While not everyone enjoys it juicing is something which I like to do. Been a bit bad about it recently but I still try to a few times a week. After juicing recently I thought I would put up some simple how to pictures on it.
I always start by prepping the fruit and vegetables. I like to use a wide variety including carrots, cabbage, cucumbers along with some watermelon and a few strawberries. I find a good combination of mostly veggies with some fruit gives a good enough flavor.
Next I'll assemble the juicer. There are more fancy ones which make cleanup easier but I couldn't afford them. I find you can get a pretty nice juicer such as this one for less than $100. Sometimes I'll put a plastic bag behind it, just to make cleanup a bit easier.
Juicing is easy simply pushing the vegetables and fruits in. The juicer does its work. Out comes fresh tasty juice while the plastic bag makes clean up a breeze. :-)

Like I said juicing isn't for everyone, while I don't consider it a "miracle cure" and that it's not for everyone. I do think it's a good idea. Still lots of debate and controversy over it. But I think people misunderstand it and how the benefits working. Juicing isn't a cure all or anything like that but to me, it can make up a healthy part of a healthy lifestyle. This means good proper diet, exercise, positive mindset and such.
One study I saw said it's actually bad for you and just "sugar water" which seemed kind of silly to me. Yes, if you juice nothing but tons of fruit it will have lots of sugar. Same as if you eat nothing but fruit. Hence why you juice vegetables as well. Not to mention the sugar in fruit is much healthier for you than table sugar.
A ASU undergrade is actually doing an interesting study on juicing after finding it helped her recover from some pretty bad injuries. End of the day, I say people should live how they want. But I know that I will keep juicing. You can find lots of good ones on Amazon or even at your local grocery store.
I hope everyone found this interesting. If so please let me know and I welcome any feedback. Until next time.
