How do I know which speed setting is right for me?

The individual heart rate is used as a guideline for setting the intensity of the vibration. The body begins burning fat at approximately 65% of the maximum pulse rate. While exercising, the pulse rate should generally be at 60 - 70% in the first few weeks. Within a few weeks of undertaking a routine of 3 workouts per week of 30 minutes each, the intensity can be increased to the optimal fat burning rate of 70 – 85% of your maximum pulse rate.

As a rule of thumb, the following formula is commonly used:

Maximum pulse rate: 220 minus your age in years = your individual maximum pulse rate per min.

Minimum pulse rate: Max PR x 0.7 = minimum pulse rate per min.

Highest pulse rate for exercising: Max PR x 0.85 = highest pulse rate per min.

Can I get a cardiovscular workout using the Vibrodisc?

You can increase your level of cardiovascular activity in the following ways…
Increase the speed level of the Vibrodisc
• Increase the time spent performing the more dynamic exercises
• Increase the speed at which you perform the repetitive exercises
• Using handweights

Who is using the vibration platform?

People are using the vibration platforms for a whole range of different needs. We have a customer with agoraphobia who has been housebound for 5 years, a paraplegic child, people with sports injuries & swelling, people with sciatica, back, shoulder and hip problems, poor circulation, loss of motivation in life and those overweight, to name just a few!

How often should I use the vibration platform?

Every day! The timer allows for up to a 10 minute session and this can be
performed 2-3 times per day.

Where did Vibration Technology originate?

Weight Bearing Vibration Technology was developed by Russian space scientists and was originally used exclusively by Russia to combat the effects of micro-gravity on cosmonauts and to enhance the performance of the Russian Ballet and Olympic competitors.

Who can benefit from a vibration platform?

The vibration platforms have been used to help a wide variety of physical health complaints and some people have reported an increase in a feeling of optimism; the stimulating effects of the vibration machine can help counteract certain types of depression and loss of motivation. Scientific research on the effects of vibration platforms has been conducted all over the world. Resulting publications in leading medical research journals suggests that people with debilitating conditions such as osteoporosis, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, and stroke victims can yield the benefit of exercise while working within their personal limitations and minimising stress on the joints and ligaments.

How does Vibration Technology work?

In traditional strength and power training, the load on the muscles is determined by the weight lifted. When using the Vibration Platform, a specific frequency and amplitude of vibration is chosen and the movement of the plate loads the limbs. The vibrations stimulate a reflex contraction within the muscle which leads to a high level of muscle activation and exertion. The superior muscleactivation that the vibration machine stimulates compared to conventional training, means that less time is required to work muscle groups completely and the benefits are wider ranging than those achieved by ordinary exercise.

If you dont already have a juicer and you are wanting to follow a healthy raw food diet, it is essential that you purchase a Cold Press Juicer, which will quickly become the favourite appliance in your Raw Food Kitchen.

View our article Which Juicer is Right for Me? for help deciding which juicer to buy.

We have put together some healthy juicing recipes to get you started.

Meine Mango

Mangoes have one big advantage; they have a great and strong taste. Mangoes can be quite expensive, but the good news is that one mango is more than enough for a good juice. There are at least twenty-two different types of mangos with the most exquisite taste. Usually we are lucky to be able to purchase one or two different variations during the stone fruit season. On your next holidays in the tropics have a look for them.

Ingredients:
* 1 mango
* 1 papaya
* 4 oranges

Machine set up:
* First place the living juicer Juicing Strainer into the drum and onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counter clockwise onto notch 0.
* Place your Juice Pitcher under the Juice Outlet and place the other pitcher under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the pulp.
* Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.
Preparation instructions:
* juice the oranges, papaya and mango on notch 1

Preparation time: 8 min

Yields: 2 glasses

Preparation hints:
For this juice I remove the pithy part of the oranges, as it doesn’t go too well with the exotic consistency of this tropical juice. A colorful flower pierced on the rim of the glass makes you immediately relax to slow down to enjoy this juice. Choose a sweet mango for this juice. In some countries the seeds of the papaya are swallowed as they are meant to contain the greatest amount of papain. I usually swallow one or two soupspoons full of these seeds and really enjoy the taste and benefits.

Nutritional information:
Mango supports the immune system and helps to maintain the collagen in our body. It is rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C and A. Papaya is rich in vitamin C, A, carotene, flavonoids, silicon, papain and magnesium. Papain is a protein that aids in the digestion. Papaya also has anti-inflammatory properties. Oranges contain an essential oil called ‘limonene’ and they are said to have anti-carcinogenic properties.

