What About Fiber?

The cold press juicer has an auger that creates a slower pressing action that opens the food’s cell membranes and releases its deep-seated nutrients and enzymes.

Fiber is the indigestible component of fruits and vegetables that provides many health benefits including healthy digestion, blood sugar control, microbial gut health, bowel health, cholesterol regulation, weight control, and more.

Without enough fiber (about 25-30 grams per day), you may experience:

  • Constipation
  • Poor blood sugar control
  • Unhealthy cholesterol levels
  • Sluggish digestion
  • Bloating and flatulence
  • Excess hunger as fiber helps you feel satisfied after a meal

Both soluble and insoluble fiber offer significant health benefits.

  • Soluble fiber: dissolves in water and other body fluids and helps feed good gut bacteria
  • Insoluble fiber: absorbs liquids and sticks to other materials to help form stool

Smoothies contain both soluble and insoluble fiber, which adds bulk to stool, helps improve transit time, prevents constipation and helps to carry out excess toxic waste. 

Juices contain soluble fiber, which is more easily accessed and broken down in the intestines into usable metabolites, can regulate the gut microbiota by producing beneficial short chain fatty acids and helps lower cholesterol.
