Cold-pressed juices for the win!

Updated: Mar 31, 2023

Juices packed with vitamins and minerals have long been thought to be the finest way to start the day, but what if your drink also contains extra preservatives, added sugar or other artificial or natural sweeteners, and artificial colors, defeating the purpose of consuming healthy beverages?

Cold-pressing is a method of juicing, where a hydraulic press is used to extract the juice of fruit and vegetables by pressing them with a large amount of pressure. This method eliminates the need for the use of pasteurization thus making sure all the nutrients are intact and that none of the good bacteria are killed.

Pasteurization is a process of food preservation in which packaged and non-packaged foods are treated with heat, usually to less than 100 °C, to eliminate pathogens and extend shelf life.


Benefits of cold-pressed juice


1) Fresh taste

These juices have a shorter shelf life of about 4-5 days, This ensures that the juice you are consuming hasn't been sitting in the cupboards for months, allowing you to experience the rich taste in all its glory.


2) Detox

With our bodies being exposed to environmental pollutants and toxins and unhealthy junk food, cold-pressed juice can help support the detoxification process of vital organs such as the liver, kidney, and skin. The vitamins A and C found in these juices are crucial for this process.


3) Elevation of the mood

Juices are renowned for having a revitalizing and refreshing effect as soon as we take a sip. It can give an instant kick-start or boost to our mood due to the presence of antioxidants, magnesium, B vitamins, and zinc which are the main elements of most medications prescribed for anxiety and depression.


4) Promotes weight loss

Juicing can help your body feel terrific without making you gain any additional weight. In general, drinking natural juice is a fantastic and healthy strategy to lose weight. The majority of juices are packed with enough vegetables and fruit that, even if you only drink a modest amount, your body will automatically feel full. Veggies and fruit are also inherently low in calories!


The drawbacks

Skin and pulp that are rich in nutrients and fiber are left behind by juicing machines. Your body absorbs fructose sugar more readily when there isn't any fruit fiber present, which might cause blood sugar levels to fluctuate. Fruit juices are likely to have a higher glycemic index than entire fruits, which measures how a diet boosts blood sugar levels. Any consumption that exceeds recommended amounts is detrimental since it interferes with keeping a healthy diet.


Conclusion

As rightly said by Bethenny Frankel," Your diet is a bank account. Good food choices are good Investments".

Cold-pressed juices are unquestionably superior to the other options on the market today and can help you give your body its daily dose of nutrition, But they are not a substitute for eating full fruits. Og juices provide you with freshly extracted juice every morning that has no added water, sugar, or preservatives. This blend is delivered to your doorstep before 8 am and aims to build up your immune system!
