Vita-Mix and Best Blender Verses the Best Juicers
June 30, 2009
by Judy Dolan
Which is better -- Vita-Mix and the best blender choicesor the best juicers? This is really a trick question. The answer is both! Vita-Mix and other high quality power blenders as well as juicers have their own purposes, advantages and disadvantages. First of all, blending and juicing are two separate things. Vita-Mix and other high performance blenders do not remove the juice. They break down and cut the fibrous plant materials unlike juicers that extract juice from the fibers. By the way, if you are serious about juicing and want a juicer to last, it is best to use one of the best juicers of high quality. The advantages of juicing over blending include:
- Fast absorption
- Fast nutritional value
- Greater quantity of nutrients than eating or drinking whole foods (without overeating) and
- Fast healing potential
The fast absorption is due to the lack of fiber allowing the juice to bypass digestion. Nutrients are concentrated due to the removal of the fiber thus allowing more nutrients to be consumed and absorbed in a shorter period of time. This promotes healing, but unless you are going through a temporary juice fast, an appropriate amount of fiber is desirable in the diet as well.
Vita-Mix, considered by many to be nothing more than a glorified blender, is really much more than that. It is one of the best food processor machines available. Vita-Mix and some of the top performing blenders are multifunctional performing many tasks some of which are listed below. Some of the best blender and Vita-Mix models incorporate fiber valuable for digestion into the recipes to make
- Smoothie recipes
- Protein shakes
- Sorbets as well as
- Cook soup and
- Knead dough
/li>In conclusion, Vita-Mix and other high performance blenders complement juicers. In order to maximize healing, it is advisable to juice using traditional juicers for fast, concentrated nutrients. Also, using a Vita-Mix or another high performance blender helps to incorporate more fiber and healing foods into the diet. This fiber helps
- slow digestion
- improve digestion
- prevent constipation
- reduce elevated blood sugar levels and
- reduce the risk of heart disease
