Getting rid of toxins through healthy juicing

MANILA, Philippines - Each day, the body is attacked by thousands of toxins from food, air, electronic devices, etc., and the list could continue forever. Toxicity is a general term used to indicate adverse effects produced by poisons. These adverse effects can range from slight symptoms like headaches or nausea.

How does the body fight back?

At a recent trade show for mothers, Zinven International Corp., exclusive distributor of the Hurom slow juicer, did a showcase for Hurom, a popular brand for slow juicing.

A juice and smoothie workshop was conducted by Hurom’s chef Marie Gonzales who shared insights on the effects of toxins to the human body and how people can somehow get rid of this problem.

These toxins can be flushed out from the body when people eat or drink more veggies and fruits.

And one effective, healthy way is through slow juicing.

According to Gonzales, a healthy food or juice recipe should have 50 percent leafy greens and 25 percent other vegetables, while a smoothie should be 40 percent greens and 60 percent fruits.

The Hurom Premium Slow Juicer and Smoothie Maker, with its brand new patented Pulp Control Lever and Juice Cap, allows users to easily make juices in addition to nutritious smoothies made with frozen fruit, mixed drinks, and purees.

And with Hurom’s Slow Squeezing Technology, it produces 70 percent more juice compared to other juicers. Juice that’s gently squeezed, not chopped by high-speed rotating blades, results in purer juice and better nutrition.

The Hurom Slow Juicer is available at Rustan’s, Landmark, S&R, Abenson, Wilcon, SM, Handyman, Robinsons, FairNSquare Emporium, Puregold, Shop TV (817-7000), and Tele V shop (Call 02 426-0600 for deliveries in Metro Manila and other parts of the country).
