Years ago, juicing was something that was associated only with the
health-conscious. One would identify the health freaks if he or she owned
a juicer or drank fresh juice instead of canned regularly. But today the story
is different. And I am happy that people today are much more aware of taking
their bodies seriously and not over loading them with calories. Today people like
me prefer juicing to lose weight, to cleanse and to consume more nutrients and
antioxidants and vitamins.
In
an era where we all lead stressful lives burning midnight oil in the corporate
world and working 12-14 hours every day and where Pizza and pasta have become a
daily consumable and health problems like cholesterol, fatty liver and even
obesity are rampant. We have become people who hardly consume any fresh fruits
or vegetables and prefer colas over fresh juices. Money and western imperialism
is taking a toll on our health and our lifestyle is full of lethargy and zero
physical activity. This is where a juicer perfectly fits your kitchen and to
get your life back on track and to detox your body from the toxic cola’s and
oily and cheesy food you consume.
Juicing is the perfect and easiest way to get
more fruits and vegetables in your diet. Especially if you have kids who are
not into fruits or veggies juicing them is the perfect way to ensure they get
their nutrition. Juicing is a great technique to ensure that we and our loved
ones consume a greater variety of fruits
and vegetable than they may otherwise eat. Once your juice is ready, it's
best to drink it instantly afresh to preserve its taste and quality.
Juicers
are increasingly becoming a popular and a fast moving consumer electronic item
sold online or in department stores. There are Juice bars that have popped up
anywhere and everywhere in the city and cold pressed juice delivery service is
increasingly gaining popularity as we speak. But trust me the cold pressed
juices cost a fortune. I would rather hygienically make that juice myself at
home without adulterating it with water or any condiments rather than order a
meagre 100-200ml quantity. The comfort of a juicer also gives you the advantage
to make juices which are not available in the market or delivered by most of
the cold pressed juice outlets. You can make a bitter gourd or bottle gourd
juice at home or mix a cucumber celery beetroot juice for a perfect detox or
make a mint and watermelon combo. So the fact that I am trying to sell to you
people is that “GET YOUR LIFE BACK ON TRACK” before you turn 40 and your cholesterol
is giving you trouble and your old jeans stop fitting you. Consider this a wakeup
call and move to a healthier lifestyle and pamper yourself by gifting yourself
a Borosil Juicer – The quickest and easiest and of course your first milestone
in making the healthier choice.
I
was wondering if you go out with a friend or your partner for a meal including
drinks the bill would easily shoot up to about 4000-5000 bucks and if one can
spend so much on one meal, one can definitely shell much less money than that
in buying oneself a Borosil Juicer for taking those inches off your waistline.
And who doesn’t want to look good and feel good.
For
me, weight has been a continuous life long struggle. When I was in college I
was a basket ball player and used to work out and run every day and managed to
keep those kilos off. But post a ligament injury in my ankle and on my knee the
foodie in me overtook the workout frenzy girl and I piled on kilos after kilo’s
and I wouldn’t fit into the best of my clothes and it started worrying me when
my knees started paining while moving up and down the stairs that’s when I
realized that my body is sounding an alarm and I need to do something about it.
I have done everything from a VLCC to a dietician to protein shakes and because
of my injury I cannot indulge in a rigorous gymming regime so I decided to take
charge in my own hands and started watching what I ate and drank.
In
the beginning I did order cold pressed juices from outside and only later did I
realize that the taste seemed adulterated and that juices had a large bit of a
water content. And I thought it wouldn’t pinch if I gifted myself a juicer. I
went ahead with the compact Borosil Juicer,. Very user friendly a great scratch
resistant stainless steel body, easy to clean and handle and makes some
excellent juice, I have run out of the number of juice variants I have made
from my juicer. My Borosil has become my one of my top most prized possessions.
I has not only helped me shed loads of inches but also helped my husband lower
his cholesterol levels. I give my husband fresh Amla, Karela and beetroot juice
at regular intervals and it has really helped. Whenever I am on a detox diet I
fill myself a bottle of fresh carrot and mint juice and carry it to work or
make myself a glass of lauki juice in the morning which is Baba Ramdev’s secret
recipe to weight loss.
I
am a little surprised how much I enjoy juicing my way to a good health. Even
though I mostly stick to vegetable juices, but even the fruit juices that my
BOROSIL makes are bright and refreshing, like a sunny summer day. They not only
taste great but and made me feel great about myself too.
Sam’s
tips for juicing
If you are committed to march
towards the good life, here are a few pointers to make the best juicing
experience with your BOROSIL:
Ø Focus on both fruits and veggies
in your juice.
Ø Add some mint or ginger
or lemon for that extra zing in flavour.
Ø Include apple and beetroot as
they are one of the best miracle items nature has created
Ø Include 1-2 root vegetables may
be carrots or beet roots which are so full of antioxidants to make your skin
glow and your hair shine.
Ø You could also make a juice out
of your leafy and other greens like a cucumber or celery or a broccoli or even
mint
Ø Consider adding back some pulp or
vegetable fibre that is filtered out by the juicer. This will make your juice
more filling and healthier.
