NS Society Monthly: Habits and Support

<div>NS Society Monthly class is about habits, support, and accountability.</div>
<div>Making lasting change, routines, and accomplishing goals take practice and small steps to creating new habits. We’re two months into the New Year and were overwhelmed with questions from the NS Society members about how to continue to stay on track, how to find support with their family and friends, and one member as a new mom asks how to take the time to take care of herself.</div>
<h3>In this NS Society Monthly Class McKel answers…</h3>
<p><iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/318103875" width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<div>Melissa asked: I feel like I don’t have any support with my new goals that I’m trying to add to my life – how do I stay strong and motivated?</div>
<div>Jamie asked: I went on vacation and now all my habits and goals are gone! How do I get back on track?</div>
<div>Sarah asked: I have so many negative habits like sleeping with the TV on which I know I’m not supposed to do, mindless snacking late at night, and drinking heavily on the weekends when I’m out with friends. I feel like I should do better and don’t know where to start.</div>
<div>Jen asked: I have all these goals I want to accomplish but I have no idea how to start and now it just feels too overwhelming. What plan I can follow?</div>
<div>Alicia asked: I have a really stressful job, I’m a new mom, and caretaker of another family member. I’m feeling so overwhelmed and have no time for myself. How do I real my goals of weight loss to my pre-pregnancy weight?</div>

