FAQ - Frequently asked questions

That the juice has been extracted using the most effective process known to release the maximum possible concentration of nutrients from fresh vegetable fibers, achieving an extraordinary flavor and giving it the ability to retain its properties and freshness after several days.

Cold-pressing involves two steps: first, the ingredients are crushed, which opens the fibers and releases the nutrients, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and chlorophyll from within; second, a hydraulic press applies tons of pressure to the pulp and extracts every last drop from each fruit and vegetable. The result of the process is a juice with a much higher nutritional concentration than juice extracted conventionally or with a centrifugal extractor.

High Pressure Processing (HPP) is the latest technology in the food industry that uses hydrostatic pressure to extend the shelf life of our juices without compromising quality, nutrients or delicious flavor. that you adore

The reason for the effectiveness of juices is based on the fact that, by separating the mineral elements and water from the fiber of the vegetables, the liquid obtained is quickly digested and assimilated in a time of between 10 and 15 minutes, which which means an instant banquet of nutrients for the regeneration of our cells.

On the other hand, the process required to separate nutrients from whole fruits and vegetables involves time and effort, even up to hours of work for the digestive system. This process requires a lot of energy and the means to obtain said energy is through food, therefore, a portion of the “solid” food that we eat is diverted from its nutritional objective to be used as fuel to generate this same energy for digest it.

Fiber is classified according to its solubility, as soluble or insoluble fiber. Both types of fiber are found in different proportions in foods that contain fiber. Fruit juices, vegetables and legumes are good sources of soluble fiber; Whole grains are rich sources of insoluble fiber.

From a nutritional point of view, fiber is not a nutrient, but it performs extremely important physiological functions, such as stimulating bowel movement, for example. Without fiber the body cannot maintain good health.

Drinking juices is an excellent option for the body to obtain the necessary soluble fiber, as long as our diet is complemented with a salad with raw ingredients (that is why all our meal plans incorporate the necessary amount of insoluble fiber!).

Common juice stores use centrifugal extractors or blenders, the typical ones that most of us already know, which have the following differences compared to a cold-press extractor:

* The blades rotate at high speed and generate heat when kept running for a long time. A cold press extractor grinds fruits and vegetables at a slower speed and generates less heat. This preserves the enzymes that are extremely sensitive to heat.

* The centrifuging process causes violent exposure to air, so the juice begins to oxidize from the moment it is extracted. Cold Press technology minimizes exposure to air, allowing the juice to be preserved alive for 3 days or 72 hours in the refrigerator.

* They are much less efficient when extracting juice as they tear the fruits and vegetables and separate the juice from the pulp with rotation, the remaining pulp remains wet and nutrients and enzymes are wasted. Cold-press is more efficient and reduces waste.

* A traditional blender leaves all the fiber in the juice, so our body still needs to digest it, limiting rapid direct absorption into the bloodstream.

In summary, the juice extracted with traditional centrifugal equipment is exposed to heat and oxygen, which begins the process of decomposition, oxidation and even destruction of enzymes before entering your glass, which is why a traditional juice must be consumed immediately.

Now, if a conventional juice is the only option available, any juice will always be better than no juice. We recommend you make sure if all the ingredients have been properly disinfected or even better, prepare one at home!

We extract the juice with a process called cold-press, with Norwalk and Goodnature X1 equipment. Both are the best options available on the market to carry out this delicate process.

With this equipment and our careful selection of the highest quality ingredients (more than half are organic), JuicyFolks produces the best tasting juices, the highest purity and the highest nutritional concentration possible.

Each juice, milk or shot is carefully made in small batches, so we can ensure excellent quality for each product that leaves our facilities.

Evidence that you drink a 100% natural product! Without the use of chemical additives, the separation in the juices occurs naturally due to the different densities of each ingredient. Shake it before drinking it.

Always keep it refrigerated until ready to consume it. With adequate refrigeration, our juices maintain their nutritional stability and flavor for 72 hours after being cold-pressed.

If you wish, you can freeze it to preserve it for up to approximately 30 days. But first you must remember the following: eliminate a little liquid so that when it freezes and expands it does not come out of the container and once thawed, drink it in the days remaining until its expiration prior to freezing.

For example, if you froze it on day 2, there will only be 1 day left to drink it after thawing it.

You should consult with your doctor but the generic answer is NO, due to the natural sugar content of the fruits we use (despite the fact that the maximum proportion of fruit is 40%). Pump It and Forever Young are our options with the least natural sugars.

You should consult with your doctor and follow his recommendations.

We see no reason why a doctor would tell his patient to avoid eating spinach, apples, or carrots. We carry out the best practices in terms of hygiene and care when preparing our juices, however everyone can have a reaction from time to time due to the consumption of vegetables or fruits. During your pregnancy, always consult your doctor about the risks of consuming fresh, unpasteurized juices.

Clear! We have a line of juices for children "KIDS", we will only ask you to follow some recommendations since the juices are ULTRA perishable and we want to avoid at all costs that a child drinks spoiled juice.

Your body is made up of trillions of microscopic cells and your very existence depends on them. They require nutrients to live; nutrients that are alive and active. You and only you are responsible for the outcome of how you nourish your body, the life in your food is what really matters.

Drinking juices is not a fad, at Juicy Folks we look for the nutrition, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, quick energy and other vital nutrients that juices provide us. Juices of any type and especially green ones have incredible cleansing power and help restore your body.

Drinking raw green juices daily, rich in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and alkalizing ingredients, is a great antidote to the toxins we constantly consume. Drinking one or several juices a day helps us skip the junk food session and change it for an ultra-healthy option. Excellent news for your body!