Old Chinatown with Lychees

The lychee, also spelled ‘litchee’, ‘lichi’ or ‘lichee’ grows on an evergreen tree that has been cultivated in China for thousands of years. They are mouthwatering to taste and unfortunately in most countries their price is high but affordable for special occasions.

Ingredients:
* 6 cups white grapes
* 2 cups lychees

Machine set up:
* First place the living juicer Juicing Strainer into the drum and onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counter clockwise onto notch 0.
* Place your Juice Pitcher under the Juice Outlet and place the other pitcher under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the pulp.
* Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.

Preparation instructions:
* peal the lychees and remove the seeds
* then juice lychees and grapes on notch 2
* remove left-over liquid in the drum by slowly opening the drum cap while holding a container underneath

Preparation time: 12 min

Yields: 2 glasses

Preparation hints:
This juice is very sweet and contains a lot of natural fruit sugar. It is great for afternoon tea to boost yourself for the rest of the day. You can also use longan or rambutan instead of lychee fruits. Rambutans are not as juicy but their seed is very easy to remove. Use grapes with seeds as they also contain valuable nutrients. I tend to buy organic grapes where possible as non-organic are usually heavily sprayed and require a very good washing.

Nutritional information:
Lychees are an excellent source of vitamin C and also provide small quantities of dietary fiber. White Grapes contain rare key elements such as copper, fluorine, manganese, phosphorus, calcium, tartaric acid and flavonoids. The seeds of grapes contain phosphorus and should therefore be eaten or juiced. Seedless grapes miss out on the benefits of the seeds.

Juice Blues with Blueberries

Getting the blues with your juice can happen, especially with this one. Whilst making this juice you may get blue stained fingers and lips from the juicing and drinking, so be careful in your preparation.

Ingredients:
* 4 pears
* 2 cups blueberries
* 7-8 apricots
* ½ cup hazelnuts
* add some water

Machine set up:
* First place the living juicer Juicing Strainer into the drum and onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counter clockwise onto notch 0.
* Place your Juice Pitcher under the Juice Outlet and place the other pitcher under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the pulp.
* Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.

Preparation instructions:
* slice the pineapple into 5 thin slices
* slice the pear into 4 parts
* wash blueberries thoroughly
* then juice the pear on notch 1
* then juice the pineapple and the blueberries on notch 2
* grind the nuts in the mincer on notch 2 and add them to the mixture

Preparation time: 10 min

Yields: 2 glasses

Preparation hints:
Be careful with blueberry stains. Use a hard pear and juice it with the seeds and peal. Select a ripe pineapple that smells sweet on the outside. Decorate with a cranberry or a strawberry at the rim, as the color matches well.

Nutritional information:
Pears have a lot of carbohydrates, sulfur, pectin, calcium and many more vitamins. They have a cleansing effect on the skin and can act as a very light laxative. Blueberries are a good source of vitamin C and dietary fiber.

Tommy Tomato

Tomatoes have the most delicious taste. They are used all over the world to enhance the flavor of dishes. The tomato originated in the Andes in South America and was brought to Europe in the 16th century. Its eating qualities have been widely recognized since the early 19th century. Today the tomato is the second most consumed fruit and vegetable after the potato.

Ingredients:
* 10 tomatoes
* ½ red capsicum
* 10 chives
* ½ cup macadamia nuts
* pinch of sea salt and black pepper

Machine set up:
* First place the living juicer Juicing Strainer into the drum onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counter clockwise onto notch 0.
* Place your Juice Pitcher under the Juice Outlet and place the other pitcher under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the pulp.
* Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.

Preparation instructions:
* cut each tomato into 4 pieces
* juice the vegetables alternating with the herbs on notch 1
* grind the macadamia nuts with the mincing strainer and stir them into the juice
* season with sea salt and black pepper

Preparation time: 10 min

Yields: 2 glasses

Preparation hints:
I prefer to use fleshy tomatoes, the ones you can use for cooking as well. For the best taste, use Roma tomatoes. Tomatoes in general are hard to juice. The Oscar does it incredibly well compared to other juicers, which often can’t do it at all. Be patient and juice the pulp again if you find it is too moist. It is worth the effort, as a fresh tomato juice tastes so delicious. Season with salt and pepper and serve with a black straw on ice, yum.