How the Hallelujah Diet Can Help Improve the Appearance of Your Skin

<p><a href="https://www.myhdiet.com/what-is-the-hallelujah-diet-and-why-does-it-work/">The Hallelujah Diet is an entirely plant-based way to eating</a> that improves your health, boosts your immune system, lowers disease risks, and may add years to your life! The Hallelujah Diet can even improve the appearance of your skin, helping you look years younger. Knowing more about how the Hallelujah Diet restores a youthful appearance may encourage you to try it today!</p>
<h2><strong>#1 It’s Loaded with Antioxidants</strong></h2>
<p>The Hallelujah Diet is loaded with antioxidants, which reduce skin damage associated with aging by fighting oxidative stress. Examples of antioxidants present in large amounts in the Hallelujah Diet (and its supplements) include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Vitamin C</li>
<li>Vitamin E</li>
<li>Vitamin A</li>
<li>Beta-carotene</li>
<li>Lycopene</li>
<li>Selenium</li>
<li>Lutein</li>
</ul>
<p>Antioxidants might even protect your skin against the sun’s harmful rays, and <a href="https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/antioxidants/">a high intake of selenium may lower your risk of skin cancer</a>, suggests Harvard School of Public Health. Antioxidants are found in a variety of nutritious foods, especially fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, and plant oils.</p>
<h2><strong>#2 It Provides Heart-Healthy Fats</strong></h2>
<p>The heart-healthy fats abundant in the Hallelujah Diet—such as nuts, seeds, flaxseed oil, olive oil, coconut oil, and avocados—help keep your skin moisturized. Many of these heart-healthy fats are also rich in the antioxidant vitamin E, which keeps your nails, hair, and skin looking as healthy as possible. Because <a href="https://www.eatright.org/food/vitamins-and-supplements/types-of-vitamins-and-nutrients/antioxidants-protecting-healthy-cells">vitamin E is an antioxidant</a>, it protects your body from cell damage associated with heart disease, cancer, and cataracts due to age.</p>
<p><img alt="High Fiber Foods on a wooden background" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28544" height="298" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" src="https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/High-Fiber-Foods-on-a-wooden-background.jpg" srcset="https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/High-Fiber-Foods-on-a-wooden-background.jpg 500w, https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/High-Fiber-Foods-on-a-wooden-background-300x179.jpg 300w" width="500" /></p>
<h2><strong>#3 It’s Rich in Fiber</strong></h2>
<p>The Hallelujah Diet is entirely plant-based, so it’s loaded with fiber-rich foods—including whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds. The reason fiber is beneficial for your skin is two-fold. Fiber enhances overall health and wellness and helps you maintain a healthy weight. <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5331580/">Studies show that fiber supplementation leads to  smaller waist circumference</a>, lower body weight, and lower overall food intake.</p>
<p>Achieving or maintaining a healthy weight means your risk of healthier-looking skin increases. A 2017 study published in <em>Lipids in Health and Disease</em> found that <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5683228/">common skin conditions associated with obesity are reduced skin moisture</a>, increased redness, and surface roughness. These and other skin problems may be due to impairments in the nerve-vascular system, insulin resistance, and inflammation.</p>
<h2><strong>#4 It Provides Nutritious Protein</strong></h2>
<p>Getting enough protein is a crucial part of <a href="https://medlineplus.gov/dietaryproteins.html">maintaining healthy skin</a> and hair. In fact, protein deficiency can even lead to hair loss. While it might be difficult to ingest the amount of protein your body needs when eating only plant foods, it’s entirely possible when following the Hallelujah Diet. Good sources of plant protein include beans, peas, nuts, seeds, and plant milks.</p>
<p><a href="https://shop.myhdiet.com/supplements/organic-protein.html">Hallelujah Diet protein powder</a> can significantly boost your protein intake, as it contains 25 grams of plant protein in each scoop. The protein recommended dietary allowance (<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK56068/table/summarytables.t4/?report=objectonly">RDA</a>) is 46 grams for women, 71 grams during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, and 56 grams per day for men. Many adults—especially older adults, athletes, and vegan dieters—benefit from consuming more protein than the RDA.</p>
<h2><strong>#5 It Consists of Low-GI Foods</strong></h2>
<p>Because the Hallelujah Diet is plant-based and consists of whole (non-processed) foods, it enhances your skin’s natural beauty and may lower your risk of certain skin conditions. The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) says <a href="https://www.aad.org/public/diseases/acne-and-rosacea/can-the-right-diet-get-rid-of-acne">eating high-glycemic index (GI) foods may be associated with acne</a>. Examples such foods to AVOID include:</p>
<ul>
<li>White bread</li>
<li>White rice</li>
<li>White potatoes</li>
<li>French fries</li>
<li>Sweets</li>
<li>Pastries</li>
<li>Sugary drinks</li>
<li>Potato chips</li>
</ul>
<p>The AAD suggests switching from a high-GI diet to <a href="http://www.diabetes.org/food-and-fitness/food/what-can-i-eat/understanding-carbohydrates/glycemic-index-and-diabetes.html">a low-GI meal plan to reduce acne</a>. Lower-GI foods, abundant in the Hallelujah Diet, include fresh fruits with the skin, legumes, whole grains, and fresh vegetables.</p>
<p><img alt="Different types of non-dairy milk" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28543" height="334" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" src="https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Different-types-of-non-dairy-milk.jpg" srcset="https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Different-types-of-non-dairy-milk.jpg 500w, https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Different-types-of-non-dairy-milk-300x200.jpg 300w" width="500" /></p>
<h2><strong>#6 It’s Free from Cow’s Milk</strong></h2>
<p>The <a href="https://www.aad.org/public/diseases/acne-and-rosacea/can-the-right-diet-get-rid-of-acne">AAD says acne and other skin conditions may be associated with all types of cow’s milk</a>— including low-fat, skim, and whole cow’s milk—according to numerous studies. Researchers aren’t entirely sure why this is the cause but theorize that hormones in milk may cause inflammation, which can clog pores and increase the likelihood of developing acne. In comparison, the Hallelujah Diet includes only plant-based milks, such as almond milk and coconut milk, as you’re encouraged to avoid cow’s milk entirely.</p>
<h2><strong>Eat for Younger-Looking Skin</strong></h2>
<p>Your diet isn’t the only lifestyle habit that affects your skin. Prolonged, unprotected sun exposure, smoking, drinking alcohol, being overweight, and other environmental factors also play a role, but following a nutritious meal plan like the Hallelujah Diet (rich in fiber, <a href="https://shop.myhdiet.com/supplements/vitamins.html">vitamins and minerals</a>, and other antioxidants) gives you the best chance at youthful-looking, clear skin. <a href="https://www.myhdiet.com/hallelujah-diet-supplements-2/">Try Hallelujah Diet supplements</a> to ensure you’re meeting daily nutritional needs in the absence of animal food sources. You’ll look and feel your best when doing so!</p>

