One of the best health investments you can make is to buy a good juice machine. Freshly made juice at home provides your body with live enzymes and nutrients that are dead in the juices found at supermarket. One reason, supermarket juices are pasteurized which destroys much of the nutrients. Secondly, live enzymes die off in about 20 minutes. So only freshly made juice that you drink soon after gives you the full benefits.

However, do not just buy any juice machine. Centrifugal juicers – the ones commonly found in stores – are cheaper but their fast spinning metal blades will greatly reduce the juice quality due to heating up and oxidization. The cold press juicers are the best but they cost significantly and take more time to clean. Next best option is a slow masticating juicer, like this one Omega VSJ843QS. It preserves much of the nutrients and yet it can be cleaned in about five minutes. I bought this juice machine about 8 years ago, and it is one of the best investments I made. The 15-year warranty that it comes with speaks volumes as to its quality.