Nutritional information:
Tomatoes have vitamin A, B1, B2, B3, C, E, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, folic acid, calcium and sodium. They are known liver cleansers and assist in fatigue syndromes. Chives taste like a miniature onion and are a good source of iron, dietary fiber and vitamins. Eaten in such small amounts, the flavor is the most significant part of this herb. Pepper comes originally from India and is used mainly for its sharp bite, flavor and color. Sea salt in small quantities is a good source of sodium.

Vitamin C Thriller with Grapefruits

When you feel a cold is on the run, quickly grab yourself this juice twice a day! The best thing is to feed the whole family and friends with this juice so their immune system gets a little help as well. Usually when your body needs a particular substance to stay healthy it will love the taste of the food containing that particular substance. It’s not uncommon to develop an urge to drink this juice when you feel a bit run down or stressed.

Ingredients:
* 2 yellow grapefruits
* slice of ginger
* 2-3 green apples
* slice of lemon

Machine set up:
* First place the living juicer Juicing Strainer into the drum, then onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counter clockwise onto notch 0.
* Place your Juice Pitcher under the Juice Outlet and place the other pitcher under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the pulp.
* Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.

Preparation instructions:
* cut the apples into 6 pieces and remove the core
* peal the grapefruits and leave the pithy white part on
* juice the fruits with the ginger going in first on notch 2

Preparation time: 10 min

Yields: 2 glasses

Preparation hints:
If you need to make a large amount of this juice you can juice 1-2 liters at once and keep it in the fridge for at least 24 hours without loosing any of its original flavors. If the screen gets clogged while you are juicing, stop the machine, remove the strainer, rinse off the screen and keep on juicing. This hardly ever happens though, and you will notice it when the amount of juice coming from the juicing Outlet decreases.

Nutritional information:
Grapefruits improve the permeability and strength of the capillary walls. It assists with the break down of mucus and fever in coughs, colds, flu and sore throats. Apples help to build resistance to infections. The pectin they contain absorbs toxins in the gut and helps with their elimination.

Grab the Fruit Smoothie

This is a very soothing, refreshing, vitalizing and rejuvenating combination.  This juice puts a twinkle in your eye and gives you good looks and pleasantly fresh breath. A great drink before a dance party when you want to be fit and stunningly good looking.

Ingredients:
* 3 pink grapefruits
* a few mint leaves
* 2 kiwifruits

Machine set up:
* First place the living juicer Juicing Strainer into the drum, onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counter clockwise onto notch 0.
* Place your Juice Pitcher under the Juice Outlet and place the other pitcher under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the pulp.
* Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.

Preparation instructions:
* peal the grapefruits and slice the kiwifruits in 4 pieces lengthwise
* turn the notch on the Juicing Nozzle to 1
* juice the kiwifruits first and then the grapefruits
* to get the maximum juice from the mint leaves, push them inside a slice of kiwifruit and juice them together

Preparation time: 10 min

Yields: 2 glasses

Preparation hints: the white part of the grapefruit on if you wish to have a creamier juice, which is rich in bioflavonoids. You can juice the kiwi with the peal if you like. For decoration use a thin slice of kiwifruit with the peal and let it hang on the rim of your glass. Then roll a mint leave into a roll and stick it into the kiwifruit slice. This decoration looks complicated but is really simple to make.

Nutritional information:
Grapefruit is another vitamin C thriller. It also contains other goodies such as vitamin B complex, vitamin E, biotin, folic acid, pectin, inositol and bioflavonoids. Bioflavonoids assist in the vitamin C uptake and it is therefore useful to leave the white part on for the juicing of citrus fruits, rich in vitamin C. Kiwifruit is also rich in vitamin C and contains magnesium, calcium, potassium and phosphorus.

Summer Kisses with Watermelon

Watermelon is a great juicing fruit that leaves hardly any pulp at all.  It’s best consumed on its own as a starter in the morning, an hour before your first snack or before breakfast. Watermelon stimulates the appetite and due to the high natural fructose content it will get you moving immediately.

Ingredients:
* ½ watermelon
* slice of lime
* ½ tsp cold-washed honey

Machine set up:
* First place the living juicer Juicing Strainer into the drum, onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counter clockwise onto notch 0.
* Place your Juice Pitcher under the Juice Outlet and place the other pitcher under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the pulp.
* Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.

Preparation instructions:
* cut the watermelon in long thick slices
* peal the lime
* juice the watermelon with the lime on notch 2
* stir honey into the mixture

Preparation time: 8 min

Yields: 2 glasses

Preparation hints:
Selecting the right watermelon requires a little practice. Usually a ripe watermelon is heavy for its size and when you hit it with your knuckles it makes a hollow sound. If you are not sure what to do, ask a shop assistant until you are an expert yourself. Using forest or wild bush honey with a strong flavor can turn this juice into a taste sensation!

