Not All Juices Are Created Equal

Everyone knows you're supposed to eat your vegetables, but most people don’t eat the recommended amount. Pretty much everyone dose not make it, a lot don’t even come close. To be honest you would have to be a Horse to eat all those raw vegetables and absorb their nutrients.  Fresh juice can help provide a healthy, disease free, full of energy life. To get a good, rich, healthy juice you use a literal pile of produce, I mean a-lot, that’s why the joke about the horse. By grinding and breaking down the fibers you are releasing the juice full of enzymes, proteins, carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals of the healthy plants direct to blood cells to be fully absorbed.  
The produce you use for the juice is very important, what ever is in it is going to go into your body. Only the best ingredients can be used, it should be local, organic, sustainable farm to market produce no pesticides or waxes. If you go to any place that is making juices you better make sure, ask them to show you or pass it up.
The way the juice is prepared is also important. A big problem here is most juicers are centrifugal or masticating, and these are not very good. Even if the juicer looks fancy and cost a lot if it works in those methods, which most due, you're not getting the most out of your juice. These juicers make too much heat in the grinding process, incorporate too much air in the extraction and are too rough and bruise the juice killing those precious enzymes.
A 2 stage cold press is the best way to make your juice. This is where you grind the pulp separately and mix the pulp, also called the Mash, this process makes an enzyme reaction rising the nutrients 10% or more. Then you wrap it and press it slowly, with thousands of pounds of force, squeezing all the goodness out for you. This is the healthiest and best tasting juice.

Here is a  great recipe for you to try
Green Juice:
Spinach - 1 cups
Kale - 2 cups
Pineapple - 1/3, no skin
Green Apple - 2 each, no stem or seeds
Celery - 1/2 a bunch
Micro Greens - 1 cup
Lemon - 1 each, juiced separately 
Remember only the best produce. Wash, cut to size, grind, mix, wrap in cheese cloth, press and collect that great juice. Drink and enjoy, your body certainly will.​
