Giving you a _____ demonstration today using the Omega 8005 juicer. The Omega 8005 juicer is the same as the Omega 8003 juicer just the color is different. This is a chrome plated model and the 8003 is a white model. The 8003 is a little bit less expensive. Both juicers work the same way. So the first thing we're gonna do is we will assemble the juicer. I'm gonna show you how to assemble. We have all parts lined up here on the front of the machine and this is the main you know body of the juicer the Omega 8005 juicer. So it's very easy to assemble and the first piece you take is you take the main body housing. You put that on the machine and then you slide this clamp over. It says open and close only here so you close it. And the next part you take is the _____ piece and you slide the _____ into the main body housing until it stops. The next part you take is the juicing screen and put the juicing screen into the machine. This juicer also comes with a blank plate which instead of actually having a holes to juice it's just solid so it will allow you to put say for example frozen bananas through the machine and it will make you know basically banana sorbet which a lot of people eat instead of ice creams or basically just eating 100 percent frozen bananas instead of you know. And you could eat that instead of ice cream and you're gonna you know eat a lot healthier. You can also do with frozen cantaloupes and frozen strawberries frozen blueberries it's real good. So we're gonna put the juicing screen there because we are juicing today. And then the only other piece you're gonna need to put on is the _____ cap. And you put the _____ cap on it also says close and open so you just kinda slide that on there and turn it. And then last piece we're gonna need or we don't really need to put it but it's a final it makes things you know easier to push into the juicer. Just put that on the top. The next thing that comes with the juicer that you're gonna use is there's two containers. One is to catch the pulp and one is to catch the juice. Now the one that catch juice they do provide you a screen that will catch any extra fiber or any kind of foam that does come out of the juicer. You can just mix this and back into the juice or you can just discard it whichever you would prefer. So this go underneath the juicer. They also provide you with the tamper. Now only use this tamper where there's pusher into the juicer and the direction it goes is the side where this little ring goes down into the juicer. Never use anything else in the juicer such as knives or anything else to push things in the juicer. Don't use your fingers your kid's fingers or anything because you know it can be dangerous it can also you know damage the juicer. So we're gonna start off today by juicing some romaine lettuce over here and we also have some lemons apples cucumbers and carrots. And we have also a big ball of dark leafy greens from my garden. This juicer is best for juicing things such as leafy greens. It also juice _____. It runs at a lower a RPM under 100 RPM or revolutions per minute so it does not oxidize the juice as much as high speed juicers. So let me go ahead and turn it on. You can see how quiet this machine is. It's fairly quiet. Now we're just gonna put in the produce using the pusher and what we're gonna do is we're gonna alternate putting in the produce into the machine. So first we put a cucumber then we put an apple and now we're gonna use some of these carrots. I know some heirloom carrots and this one happens to be orange like a standard carrot but have you ever seen carrots like these before? They're you know this is a purple carrot and the yellow carrot. These are from the farmers market and these have a much lower sugar content than the regular standard orange carrots that you bought at the supermarket. So you have all the nutrition but not all the sugar so I think they re a lot better and they taste real good. So we're gonna you know put another carrot in there. And we got some romaine lettuce. I like to use the romaine lettuce just to make some -- it adds a nice consistency to the juice. There you're gonna put in there. The next thing we're gonna put in is we have a charred leaf or color leaf and the leafy greens or what this juicer really does best. We're gonna focus here in a second once we put in a couple more leafy greens and we put the smallest and what's more leafy greens in here. We're gonna focus on the pulp coming out of the machine. And if you wanna look at the pulp coming out of the machine the pulp comes out -- this pulp is pretty dry. And now if you -- on this machine this machine allows you to actually take the pulp out of the machine and actually you could put it right back into the machine. It will happen. It will press out more juice out of that pulp for you. You could you're getting the most out of your produce. So you know we're just gonna continue to juice here. It's just really easy. You need minimal downward pressure. You put things in the machine such as _____ watch the ______ by itself. I don't even have to push it down in there. Till the end. So it's really easy to juice in this machine. The clean up is also very easy. It takes me under few minutes as you'll see in a minute. And so we're juicing here a real ______. There's no you know trick photography or anything. So we're gonna make you know a bunch of juice here. You can see how long it takes. Forward juicing I guess I'll tell you a little bit more about juicing and some other benefits. Juicing is really good for you because it allows you to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. As we know a lot of people say when the _____ tells you to eat five to nine servings or more fruits and vegetables a day than most people do not eat enough fruits and vegetables. But most people say I don't wanna eat any kale it doesn't taste good. But see when you juice the kale and you add some lemons some apples to make it taste really good you can also add it with some cucumbers and things like romaine lettuce which are pretty neutral flavor and so you juice mostly three quarters of the glass full of lettuce celery and cucumbers and one core of the glass of the dark leafy greens if you're just starting. If you're more into you could slowly increase the amount of the dark leafy greens you juice but then you get pretty you know you can't change the flavor the juice and some people may not like it. But juicing is really good because it removes the hard fibers material. For example on this carrot here I couldn't sit and eat five pounds of carrots you know just in a sitting but if you took five pounds of carrots and put it to the juicer you could easily drink four cups of carrot juice. In that sense you would get the nutrition from the carrots without the fiber. Now fiber is good for us. WE do need fiber so what I recommend is the juice in the morning or in the afternoon and the best plan is to you know juice instead of eating your normal breakfast or just drinking up juice so that you're full to get you go n the morning. And then later in the day in the afternoon you make a juice snack after lunch. And in this way you're getting pretty more fresh fruits and vegetables into your diet. And be a lot healthier. So I've almost filled up the container with the juice. You can see the strainer is working here straining all the extra fiber out. And I like that sometimes _____ around. And really juice a little bit more and we put some more dark leafy greens in there so if you have a big leaf such as this leaf here you can just you know roll it up so it'll fit in to the shoot of the juicer and then you get to push it in with the pusher. And like I said earlier you could always take a pulp and put it back to the machine and it'll ring out the pulp even drier. Now the things that's coming out on the front of the machine is mainly just the vegetable fiber. Now as I said we do need the fiber. It's really important in our diet because it helps you know keep us ______ and keep things moving but what I believe is you should drink juice in the morning and then at night have a big salad with your dinner or just eat a big salad for dinner to get your fiber that you're gonna need. But when you're juicing we don't need the fiber because what the fiber does it inhibits the digestion of the nutrition.