Nutritional information:
Watermelon contains vitamin A, C, B1, B2, B3, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and many enzymes. It helps eliminate excessive uric acid and flushes the kidneys and bladder. Substances in honey act as natural antiseptics. Lime is a well-known source of vitamin C.

Mango Mania

This is a richly flavored juice from the tropics. The ingredients are commonly sold in most countries over the world and the taste of the tropics is a taste of nature that our body craves. These fruits are the gourmet fruits on God’s dining table, designed to inspire the cells of our body to vibrate in the rich pulse-beat of the tropics.

Ingredients:
* 2 mangos
* 4 oranges
* 2 passion fruits

Machine set up:
* First place the living juicer Juicing Strainer into the drum, onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap, turning it counter clockwise onto notch 0.
* Place your Juice Pitcher under the Juice Outlet and place the other pitcher under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the pulp.
* Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.

Preparation instructions:
* juice the mangos and the oranges on notch 1
* remove the passion fruit pulp and stir it well under the juice

Preparation time: 8 min

Yields: 2 glasses

Preparation hints:
Choose firm mangos and mandarins if available during the same season to compliment the soft taste of the fruit. A fresh passion fruit has a very moist and juicy pulp, so choose one that is still firm on the outside. For the hardcore gourmet, a teaspoon of orange rind mixed into the juice or sprinkled on top as a decoration adds a mouthwatering bitterness to the tropical sweetness of this juice. If you find the pulp too moist, let it run through the machine a second time.

Nutritional information:
Mangos contain anti-oxidants and flavonoids, vitamin C, A and beta-carotene. They are a strong support to a healthy immune system. Passion fruit is also high in vitamin C and A. Its other properties help to reduce eye infections.

Pina Colada

The pineapple is my favorite fruit. When I still drank a cocktail now and then, it had to be Pina Colada. Today the pleasure of having a cocktail have ceased and new pleasures have come along. Pina Colada is one of them. For fans of the effect of alcohol, this is a good cocktail base!

Ingredients:
* ½ ripe pineapple
* juice of 2 fresh coconuts

Machine set up:
* First place the living juicer Juicing Strainer into the drum, onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counter clockwise onto notch 0.
* Place your Juice Pitcher under the Juice Outlet and place the other pitcher under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the pulp.
* Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.

Preparation instructions:
* cut the pineapple into 6 slices and remove the peal and core
* use notch 2 for juicing the pineapple
* then pour the fresh coconut juice into the pineapple juice
* scoop the coconut and stir the sliced coconut meat into the juice

Preparation time: 6 min

Yields: 2 glasses

Preparation hints:
A very ripe pineapple, almost overripe is most delicious for this recipe. Cut the coconut meat into long, fine strings and let them float in the juice. A triangle chunk of pineapple squeezed onto the rim of the glass with a cocktail umbrella makes this summer drink a must.

Nutritional information:
Pineapple is rich in vitamin C, chlorine, fruit acids and bromelain. It aids digestion and balances the body’s acidity and alkalinity homeostasis. Coconut meat provides vegetable oil, fiber and when eaten fresh, the mainly saturated fats in the coconut do not harm the body in the way heated saturated fats do.

Rhubarb Juice

Although rhubarb is not one of the known vitamin hits, I feel if a fruit exists and you enjoy its taste it has fulfilled its function. Rhubarb has been cultivated for thousands of years in the East.

Ingredients:
* 4 apples
* 1 small stalk rhubarb
* 2 pears

Machine set up:

* Place your Juice Pitcher under the Juice Outlet and place the other pitcher under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the pulp.
* Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.

Preparation instructions:
* cut the apples and pears into 6 slices and remove the core.
* juice the rhubarb first on notch 2 and then the apples and pears

Preparation time: 8 min

Yields: 2 glasses

Preparation hints:
Rhubarb is very sour so use the amounts with care. Don’t juice rhubarb leaves as they contain oxalic acid and are therefore quite toxic.

Nutritional information:
Rhubarb is not particularly known for a great deal of vitamins and minerals. However rhubarb has been cultivated for thousands of years in the Himalayas for pharmaceutical properties, acting as a light laxative and astringent.

* 2 cups of strawberries
* 1 cup of water

Machine set up:

Cocktail with strawberries

Have you seen the movie “Cocktail”? This drink is best enjoyed on a paradise island overlooking the bay. If for some reason you find you have other commitments, having this drink chilled on your balcony will do just as well. It’s a delight, especially during strawberry season when you can pick the ripest, most delicious strawberries yourself.