<h3>Is Tofu Healthy?</h3>
<p>The soybean is one of the most common foods in our diet, primarily because soy is found in most processed foods (<a href="https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/93/5/950/4597940">1</a>).</p>
<p>Tofu is made from soy and depending on the brand you can purchase tofu that’s organic and/or organic and sprouted. Sprouted means the soybeans have been <a href="https://nutritionstripped.com/guide-to-soaking-and-sprouting/">sprouted</a> before being processed as tofu, which may help increase the nutrient density.</p>
<p>Whole soybeans have many nutrients, and they’re a decent source of <a href="https://nutritionstripped.com/plant-based-protein-qa-part-i/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">plant-based protein</a>. They become unhealthy, however, when they’re processed at high temperatures. They also contain phytates, which affect the absorption of their nutrients. (<a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B9781893997646500135">2</a>)</p>
<p>The soy you can find now isn’t the same as the soy crop from your grandparents’ day and age. Soy-derived products like soybean oil and soy protein are incredibly refined, and over 90% of them in the US have been genetically modified, according to the US Department of Agriculture. (<a href="https://phys.org/news/2013-06-gmo-corn-soybeans-dominate.html">3</a>) Soybean oil also contains an imbalanced amount of Omega-6 polyunsaturated fats, which in excess, that can lead to inflammation and health problems. (<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3821664/">4</a>)</p>
<p>Take a deeper look at the health benefits of soy and some things to consider when consuming soy in our NS Society exclusive <a href="https://nutritionstripped.com/is-soy-healthy/">journal article</a>.</p>
<p>You can make a large <a href="https://nutritionstripped.com/batch-cooking-101/">batch</a> of this recipe for multiple servings for the week ahead and if you want to use this sauce on other proteins like tempeh, fish, chicken, etc. then you absolutely can and it’ll taste great!</p>

How Electromagnetic Frequencies Can Harm Your Body

<p>Since the 1990s, the technological evolution of cell phones and their growing popularity have brought an increasing concern for health issues caused by the electromagnetic frequency (EMF) radiation these devices emit. From warnings against carrying phones in our pockets to recommendations on limiting daily cellphone use because of brain cancer risks, we are becoming increasingly concerned about the potentially high price we are paying to have and use this technology.<span id="more-28339"></span></p>
<h2><strong>Longstanding Concerns</strong></h2>
<p>While some forms of electromagnetic radiation are known to be harmful, others are more controversial. We should remember that EMFs come from a large variety of sources. These include our microwaves, cell phones, cordless telephones, smart TVs, television and radio broadcasts, computers, electric house wiring, electric cords, power lines, fitness tracking devices, routers, not to mention ultraviolet waves, x-rays, and gamma rays. We are always practically bathed in EMFs.</p>
<p>As stated in the British Medical Bulletin, <a href="https://academic.oup.com/bmb/article/68/1/157/421256">electromagnetic fields (EMF) are ubiquitous</a> in modern society. With the growing popularity of the cellular phone accompanied by all its supporting infrastructure such as cell towers, power chargers, Bluetooth headsets and Wi-Fi networks, the public is becoming increasingly concerned about the possibility that “long-term exposure to weak fields might have detrimental health effects due to some, to date unknown, biological mechanism.”</p>
<p><img alt="scientist looking through microscope in laboratory" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28340" height="300" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" src="https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/scientist-looking-through-microscope-in-laboratory.jpg" srcset="https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/scientist-looking-through-microscope-in-laboratory.jpg 500w, https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/scientist-looking-through-microscope-in-laboratory-300x180.jpg 300w" width="500" /></p>
<h2><strong>Scientific Research: Mixed Results</strong></h2>
<p>Investigations into the possible biological effects of electromagnetic radiation are ongoing. The National Center for Biotechnology Information reports that “<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK208988/">some animals respond to extremely low levels of electromagnetic fields (EMF)</a>.” As far as humans are concerned, Dr. Anthony Miller, World Health Organization advisor, is of the opinion that the “<a href="https://ehtrust.org/cancer-expert-declares-cell-phone-wireless-radiation-carcinogenic-humans/">evidence indicating wireless is carcinogenic</a> has increased and can no longer be ignored.”</p>
<p>Although much more research still needs to be done, there are reports that EMF sources could cause cancer. One recent <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24388073">meta-analysis and review</a> of many studies concluded that “magnetic field exposure level may be associated with childhood leukemia” The National Cancer Institute reports that studies “have not found consistent evidence for an association between the <a href="https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/radiation/electromagnetic-fields-fact-sheet">use of household electrical appliances and risk</a>.” It also highlights two studies leading the UK Health Protection Agency to say that there was “no reason why Wi-Fi should not continue to be used in schools and in other places.”</p>
<h2><strong>Taking Precautions</strong></h2>
<p>While the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) notes that <a href="https://www.epa.gov/radiation/radiation-resources-outside-epa">various frequencies are regulated</a>, regardless of the source of radiation, it is definitely best to take precautions. Simple natural ways to reduce exposure to EMFs include: keeping your cell phone and computer at a distance; avoid Bluetooth headsets and use either speakerphone or attached earbuds, and unplugging appliances when not in use.</p>
<p><img alt="paper people holding hands" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28342" height="334" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" src="https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/paper-people-holding-hands.jpg" srcset="https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/paper-people-holding-hands.jpg 500w, https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/paper-people-holding-hands-300x200.jpg 300w" width="500" /></p>
<h2><strong>Adding Protection</strong></h2>
<p>Because we don’t know enough about how these EMFs’ impact the human body, we need to take precautions to avoid exposure. Following the natural ways outlined above are a good way to start, but keep in mind that there is also technology available to safely harmonize and minimize the harmful effects of EMFs and electromagnetic radiation (EMRs). The <a href="https://shop.myhdiet.com/gia-wellness-universal-twin-pack-2-chips.html">chips packaged into the Hallelujah Diet’s revolutionary GIA Wellness Universal Guard</a> provide your first line of defense, a layer of protection, by actively working to neutralize the effects of your exposure to harmful electromagnetic radiation. They also strengthen the body’s resilience to stress at the same time.</p>
<h2><strong>Bottom Line</strong></h2>
<p>The threat posed by Electromagnetic Frequencies not only requires more independent study but also our active participation in seeking ways to avoid and neutralize it.</p>

