I have gotten better ideas for juicing by simply going to my local juice bar. Is this what I can expect from juicing “cook” books? I hope not. Thank goodness I can look at lots of these books for free through my library.

The book I use most days to inspire health
May 31, 2013
Julie Stafford's Juicing for Health is a book I purchased back in the day. I would have been eighteen and my then boyfriend (who is now my partner) bought me my first juicer.
I've always been incredibly intrigued by diet and health.
The fantastic thing about this book is not just the amazing juice recipes. I got my favourite recipes from this book and juiced every morning. I felt incredible, my skin glowed, I lost weight, and I had heaps of energy.
But the best part of this book is the information on vitamins and minerals and the symptoms you will have if you lack these nutrients.
Have dry skin?
Then you need Vitamin A. Juice apricots, melons, green or yellow vegetables, carrots ...
Losing hair?
Then you need Inositol and Vitamin B2. Juice citrus fruit and green vegetables, leafy greens and capsicum.
Suffer from bruising easily?
Then you need Bioflavonoids. You get this from the pith of oranges, tangerines, lemons.
You get the idea. :)
These helpful sections are titled: Vitamins in Fruit and Vegetables. And, Minerals in Fruit and Vegetables. These are worth the price of the book alone.
There is advice on the therapeutic nature of juices, a comparison of the juices on the market, the equipment you will need, details of drinking juices, including the time of day, combining and tips.
There are sections on cleansing diets, slimming diets, anti-cancer diets, and a list of the calorie count of vegetable juice compared to other snacks. There's a RDI list of the vitamins and minerals needed everyday by people of all ages, male and female, as well as pregnant and lactating women.
For many years, when I was sick I would find one of "signs of deficiency" that matched mine. Then I would spend a few weeks juicing the corresponding vegetables listed. I got better naturally, had more energy and maintained the same body weight.
The recipe sections include Fruit Juices, Vegetable Juices, Soups, Smoothies and Sorbets.
Each fruit or vegetable listed in the recipes has a breakdown of its nutrients per 100g. EG: Protein, Fat, Carbohydrate, Calcium ... the list goes on for each vegetable or fruit and included the kj count and calorie count.
My eldest daughter came to me the other day, this book in her hands and said, "Mum, this is an awesome book."
I nodded and smiled. She then asked to make a juice straight away, and I let her. She loves to read this book and see what next fresh recipe she can juice to fix some ailment or just to feel amazing.
I would recommend this book to everyone.
