

I have shared briefly on the benefits of vegetable juice to revitalize our bodies. Now, I am going to share a few tips and tricks on preparing fresh raw vegetable juices using Champion Juicer.

1.  Which vegetable should you juice?

• Good question!  It is all up to YOU.
• To make juicing pleasant and enjoyable, the vegetables you choose must taste pleasant or according to your taste preference.
• Avoid strong tasting vegetables eg. leeks, onion, garlic etc even though these are healthy choices.
• Be creative to try mix and match different types of vegetables so that you will get a good variety of nutrients.
• One good guide I follow is to incorporate a rainbow colored range of vegetables in my juices. Champion Juicer chews up practically any type of vegetables you feed to the juicing chamber.

2.  Balance vegetables which are high in sugar content with other lower sugar vegetables.

• Generally, root vegetables contain higher sugar than those vegetables that grow above the ground.
• Use carrots, beetroots, potatoes, cabbage etc in moderation and always mix with vegetables like celery, cucumber, leafy greens, lettuce etc. These are choices that are friendly to the Champion Juicer.

3.  Use organic vegetables whenever possible and stick to local produce.

• Even though Champion Juicer separates the mineral nutrients from the pulp where inorganic pesticides may be trapped, it is always wise to spent a little more to buy organic grown vegetables. You will get more nutrients out of organic vegetables.
• Support the local produce or farm. That way, you will get vegetables that are fresh and full of enzymes.

4.  Drink immediately.

• Even though Champion Juicer can make you high quality juices which are not compromised by oxidation, you will get the best of nutrients if you drink it immediately after you juice it.
• Having said so, juices made with Champion Juicer can be stored up to a day with a slight decrease in nutrients.
• Here’s what you should do. Pour the juice gently into a narrow necked glass bottle right up to the very top to keep the oxygen out. Screw tight the lid, wrap the bottle with Aluminum foil to cut out the light. Store in fridge.

Fresh raw vegetables juice made with Champion Juicer is packed with nutrients, trace minerals, vitamins and enzymes. Vegetable juices deliver nourishment enzymes to your body in a matter of minutes. Champion Juicer separates the mineral elements and the distilled water from the fibers of vegetables very effectively. The vegetable juices bypass the digestive processes which takes up much energy and get absorbed quickly by our body. You will get an instant boost of energy after drinking a glass of vegetable juice made with Champion Juicer.

You may ask: why not blend the vegetables or eat them whole, instead of juicing them? Well, the fact is fibers contain no nutritional values. It only acts as a broom, sweeping your intestine clean. If fiber is still present in your juice, it will render the absorption of nutrient inefficient. Champion Juicer is very good at throwing the fiber out of vegetables.

Vegetable juices made with Champion Juicer have been found to contain enzymes in abundance. Enzymes acts as catalysts and they are the agent for change or action without they themselves being changed. When the enzymes are activated, the life-containing elements in food are also being released in our body

The juices extracted by Champion Juicer from fresh raw vegetables are the channels by which you can furnish all your body cells and tissues with the nutritional enzymes you need because it can be readily digested and assimilated.

Throughout my years of juicing fruits and vegetables using Champion Juicer, carrot juice forms the foundation for all the other juices. I add carrot juice into my daily diet.

When I first started to prepare carrot juice, I was using a blender. The blended carrot juice did not give me the full nutrients which my body needed at that time. It merely cuts up the carrots as fine as I wanted but it did not do the job of extraction.

I then switched to a centrifugal juicer, which gave me better carrot juices. I benefitted from the carrot juices produced by the centrifugal juicer. I experienced some low level detox when I drank it in big volume. What the centrifugal juice did was, in principle, scratching and grating the carrots on the sharp rotating bottom plate into fine pulp, then using centrifugal force to spin the pulp unto a filter basket which separates the juice from its pulp. The heat produced during the high speed spin has destroy some beneficial enzymes and heat sensitive vitamins.

After a while, I read about Champion Juicer  and I owned one not long after that. Champion Juicer  chewed up all the carrots and the juice it extracted was very rich, both in taste and color. I experienced detox with just a small glass of carrot juice that Champion Juicer produced. It is awesome!

The carrot juice made by the Champion Juicer will not oxidize quickly due to the low rpm, therefore you can store them in a screw tight narrow neck glass bottle for a day or two. It will stay fresh throughout.

Raw carrot juice is a must in everyday juicing. Try it and you will see the difference.