Senior Health Tips: The Importance of Minerals

<p>When taking care of an aging parent, or by merely being a member of the rapidly growing baby boomer population, proper nutrition should be uppermost in our minds. Every day we are swamped by infomercials on TV and radio all cleverly suggesting that our diets, and those of our loved ones, need attention. Moreover, as we do our research into improving our diets or the taking of dietary supplements, we are overwhelmed by the complexity of the challenge. Vitamins, water-soluble vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins, minerals, trace minerals … the list seems endless.<span id="more-28370"></span></p>
<p>To best describe the complexity of this, HelpGuide explains: “Although they are all considered micronutrients, <a href="https://www.helpguide.org/harvard/vitamins-and-minerals.htm">vitamins and minerals differ in basic ways</a>. Vitamins are organic and can be broken down by heat, air, or acid. Minerals are inorganic and hold on to their chemical structure.” When it comes to water-soluble vitamins, these are “packed into the watery portions of the foods you eat. They are absorbed directly into the bloodstream as food is broken down.” Fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed with the fat in our foods and are stored in our fat tissues and liver and are released as needed over time.</p>
<h2><strong>Importance of Minerals</strong></h2>
<p>When considering the essential nature of minerals, a Hallelujah Diet article states: “When taken together with vitamins, <a href="https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/health-news/the-importance-of-minerals/">minerals are essential nutrients</a> performing hundreds of roles in the body, all needed to help you to thrive. What exactly does a diet rich in minerals do for your well-being? In ‘<a href="https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/rev-malkmus/sneak-peek-gods-original-diet-book/">God’s Original Diet</a>,’ Rev. George Malkmus highlights that minerals provide structure in forming bones and teeth, they maintain normal heart rhythm, muscle contractibility, neural conductivity, and acid-base balance. They also regulate cellular metabolism.”</p>

