Oscar Juice Extractor

Easily one of the healthiest fast foods around, juices are a great way to power up your body with a vast array of vitamins and minerals. Preparing a fresh juice was once a tedious business - a citrus press, 10 oranges and a lot of arm work later and you’d have squeezed enough for a teensy glass.

“Drinking a fresh juice is like having a blood transfusion full of antioxidants, minerals and vitamins,” says Saimaa Khan, naturopath, herbalist and owner of The Last Resort Wellbeing centre in Sydney’s Bondi. “When we juice, the fibre of the fruit or vegetable is taken out, so concentrated nutrients can reach our cells within 20 minutes,” she says. Sarita Merlo is a naturopath and herbalist in Byron Bay. She says that juices are a great way to boost your body with enzymes. “Enzymes are the catalysts for many chemical reactions that occur in the body. They are seen as the `life-promoting elements’ in food, essential for digestion and food absorption, as well as for the production of cellular energy.”

A true living food processor that delivers living juice needs to be effective at crushing and squeezing the cell wall of the fruit or vegetable to release vital enzymes and nutrients.

This single gear auger type juicer produces a quality juice from all types of wheat grasses. Fifteen pounds of fresh wheatgrass is equivalent in nutritional value to 350 pounds of the best vegetables. Spelt grass, barley grass, kamut grass, pine needles, olive leaves and aloe can also be processed through the VitalMax with fantastic results.