Ingredients:
*  juice of 2 fresh coconuts
*  ½ cup of strawberries
*  2 oranges

Machine set up:
* On your living juicer, first place the Juicing Strainer into the drum and onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counter clockwise onto notch 0.
*  Place your Juice Pitcher under the Juice Outlet and place the other pitcher under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the pulp.
*  Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.

Preparation instructions:
*  juice the oranges and the strawberries on notch 1
*  then pour the fresh coconut water into your juice pitcher and stir the mix

Preparation time: 8 min

Yields: 2 glasses

Preparation hints:
This juice mix is very thin and for that reason I remove the pithy part of the oranges for this recipe to keep this thin consistency rather than a foamy one. I also use the sieve to remove all the fibers. The tiny and hard strawberries with a shiny skin are best to use and a whole strawberry with its green hat looks yummy as a decoration on the rim of the glass. Served chilled or with ice cubes, this drink makes a beautiful cocktail without the alcoholic side effects. Enjoy!

Nutritional information:
Scientifically, coconut water doesn’t have much nutritional value except potassium. It also has little fat and often when drinking this juice I think it must contain some wonderful ingredient that science hasn’t discovered yet.  Strawberries are rich in vitamin C.

Granny’s Apple Juice

Imagine a cold winter evening, the smell of cinnamon in the house and a warm, sweet apple tea in front of the fire of granny’s living room. Well, in Living Food nutrition, miracles happen. It is an art to change ones’ food habit but it is not as hard as you think it would be!

Ingredients:
*  6 apples
*  small piece of ginger
*  slice of lemon (remove the peel to get a sweeter flavor)

Machine set up:
*  Using a living juicer,  first place the Juicing Strainer into the drum, then onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counter clockwise onto notch 0.
*  Place your Juice Pitcher under the Juice Outlet and place the other pitcher under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the pulp.

Preparation instructions:
*  cut each apple into 6 slices and remove the core
*  mix the honey and the cinnamon powder with the sliced apples
*  juice the mixture together on notch 2
*  peal and juice the lemon together with the ginger into a separate container adding as much as you like into the apple juice for personal flavoring

Preparation time: 10 min

Yields: 2 glasses

Preparation hints:
I like to use apples with red skin in this recipe, especially the autumn season ones that are nice and sweet. If you really desire to have a warm drink - don’t heat above 50 degrees.  For decoration, let a small piece of cinnamon stick float in each glass like a piece of bark. Serve it in a teacup with a pot of honey on the table in case someone has a very sweet tooth that day.  You could also use a cinnamon stick per glass for stirring. This juice is easy to store over night.

Nutritional information:
Apples are known to assist with building resistance to infection. Ginger has been documented as being used in China some 2500 years ago and is very helpful in preventing colds and flu.

Dracula’s Punch: fruit juice with apples, raspberries & grapes

The dark red color is just as inviting as the exotic taste of this juice. Sweet and sour compliment each other in a delightful way and make this juice rather addictive. A natural high without having to drink blood!

Ingredients:
*  2 apples
*  1 cup of raspberries
*  2 cups of black grapes

Machine set up:
*  Use a living juicer to maximize the enzymes and health benefits.
* First place the Juicing Strainer into the drum and onto the screw.  Then attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap, turning it counter clockwise onto notch 0.
*  Place your Juice Pitcher under the Juice Outlet and place the other pitcher under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet, in order to catch the pulp.
*  Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.

Preparation instructions:
*  cut the apples into 6 slices and remove the core
*  turn the notch on the Juicing Nozzle to 1
*  then juice the apples, alternating with the grapes and raspberries
*  make sure to keep 2 slices of apple until the end, they will clean out the softer leftovers of the berries inside the drum

Preparation time: 8 min

Yields: 2 glasses

Preparation hints:
Crisp apples juice much easier than over ripe apples.  The best time to make fresh apple juices is when they are in when the apples are harvested totally fresh. The seeds of the raspberries don’t disturb the juice but you might want to consider using seedless grapes for this recipe if you are sensitive to finer tastes. Grapes with seeds are part of Mother Nature’s original product and contain valuable phosphorus. The decision is up to you and you may change from day to day as your taste buds vary. To decorate your drink, hang two grapes from the rim of your glass.

Nutritional information:
Apples are known to assist the body in building resistance to infection as they stimulate the digestion. They are also known to help with weight loss. Berries help to keep the blood alkaline.