<h2><strong>Minerals and Senior Health</strong></h2>
<p>In considering minerals on their own, we might automatically conjure up images of rows and rows of bottles on the pharmacy shelves before remembering that this is not where they come from. Since <a href="http://www.rsc.org/education/teachers/resources/jesei/minerals/students.htm">minerals are inorganic substances</a>, they are formed naturally in abundance in the earth. As water, either from rain or from underground springs, filters through the earth, it acquires many minerals. Plants absorb this water, accumulating the minerals and turning them into a form that our bodies can easily digest.</p>
<p>According to WebMD: “<a href="https://www.webmd.com/healthy-aging/features/missing-nutrients#1">Getting adequate nutrition can be a challenge as you get older</a>. With age, the number of calories you need begins to decline. Every calorie you consume must be packed with nutrition in order to hit the mark.” However, despite a nutritious diet, even like that <a href="https://myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/HD_MealPlan_2014.pdf">suggested by the Hallelujah Diet</a>, you may still fall short of your needs.”</p>
<p>“As we get older, the body becomes less efficient at absorbing some key nutrients,” says Katherine Tucker, RD, Ph.D., Professor, Director of the Center for Population Health at the University of UMass Lowell. Also, the ability to taste food declines, blunting appetite. Some foods become difficult to chew or digest, and this would be especially true of seniors. For seniors, several vital nutrients may be in short supply. Among these, <a href="https://www.webmd.com/healthy-aging/features/missing-nutrients#1">here are the top minerals</a>—there are only three—and how to get enough of them.</p>
<p><strong>Calcium:</strong> While calcium plays many roles in the body, it is essential for building and maintaining strong bones. Unfortunately, surveys show that, as we age, we consume less calcium in our diets. “Calcium is so essential that if you don’t get enough, your body will leach it out of your bones,” says Kathleen Zelman, RD, director of nutrition for WebMD. Being short on plant-based foods rich in calcium, magnesium, vitamin K and trace minerals has been shown to increase the risk fractures due to brittle bones.</p>
<p><strong>How to hit the mark</strong>: While some experts suggest consuming dairy products to get enough calcium, this advice is fraught with danger. Consider plant-based dietary sources of calcium that include leafy greens like kale and broccoli and nuts and seeds. Also, healthy smoothies made from non-dairy milk, kale, fruit, and even almonds or avocados could be easily incorporated into the diet of an older person who has trouble chewing.</p>
<p><strong>Potassium:</strong> Getting enough potassium in your diet is believed to keep bones healthy. This essential mineral is vital for cell function and has also been shown to help reduce high blood pressure and the risk of kidney stones. Unfortunately, surveys show that many older Americans are falling short of the recommended 4,700 mg of potassium a day.</p>
<p><strong>How to hit the mark</strong>: By far, fruits and vegetables are the most abundant dietary sources of potassium. Bananas, prunes, plums, and potatoes in their skin are particularly rich in potassium. Consuming fruits and vegetables at every meal goes a long way toward getting enough potassium.</p>
<p><strong>Magnesium:</strong> Magnesium has been shown to play a crucial role in some 300 different physiological processes. Getting enough can help keep our immune system in top shape, our heart healthy, and our bones strong. “Many whole foods, including vegetables, contain magnesium. However, it is often lost in processing,” says Tucker. Absorption of magnesium decreases with age. Some medications older people take, including diuretics, may also reduce magnesium absorption.</p>
<p><strong>How to hit the mark</strong>: The best sources of magnesium are unprocessed plant-based foods and include fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, beans, and seeds. The <a href="https://shop.myhdiet.com/magnesium-complex.html">Magnesium Complex is a bioavailable source of magnesium</a> from the Hallelujah Diet and could also be considered.</p>
<p><img alt="closeup of dietary supplements" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28371" height="334" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" src="https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/closeup-of-dietary-supplements.jpg" srcset="https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/closeup-of-dietary-supplements.jpg 500w, https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/closeup-of-dietary-supplements-300x200.jpg 300w" width="500" /></p>
<h2><strong>Raw and Fresh Are Best</strong></h2>
<p>Whichever way you consider mineral consumption, the best way to get these minerals is in the rawest, freshest form of living fruits, vegetables, and juices. The <a href="https://myhdiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/HD_MealPlan_2014.pdf">Hallelujah Diet highlights</a> the importance of following a plant-based and primarily raw diet to fuel your body with the minerals it needs to thrive and lead a long, nourishing life.</p>
<p>Should you wish to incorporate an additional excellent source of trace minerals, this could be one of the Hallelujah Diet’s <a href="https://shop.myhdiet.com/supplements/barleymax-products.html">BarleyMax</a> supplements. These are organically grown in well-composted soil and nourished with mineral-rich water. This guarantees you’ll be getting the minerals in the purest, most basic plant form—essentially, the best way possible. What’s more, the powder forms are easily mixed with water or juice or added to your favorite smoothie!</p>

