Growing up, I always loved Sunday mornings. Not so much for Sunday school but more because after my parents returned from church, we always had a nice Sunday lunch. Sometimes this was a full on roast with roasted potatoes and vegetables. Other times it was more like an all day breakfast with lots of bacon, eggs, sausages, fried tomatoes, french toast and so on. Either way, my father also made us some freshly squeezed orange juice. More than the food, this is what I loved!

Now that I have liberated myself from my parents, I make myself juice every day. I spent and still do spend time looking through juicer reviews to help me decide which which machine(s) are the best. My own health is something that I’m not prepared to cut corners on. So I see it as an investment, in me, when I spend money on juicing appliances. The thing is, I know I’m going to use them! It would be a waste of money if I just bought them and left them sitting in my kitchen.

One of the things that I love about juicing is that my own son loves it too. More than drinking juices, he loves making them. This sort of education is something I’m more than happy to encourage. Too many children eat absolute rubbish and have no idea where their food comes from. With my son, this is a situation I am trying to avoid. He helps me in the garden and we pick vegetables together. I take him shopping and let him choose the fruit we buy. Then together we juice and blend up our fresh produce to make flavorsome health drinks to enjoy together.

I didn’t know too much about dietary health until later in life. If I can educate my son about healthy foods from a young age, I feel I will have done well as a father. I want him to have every opportunity to enjoy a happy and healthy life.