LETTUCE JUICE

Lettuce is a great base juice to be mixed with any other herb or green vegetable. The darker its color the higher nutritional value and the more chlorophyll is contained in the leaves. Mustard greens have similar benefits to watercress but their taste is due to the sharper mustard oil.

Ingredients:
* ½ head lettuce
* small bunch of snow pea sprouts
* even smaller bunch of mustard or beetroot greens
* water

Machine set up:
* First place the living juicer Juicing Strainer into the drum, onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counter clockwise onto notch 0.
* Place your Juice Pitcher under the Juice Outlet and place the other pitcher under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the pulp.
* Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.
Preparation instructions
* cut lettuce into long slices
* turn the notch on the Juicing Nozzle to 2
* juice the mustard greens at the same time with the snow pea sprouts and the lettuce by slightly wrapping it around the sliced lettuce

Preparation time: 10 min

Yields: 2 glasses

Preparation hints:
Mustard greens are also valuable in salads. Be careful with the burning sensation of the mustard oil when the greens are made into juice. To avoid irritation of any kind, never drink it on its own. Select firm and crisp lettuce such as Cos or Romaine to get a good amount of juice. Add as much water as you like to the juice.

Nutritional information:
Cos lettuce originated from the island of Cos in Greece and is rich in natural sodium, which makes it one of the most beneficial juices for conditions affecting the adrenal glands. Mustard greens are rich in sulfur and add to a normal regeneration of the blood. Fresh snow pea sprouts are high in living enzymes when consumed as soon as possible after harvesting.

FROG POND JUICE

This juice has so many benefits that it appears to me like a frog pond. Look at a healthy ecological little pond in perfect equilibrium and its stunning beauty. That’s how nature works in harmony and how man originally functions. Living juices are part of our nature making us strong and healthy and which assists us in restoring our perfect equilibrium.

Ingredients:
* 1 green capsicum
* 7 endives
* some parsley
* ½ sweet potato
* ½ cup of water

Machine set up:
* First place the living juicer Juicing Strainer into the drum, onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counter clockwise onto notch 0.
* Place your Juice Pitcher under the Juice Outlet and place the other pitcher under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the pulp.
* Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.
Preparation instructions:
* slice the capsicum and remove the seeds
* cut the endives into long slices
* juice everything on notch 2 alternating with the parsley

Preparation time: 8 min

Yields: 2 glasses

Preparation hints:
Juicing the herbs first, then the endive and then the capsicum for efficiency.

Nutritional information:

Green capsicum contains a lot of vitamin C, A, potassium and silicon. Silicon is good for nails and hair. It can relieve flatulence and excess wind. Parsley contains more vitamin C than citrus fruits. It is a high source of chlorophyll, calcium, magnesium and iron. The combination of the two is perfect as parsley supports loose stools, indigestion and malabsorption of foods.

GARDEN JUICE

The combination of watercress, spinach and carrots makes an ideal drink to increase blood oxygenation.

Ingredients:
* handful watercress
* 4 leaves bok choy
* slice of onion
* 4-5 carrots

Machine set up:
* First place the living juicer Juicing Strainer into the drum onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counter clockwise onto notch 0.
* Place your Juice Pitcher under the Juice Outlet and place the other pitcher under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the pulp.
* Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.

Preparation instructions:
* turn the notch on the Juicing Nozzle to 2
* then juice the carrots alternating with the bok choy and watercress
* now juice the onion and stir mixture

Preparation time: 8 min

Yields: 2 glasses

Preparation hints:
Preferably collect watercress in a stream close to your home. In other cases watercress is usually available in supermarkets with the herbs and sprouts. If you can’t find watercress, inspire the management of your local supermarket to start offering some. Watercress is also wonderful in salads, soups and on bread. Feed the carrots by the thin end first.

Nutritional information:
Watercress is exceedingly rich in sulfur, phosphorus and chlorine. It is a very good intestinal cleanser and is best not taken alone, as it is very acid forming. Bok choy is a very vital food for the stomach, duodenum and the small and large intestines. Raw bok choy acts as a cleanser of the intestines as it reconstructs and regenerates the intestinal linings. It is rich in calcium, iron, folic acid, zinc, carotene and many more minerals.

SNOW WHITE WITH RADISH

This is a light drink, which is great after exercise or before going to a dance party. It is wonderfully refreshing. Because radish salad is my favorite salad, I designed the much easier drinkable white radish drink for days when I don’t feel like having a salad or I am short on time.

