Health Benefits of a Masticating Cold-Press Juicer – Less than a Three Minute Clean up with Samson Juicers

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

People are constantly searching for a juicer that can make them nutrient-rich juice but won’t take up too much of their time. Well, the juicers that preserve the most nutrients in your juice are most certainly masticating cold-press. However, several people are turned off from these types of juicers because they require a bit more time to juice and their parts are not suitable for the dishwasher. Well, this is no longer a problem! Samson Juicers are cold press mastication juicers, but they can be cleaned up in less than 3 minutes! No more worrying about a annoying, tedious clean-up!

What Does Cold-Press Even Mean?

Cold-press is simply a classification for juicers using motors that spin at speeds between 80 RPMs to 200 RPMs. At these speeds, juice remains cold and is therefore called cold-press. This is a good thing because when juice overheats oxidation occurs and allows enzymes to break down and lose nutrients. Since cold-press juicers avoid oxidation, they can produce the most nutrient-rich juice. (Oxidation also occurs when juice is exposed to air, which is why it is always suggested that you drink your juice right after juicing it and store the rest in a sealed container!)

Why Do You Think Masticating Juicers Are Better Than Centrifugal Juicers?

The correct answer is that they are not necessarily better than centrifugal juicers- it really depends on what youre looking for from a juicer! However, masticating juicers definitely produce healthier juice. To begin with, there are no cold-press centrifugal juicers out there because they all run at such high speeds (oxidation!) Additionally, the mastication process is much more natural than the centrifugal process- it chews at your produce in the same way we chew our food, as opposed to grinding up the produce into tiny little bits. Therefore, if you are looking to juice for health reasons, you want a cold press mastication juicer.

Is it Actually Possible To Clean A Samson Juicer in Less Than Three Minutes?

YES! Samson Juicers take less than 3 minutes to clean up! Ive timed it and I can do it in 45 seconds (Im not joking!). This is possible because you can easily twist the entire housing off and clean everything under the tap at once, instead of having to take apart the housing and wash each part separately! This way, the tap washes off the gears and the housing while theyre still sitting in place. This also makes re-assembly much easier! You will have to brush the screen, but thats unavoidable if you are going to use a screen. However, it comes with a very convenient scrubbing brush to help!

Helping to Relieve Your Pain

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

If you have ever had back pain and felt that it will never go away? I have been at that point, and it was scaring me. Fortunately, I was able to connect with a Pain Management Specialist who was able to help with medications that reduced the pain and helped me sleep. It is amazing how much better you can deal with things if you have gotten a good night’s sleep. One of the best first steps is to get a good practitioner and learn back pain exercises that will help strengthen your core muscles. Then you can explore other alternatives if you wish

I have gone through a number of modalities to relieve my back pain, and the best one to start with is learning back pain exercises. I learned them from a certified physical therapist, and was also taught how to modify them for my physical limitations. Other modalities you can try is meeting with a pain management specialist and beginning a medication regime, learning exercises or techniques, such as self adjusting techniques, Pilates’, yoga, or Qi Qong . I know from personal experience that Qi Qong and Pilates for pain management helped me a great deal, as well as developing a walking regime.
