The USDA recommends that Americans consume at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day in an effort to maintain good health. Numerous studies have linked consumption of fruits and vegetables to a reduced risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease. In addition, high vegetable and fruit intake can help you maintain a healthy weight, boost your immune system and increase your energy levels. However, despite these recommendations, Americans are still not getting the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables and are relying too heavily on processed foods, meat, milk and refined grains and sugar. A simple way to introduce more vegetables and fruits into your diet is through juicing.

There are many types of juicers on the market. Nutritional experts favor the single gear “masticating-style” juicers which operate at a lower RPM to slowly extract nutrients, simulate chewing and ensure the best possible taste. The juicer which meets our stringent testing standards is the Omega 8003/8006 Nutrition Center Juicer from Omega Products, Inc. Omega is a legendary name in fresh juice extraction and produces the highest quality single gear masticating style juicer on the market. The Omega Nutrition Center is available in either a white or a stainless steel finish and will look stylish and elegant on your counter top. The heavy-duty juicer features a patented auger which operates at a RPM of 75 to 85.

The Omega 8003/8006 Nutrition Center Juicer comes complete with all the parts and accessories required for full use of the machine in the variety of functions, saving you money! Assembling the juicer couldn’t be any simpler and our test engineer was most impressed with the juicer’s stability and mechanics. The juicer functions effortlessly and smoothly and is surprisingly quiet. The juicer makes the most delicious “crunching” sound similar to a rabbit when it juicers celery and children are sure to get a kick out of it.

The Omega 8003/8006 Nutrition Center effortlessly juices hard and soft fruits, including citrus fruits which are often very difficult to juice. The juicer excels in juicing all kinds of vegetables and customers will be extremely impressed to see first hand how much juice is extracted, leaving behind a very dry pulp, which translates to more nutrition and savings for you. The pulp can be used in a variety of baked goods or raw food treats.

Tips:

Most people juice mainly fruits, but we would like to encourage you to try to juice mainly vegetables, to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Feel free to add an apple, lemon and lime for sweetness and flavor, but focus on having a higher ratio of vegetables to fruit.

Start slowly to allow your body to get accustomed to juicing. Our panel recommends limiting fresh juice intake to just 4oz per day initially and slowly building up. Dilute fresh juice with 50% water during the first few weeks of juicing. For example, during the initial period, fill a glass with 4 oz of fresh juice and another 4 oz of fresh water.