Ingredients:
* ½ white radish
* 1 small celery stalk if wanted
* ½ cucumber

Machine set up:
* First place the living juicer Juicing Strainer into the drum, onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counter clockwise onto notch 0.
* Place your Juice Pitcher under the Juice Outlet and place the other pitcher under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the pulp.
* Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.

Preparation instructions:
* juice the radish and the celery on notch 2
* juice the cucumber on notch 1
* stir

Preparation time: 8 min
Yields: 2 glasses

Preparation hints:
Buy organic fresh radishes, as they are usually milder in flavor. Peal the cucumber if you want a very mild tasting juice or leave it on for more nutrients. Radish helps cleansing the body of mucus from the lungs and sinuses and for this reason I prepare it just before I go to do a workout.

Nutritional information:
Radish is high in potassium, sodium, magnesium and iron. It helps restore the mucus membranes in the body. Celery is rich in vitamin C, magnesium, iron and sodium. Its natural combination of organic minerals is excellent to help the body restore to normalcy.

CUPID'S CAPSICUM SHOT

Red is the color of the heart, a color that the eye is highly sensitive to and a color that inspires appetite. Just as Cupid shoots his arrow into the heart of lovers, this capsicum juice will shoot its arrows of delicious taste into the heart of your taste buds.  Red capsicum is one of our favorite vegetables because its flavor is outstanding and it can be used easily to create a wonderful taste sensation. This juice reminds me how simple and magnificent God’s creation really is. Add a touch of chili to this juice and you are on fire with this delightful indulgence.

Ingredients:
* 1 dark red fresh capsicums
* 4 medium carrots
* ¼ of a fresh chilli husk or a pinch of chilli powder
* pinch of black pepper powder

Machine set up:
* First place the Oscar or Hippocrates Juicing Strainer into the drum, then onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counter clockwise onto notch 0.
* Place your Juice Pitcher under the Juice Outlet and place the other pitcher under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the pulp.
* Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.

Preparation instructions:
* juice the capsicum and the carrots on notch 2
* juice the chilli husk separately if you are not sure how much heat you can take
* mix both together according to taste and sprinkle with black pepper powder

Preparation time: 5 min

Yields: 2 glasses

Preparation hints:
You can prepare this juice as an appetizer for a dinner party several hours before you serve it. Fill the juice in tall glasses and decorate the rim of the glass with a fresh chili husk by slicing it open in the middle with a knife. Add one ice cube into each glass just before serving and sprinkle with black pepper. You can grind peppercorns yourself in your Living Food Processor. It’s going to get the party going!

Nutritional information:
Red capsicum is rich in vitamin A, C, potassium and silicon. It reduces risk of cardiovascular diseases by assisting in the prevention of blood clot formations. Chili is a stimulant for the whole system and is rumored to increase passion.

NEFERTITI’S BEAUTY SECRET WITH ALOE VERA

Nefertiti was also an Egyptian queen maintaining an unlined face and youthful complexion until very old age. She bathed in aloe vera juice and drank it. However it was the Greek and Romans that provided a more specific documentation on the healing properties of aloe vera.  Try this variation of aloe vera juice to see if it might suit you better than the first one.

Ingredients:
* 1 orange
* 1 inch long piece of aloe vera
* small slice of ginger

Machine set up:
* First place the living juicer Juicing Strainer into the drum, then onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counter clockwise onto notch 0.
* Place your Juice Pitcher under the Juice Outlet and place the other pitcher under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the pulp.
* Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.

Preparation instructions:
* juice the aloe vera first on notch 1
* then juice the orange and the ginger on notch 2

Preparation time: 5 min

Yields: 50 ml

Preparation hints:
Always juice the aloe vera first. Its consistency tends to stick to the screw and juicing the orange afterwards easily cleanses out any leftovers.  If you like to change the taste at times, add a piece of celery to the juice.

Nutritional information:
Medical practitioners, applying aloe juice externally on to patient’s insect bites, bruises, boils, and other skin abrasions, have also used aloe vera. Always consult your physician first if you consider using aloe vera on any severe skin irritation.

CLEOPATRA’S BEAUTY SECRET WITH ALOE VERA

It wouldn’t surprise me if the legend is true about Cleopatra drinking Aloe Vera juice every day. She also bathed in it to moisten her skin.  If you want to add the aloe vera bath gel to your beauty care, make double the amount of juice and pour it into your bathtub or rub it into your skin before bathing. Slice some cucumber and place on your face to relax even more; it is really worth a try.