Product Spotlight: Why We Love The Champion Juicer

<p>A plant-based diet offers the healthiest way to go when it comes to maintaining optimal health. There’s even more to be gained from eating fruits and vegetables in their natural state or raw. Juicers make it possible to reap the maximum nutrient benefit from a plant-based diet.<span id="more-28088"></span></p>
<p><a href="https://shop.myhdiet.com/champion-juicer-white.html">The Champion Juicer is a top of the line product</a> that makes it easy to work with fruits and vegetables no matter the form or texture. Manufactured by a reputable company, the Champion Juicer is built to last. With the Champion Juicer, adding variety to your diet is a breeze!</p>
<h2><strong>What’s So Special About Juicing?</strong></h2>
<p>Fruits and vegetables contain a rich supply of the nutrients and enzymes the body needs to function at its best. Enzymes, in particular, are the “living” components of a plant-based diet that benefit the body so much. Whether eaten raw and whole or raw in juice form, the nutrient value cannot be beaten by any other type of food.</p>
<p>Juicing takes a raw, plant-based diet to a whole new level. In juice form, <a href="https://www.washington.edu/wholeu/2015/03/11/juicing-vs-blending/">the nutrition value of fruits and vegetables is compounded</a>. An example of this compounding effect can be seen in how it takes a pound of raw vegetables to make eight ounces of juice. In effect, a glass of juice offers multiple servings of fruits and vegetables in liquid form. There’s no better way to reap the health benefits from these God-given foods!</p>
<h2><strong><img alt="Champion Juicer" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-28089" height="300" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Champion-Elite-4000-300x300.jpg" srcset="https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Champion-Elite-4000-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Champion-Elite-4000-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Champion-Elite-4000.jpg 700w" width="300" />The Champion Juicer</strong></h2>
<p>Breaking down raw vegetables and fruit into juice form requires a strong, durable product that’s designed to deliver the pressure and force needed to do the job. The <a href="https://shop.myhdiet.com/champion-juicer-white.html">Champion Juicer</a> is a masticating juicer. This means it chops and squeezes the fibrous pulp out, so you’re left with juice, not pulpy liquid. It chops and squeezes at the same time so the pulp is extracted from the juice. A mesh screen design then catches the pulp so all that pours out is pure liquid. The juicing and mechanism design alone sets this juicer head and shoulders above other juicers. Here are some other benefits you can expect from the Champion:</p>
<ul>
<li>Can be used for both juicing and homogenizing.</li>
<li>Has a durable product design.</li>
<li>Produces high yields from hard, fibrous produce and also from leafy greens with the greens auger blade.</li>
<li>Is manufactured by a family-owned business in the U. S. A.</li>
<li>Has reliable product support from the manufacturer.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Powerful Auger-Cutter Design</strong></h2>
<p>A good many of the masticating juicers on the market use an auger design that processes food by crushing, pulling, and pushing it through a strainer apparatus. These designs also tend to come with slow motors that run anywhere from 50 to 100 RPM. The Champion auger mechanism not only does what other juicers do but also has teeth which cut and shred. This added feature, coupled with a more powerful motor that runs at 1725 RPM, accounts for why the Champion delivers higher yields than other juicers.</p>
<h2><strong>Shorter Food Prep Times</strong></h2>
<p>Depending on the type of fruit or vegetable you’re working with, a good amount of time can be spent on prepping the food for the juicer. This prep time entails chopping the food up into a size that the juicer can process. With the Champion Juicer, any food item that fits into the feeding chamber can be processed as is. For foods like celery and carrots, this added convenience eliminates the amount of prep time required for other juicers.</p>
<h2><strong>Built to Last</strong></h2>
<p>Considering the wear and tear juicers undergo when used on a regular basis, only those with a sturdy construction will stand the test of time. The body of the Champion Juicer is made of durable BPA-free polycarbonate which won’t chip or fade and includes a handle to safely carry it. All of the juicer parts that touch the juice are made of BPA-free nylon as well. The 1/3 hp motor is rated for continuous use and has been known to run for more than 30 years. The manufacturer of the Champion Juicer, Plastaket, back its product with a 5-year warranty.</p>
<h2><strong><img alt="quality brand seal stamp" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-28091" height="277" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/quality-brand-seal-stamp-300x277.jpg" srcset="https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/quality-brand-seal-stamp-300x277.jpg 300w, https://www.myhdiet.com/healthnews/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/quality-brand-seal-stamp.jpg 500w" width="300" />Brand Reputation & Customer Support</strong></h2>
<p>The Champion brand has a long-standing history in the United States that dates all the way back to the 1930’s. With over 50 years in the juicer business, Champion brand juicers were the very first to be produced in this country. As a family-owned business that only manufactures juicers, this has allowed the company to continue to offer a quality product along with top-notch customer service. They provide product support by phone, snail mail, and through a contact form on their website. Plastaket also interacts with customers through Facebook and Instagram.</p>
<p>All in all, when it comes to juicing, you don’t want to get stuck with a product that can’t handle the job. We love the Champion Juicer because its specialized design makes the juicing process so much easier. Its ability to deliver high yields from processed food gets another check mark. Last, the Champion’s design is built to withstand daily use, and the manufacturer stands behind its product. If you’re in the market for a juicer, you can’t go wrong with the Champion Juicer!</p>
