Book Reviews of The Juicing Bible
Book Review: What a difference.....
Summary: 5 Stars
Recently, while home recovering from surgery and an infection, I decided to really "live" what I've been getting paid for to help my clients do. I've been a nurse over 27 years and a nutritional/fitness consultant for the last 2 years. I knew the infection itself was wreaking havoc on my body and organs. But the antibiotics I had to take, were far worse in making me feel "sick", than the infection or the surgery. I needed and very much wanted to re-boot, clear my cache, in other words, "detox", so when the infection was gone, I could begin again with a clean slate.
So I decided to detox by juicing. It would be the first time for me. Total juicing newby. Enter one Hamilton Beach 67650 Big Mouth Pro Juice Extractor.
At the same time, I found the Juicing Bible. I was quite impressed with the way this book is written. The authors give you information on so much more than "just juicing". The recipes are fabulous and the tips to the side of the page help to make things very easy to do and understand.
My favorite "tool" within the book is the chapter, To Your Health, where she specifies many different conditions/illnesses/diseases and gives you nicely detailed descriptions/how to's for each one. But the icing on the cake is the listing of juices, smoothies, teas and other recipes recommended for that particular condition/illness/disease.
I've made several different recipes so far and although I wasn't crazy about one of them, if you're a creative type, (or even a newby like me), you can modify the recipes by adding something similar, or by simply omitting the item. The combinations are endless.
As a total novice in juicing I found the Juicing Bible to be well written, user friendly and an awesome resource.
Book Review: Outdated and Bias
Summary: 1 Stars
A lot of the information suggests diets and foods that are not acceptable for everyone. They push macrobiotic and raw diets which are not the best. Many vegetables (such as tomatoes) need to be heated at a particular temperature enable to reach their full nutritional value. Also this book suggests many soy-based products, when in reality soy was created as an easy substitute to cow-dairy and is extremely processed. Many consumers are unaware of the fact that soy is very toxic to the body and is only nutritional when fermented (tempeh or miso). Someone who is allergic to cow-dairy should try goat-diary. Goat cells are smaller and easier for humans to digest, and has far more nutritional value and no allergens that cow diary is exposed to.Book Review: Allot of drinks & tonics to help all sorts of problems.
Summary: 5 Stars
This Book has a table of contents (not in the very beginning of the book) of all sorts of different health problems and diseases. It tells you what you can do to help to fix that disorder and the different drinks, tonics, ext. you can make to help your situation. MY only comclaint is with the layout in that the table of contents should be at the beginning of the book, but once you find them the book is very easy and very fun to use. I red what people have said about the measuring, but I have no problems with it and the book offers allot of imfo. I can use both types of measuring if the people who are complaining can't figure it out I feel sorry for them > It is real easy and a real nice book. I bought one not only for me but for my friend.Book Review: Juicing Bible
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is great. The Juicing Bible contained all of the information I have been looking for. It contains more than just juicing recipes, but also breaks down what to stay away from as well as uses for herbs, fruits, and vegetables in relation to a specific ailment for example diabetes or female infertility. The recipes are so simple to follow that my children even make thier own smoothies, and they are both delicious and healthy recipes. If you are not in the mood for juicing or a smoothy, The Juicing Bible also has simple recipes for tea as well.Book Review: You Like-a the Juice?
Summary: 4 Stars
The Juicing Bible has been a handy companion to my new juicer. Veggie recipies are tasty, and there are some interesting non- juicing recipies as well.My main gripe is this: No exact measurements are given. If a recipe calls for 3 carrots, in my opinion, it should give a weight measurement as well. Have you ever seen an organic carrot next to a supermarket carrot? Or better yet, the huge carrots that are used in juice bars? There's such a difference. I need a little more precision until I become a juicing expert myself.
