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.

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.

Drinking lots of raw, fresh fruit and vegetable juices is one of the most effective ways to clean up our Gut. Investing into a good juice extractor such as Champion Juicer is the way to go. Efficiency is what you and I want, good quality live juice is what you and I need. Due to the ability of Champion Juicer in extracting high yield and nutrient packed fruit and vegetable juices, you are going to get a quick boost in your immune system each time you drink these raw fresh fruit and vegetables juices.

The raw, fresh fruit and vegetable juices that Champion Juicer extracted is also rich in enzymes. With the cooked food, processed food diet that we ingest daily, our diet is seriously void of enzymes in particular digestive enzymes. If food could not be digested and broken down effectively, our bodies suffer malnutrition, even though we may be seemingly eating nutritious food.

Therefore, “Champion Juicer Makes Anti-flu Juices” is not an overstatement. Stay tune for more Champion Juicer Anti-flu juice recipes…..

There are a few interesting tricks when juicing with Champion Juicer.

Juicing soft fruits and vegetables

This juicer is excellent for juicing hard fruits and vegetables. When comes to soft fruits or leafy vegetables, Champion juicer is less efficient. Here’s what you can do.

• Plan your juicing ingredients to have a mix of soft and hard fruits or vegetables
• Juice a few pieces of  soft ones then followed by the hard ones
• Repeat till you finish all the ingredient.
• The hard fruit will help to push the soft ones through easily hence yields maximum juice

Juicing ginger, garlic or onion

Do not juice ginger, garlic or onion at the tail end when juicing with Champion Juicer. Push these ingredients through together with other juicy hard fruits or vegetables for eg. green apples, carrot, celery, beet etc.

Remove all seeds

When you are juicing with Champion Juicer, be sure to remove all seeds in the fruits of your choice. The apple seeds contain cyanogenic glycosides which is poisonous. Raw seeds are also “enzyme inhibitors” which will neutralize some of the enzymes your body produces. In fact, eating foods with enzyme inhibitors may cause a swelling of the pancreas in the long run. So, make sure you remove all raw seeds.

Peeling the skins

If you are not using organic fruits and vegetables when juicing with Champion Juicer, you do need to peel the skins of any fruits. Wash and rinse the leafy vegetables thoroughly before you juice.

Preparing carrots

Make sure you peel the skin of non organic carrots and discard the green top. Be generous to cut at least an inch from the green top and use the rest of the root. The green top contains certain form of poison when one takes in a large amount.

Making carrot juice with Champion Juicer gives you the best supply of Beta Carotene. Beta Carotene is a powerful antioxidant effective in fighting against some forms of cancer, especially lung cancer. Current research suggests that it may also protect against stroke, and heart disease. Research also shows that the beta carotene in vegetables supplies this protection, not vitamin supplements.

The Champion Juicer is known to be one of the most versatile juicer in the market.

When I purchased my Champion Juicer, I did a spring cleaning to my kitchen cabinet. I had to throw out my other centrifugal juicer, citrus juicer, pasta maker and grinder etc.

The Champion Juicer is so multi-tasking. Apart from extracting juice out of most type of fruits, it also extracts leafy vegetables for eg. spinach, kale, cabbage, lettuce, etc. Hard vegetables like carrots, beetroots, celery, cucumber is a breeze to Champion Juicer.

One limitation though, Champion Juicer is not the most ideal extractor for wheatgrass. If you need to juice wheatgrass, you need to get a special juicer for wheatgrass, for efficiency sake.

Champion Juicer could replace your blender to homogenize food. It produces the most yummy creamy nut butter, nut pate, apple and fruit sauces, and a wide range of homemade baby food. It can also make wonderful ice creams, sorbets, purees, salsa, muesli and so on.

Homemade pasta sauce is no longer  a dream with a simple change of an attachment.

When you put on the optional grain mill attachment, your Champion Juicer turns itself into a grain mill. You can then make your own wheat flour, corn meal, rice meal, bean flour and yes, even grinding your own fresh coffee beans. 

There are so many useful functions to Champion Juicer, no wonder it is called a Champion.

Over the years of juicing, I tried many different type of juicers. From manual juicers to electric juicers, from centrifugal juicer to masticating juicer, I had tried many of them. They were all not the same. The prices varied a lot so were the quality of juices they produced.

I considered the following factors when I finally chose Champion Juicer over the other type of juicers,

• Versatile
• Powerful extraction
• Ability to juice soft and hard fruits
• Ability to juice hard and leafy vegetables
• Durable
• Heavy duty
• Low noise produced
• Easy to clean
• Moderately priced
• Reputable maker who supports replacement parts
• Juice quality, most important of all

Champion Juicer is for those who are really serious about juicing for health. They consume juice on a regular basis. The last thing I want to see is for someone to buy Champion Juicer, make a few batches of juice and leave it on the kitchen top collecting dust.

If you include freshly pressed fruit and vegetable juices in your daily diet, I am confident that you will notice a remarkable improvement in your health. My ill health took a turn after I consumed fruit and vegetable juices extracted daily using Champion Juicer.

I was once a victim of never-ending flow of Antibiotics into my blood stream. I was born into a family who unfortunately believed that medication was the only answer to good health. When I was in my adult years, I had to take two to three courses of antibiotic in a month for a simple throat infection because I developed resistance to the drug. I caught colds & flu at the sneeze of anyone next to me. My body simply lacked the ability to fight the disease.

My situation grew worse when I was pregnant with my first child. I suffered a great ordeal as there were limited groups of Antibiotic which I could take. In frustration, I resolved to find ways to reverse my health.

I discovered that Juicing Therapy could restore my body to optimum health.

Since then, I have been making fruit and vegetable juices daily for many years. My body started to respond positively to the fresh juice I drank and I was given a clean bill of health after a couple of years of juicing.

To start juicing, the most vital consideration is to have a good juicer. Finding a good juicer is not always easy. I have used many juicers over the years, some were cheap and some were expensive. Currently, I am using Champion Juicer and it is working well for me.

I would like to do a review on Champion Juicer here so to benefit those who are keen to reverse their health using Juicing Therapy.
