    Default question about juicing

    Hello

    At the moment I can not afford a good juicer. The one I juice with is a simple hamilton beach with the basket. Once I do juice I drink it right away. I know that having a bettter juicer you get more nutrients. So my question is ...
    is it even worth it to use the cheap juicer or should I save my time and wait untill I can afford a better one??

    It is definitely worth using it.....you are still getting tons of nutrition from the veggies you are juicing.....a lot of times with a cheaper juicer the pulp is wet....some people put the pulp back thru the juicer asecond time to extract as much as possible. I always make only enough to drink right away...I don't like the taste as it oxidizes...I ahve a champion but used a cheaper centrifuge type for years.

    My mother had an old Acme for YEARS! She used it daily for quite some time, had BEAUTIFUL skin. Was dating a man 20 years younger than she for awhile ~ when she was in her 60's. Is it worth it? Yes, absolutely.

    The nutrients are in the food not the juicer. All juicers make juice but some juicers have features another juicer may not have like efficiency, ease of cleaning, price, dependability, quality, etc.

    Thank you so much for the replies. I will continue on using my current juicer. With the jucier that I have I do have it down to 12 minutes to prepare, juice, drink and clean up so it works out nice. :)