Ingredients:
* 1 inch long piece of fresh aloe vera
* 1 cup cucumber
* herbs

Machine set up:
* First place the living juicer Juicing Strainer into the drum, and onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counter clockwise onto notch 0.
* Place your Juice Pitcher under the Juice Outlet and place the other pitcher under the machines Pulp Discharge Outlet in order to catch the pulp.
* Always be sure to start the machine before you enter anything into the Guide and keep the machine running until finished.

Preparation instructions
* take a piece of aloe vera from your garden, cut a small chunk off preferably from the middle part and wash thoroughly
* cut the cucumber into long slices
* take a small bunch of herbs you would like to juice, for example, parsley
* turn the notch on the Juicing Nozzle onto 1, and push the  herbs and the aloe vera into the guide first, then the cucumber
* stir

Preparation time: 5 min

Yields: 50 ml

Preparation hints:
Aloe vera grows in great abundance in warmer countries and is easy to find. You can keep a leaf in the fridge for over a week and slice off a piece every day. The fresh juice is thick in consistency and some people don’t get used to it. Looked at it as a vitamin pill like wheat grass that you drink quickly. Nevertheless a two-week beauty fast with aloe vera juice in the morning as an additional step, gives your skin great nourishment. Cucumber is also a skin cleanser. Leave the skin on to get the maximum nutrients that cucumber has to offer.

Nutritional information:
Aloe vera is a natural healer, its use dating back more then 4000 years. Aloe has countless healing and protective powers and scientific research has shown that it acts as an anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-puritic, moisturizer, regenerator and detoxifier. In 1992, J.C. Pittman found that aloe vera acts as a stimulant on the immune system. It seems too good to be true but consuming one glass of this juice daily can help prevent diseases and supports your well being enormously.

Nutritional information:
Fennel assists you as a mild sedative and in falling asleep. Fennel has been shown to reduce and control inflammation of arthritis. It also evens mood fluctuation and depressive states. Fennel has the rare nutrient called manganese, contains zinc and vitamin B complex, which makes it a very valuable choice for juicing.

DANDELION JUICE

Dandelion was used by our forefathers as a salad green and powerful healing herb. Its use has been reestablished once again and dandelion can now be found for free in parks and meadows or even in your back garden. The taste of Dandelion is rich and invigorating and your body will be thankful for this taste experience. Combine it with a clove of garlic and you’ll definitely be on the right track to boosting your health.

Ingredients:
* 8 dandelion leaves, green and the roots
*  6 carrots
*  ½ stalk celery
*  small bunch of pine needles
*  ½ clove of garlic (optional)

Machine set up:
*  Maximise the health benefits by using a living juicer.

*  First place the Juicing Strainer into the drum, then onto the screw. Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly. Then screw the Juicing Nozzle onto the drum cap turning it counter clockwise onto notch 0.

Preparation hints:
When you pick your Dandelion be sure to give it a good rinse. The darker leaves are more bitter than the young ones. Bitterness is a taste that we can identify with our taste buds. I often experience a yearning for bitter taste since I started eating and juicing herbs and find it a highly satisfying taste. Use the youngest pine needles from the top tips of the little branches.

Nutritional information:
Carrots are known to have a lot of anti-oxidant properties and they assist in breaking down excessive fats. Dandelion strengthens the immune system, has anti-inflammatory properties and is a good kidney and liver cleanser.

GRASSHOPPER

Fresh juice with mandarins, pineapple & spinach. Not only does this juice taste terrific, it also has a consistency that is creamy, much like a delicious milk shake.

Ingredients:
* 6 mandarins or 2 oranges
* ½ pineapple
* 6 spinach leaves

Machine set up:
* Use a living juicer to maximize health benefits.                                                                                                                                  * First place the Juicing Strainer into the drum and onto the screw.  Attach the drum cap onto the end of the drum by turning it counter clockwise until you feel it sits firmly.

*  juice a mix of oranges, pineapple and spinach on notch 2

Preparation time: 8 min

Yields: 2 glasses

Preparation hints:
Some people like this recipe as natural as possible. If you don’t mind a very strong flavor just slice the pineapple into 5 long slices and juice it with the skin! I personally remove the skin and the hard part in the middle.  However, this does not change the flavor and can be put through the machine without any trouble. It is better to wrap the spinach around a slice of orange rather then juicing the leaves on its own.

Pierce three pineapple leaves of different lengths with a tooth pick and place these on the rim of a cocktail glass to make a remarkable decoration.

Nutritional information:
Pineapples contain bromelain, a digestive enzyme that is helpful for good digestion. Pineapples are found to help the body detoxify in a very gentle way.