By acquiring this habit you will take a correct direction towards optimizing your state of health. We progressively recommend removing processed foods from your diet.

There are studies that suggest that the consumption of 100% natural juices is linked to healthier eating patterns, reduced daily caloric intake, including saturated fats and added sugars.

In addition to the information and benefits visible in the nutritional tables, all juices provide value that exceeds what is printed on the labels, being a full source of phytonutrients, which are plant nutrients with numerous health-supporting benefits and antioxidant properties. This type of nutrients available in fruits and vegetables is associated with reducing the general risk of acquiring diseases.

Raw = raw, is any food or juice that has never been altered from its original form, has not been cooked, heated or steamed.

The juices that we commonly find on the shelves of self-service stores or in the supermarket have been pasteurized, which means that they have been heated like soup and then suddenly cooled with the aim of killing bacteria, inhibiting enzymatic activity and achieving partial sterilization.

This means the destruction of all microscopic life forms, including vitamins, enzymes, phytonutrients and millions of good bacteria, essential for digestive processes and achieving optimal overall health.

It has been detected that pasteurization under certain conditions destroys vitamin A and vitamin B, vitamin C and carotene are also decreased through the de-aeration process prior to pasteurization.

We must keep in mind that although it is true that cooked, processed or pasteurized foods can keep us alive, that does not mean that they contain the power to regenerate our cells, on the contrary, due to the constant consumption of processed foods our body suffers loss of vitality and progressive degeneration.

Pasteurization allows for long shelf life and reduces the chances of people getting sick from ingesting bad bacteria. We are concerned about your health and we know that we sell a vulnerable product if it is not prepared properly, that is why our hygiene and cleaning standards meet and exceed established standards. We select only the best vegetables (they are not useful if they have bruises or breaks), we wash, carve and disinfect each ingredient, and we have the work space to avoid contamination of bad bacteria in the juices.

Does pasteurization work for the beverage industry in general? Yeah.

Does it work for your body to reach an optimal state of health? We don't believe it.

Never drink a juice after the indicated expiration date and if you think that you or a member of your family has symptoms of illness or adverse reaction due to the consumption of raw juices, we recommend that you go to your doctor immediately and, if possible, we will appreciate your help. reports on the situation.

* Raw. At Juicy Folks we do not use pasteurization processes that damage the nutritional properties of the juices.

* We do not use any type of chemical additives, preservatives, nor do we add sugars

* We don't add water or look for shortcuts to make juices cheaper.

* We deliver the highest quality in each bottle.

The basic key to your body's nutritional effectiveness is the life that is present in food, specifically in the intangible elements known as enzymes. These elements are hidden within seeds, and in the shoots and growth of plants. Enzymes are described as complex proteins that help many functions in our body run faster and more efficiently:

* They promote the digestion and absorption of nutrients: from the foods we eat. Enzymes break down proteins, carbohydrates and fats into perfectly assimilable substances: they are digestive enzymes.

*Anti-inflammatory effect: proteolytic enzymes, such as Pineapple Bromelain, inhibit some inflammatory processes and at the same time promote recovery from blows, resorption of hematomas or bruises and wounds. It can be useful in cases of arthritis.

* Reduce damage caused by toxins: enzymes promote the efficiency of our metabolism by helping to eliminate toxins and heavy metals. They would have a detoxifying or purifying effect on our body.

*They harmonize the immune or immune system: enzymes help white blood cells to fight against viruses and bacteria, but also by promoting proper digestion or degradation of food, they also help to reduce the occurrence of food allergies.

* Other functions or properties of enzymes are: eliminating carbon dioxide from the lungs, improving our mental capacity, regulating our body weight, promoting fertility, etc.

Raw fruits and vegetables are a very important source of natural enzymes, so by drinking at least one juice a day we help our body with the enzymes it needs.

Enzymes are sensitive to temperatures above 47º C where they become slow, at 54º C the life of the enzymes is extinct, they die. Contrary to this, there is evidence that enzymes can be preserved at low temperatures, even freezing temperatures.

Once we are aware of this, we will know why our food must be chosen appropriately and intelligently, and why it must be raw (uncooked) and unprocessed, since where there is life there are enzymes.

With this brief explanation you will be able to appreciate the value of choosing food with which we want to nourish the cells and tissues of our body. With foods loaded with nutrients with which we can help our body repair itself and live a life with optimal health.

If, compared to a market-leading centrifugal extractor, the machines we use simply manage to extract more of everything, let's take the same amount of carrots for example:

* the centrifuge extracts 1,197ml. of juice, while the Norwalk extracts 1,685ml.

*501 mgs. of calcium in the centrifuge against a very high value of 2,708 mgs in the Norwalk.

*Traces of magnesium with the centrifuge and 22.8 mgs. with the Norwalk.

* 8.1 mgs. of potassium in the centrifuge and 31.9 mgs. with the Norwalk

*Information obtained through the Norwalk Juicer website http://www.norwalkjuicers.com/features/

Our bottles are made of food grade PET free of bisphemol-A (BPA Free) and do not undergo any type of processing that involves high temperatures. Plastic may be a better option than glass for the following reasons:

* Plastic requires much less energy than glass to be recycled and this represents fewer CO2 emissions released.

*It is very light compared to other bottle options, which means less fuel expenditure to produce and distribute each bottle.

*It is safe, since glass is dangerous to break and is more fragile than other packaging materials, we do not like to see blood.

Even though it can be recycled, we are upset that our packaging contributes to the HUGE pollution problem. When a better option exists we assure you that we will use it!

It all depends on your body, your pace of life and diet, if you have never done a detox, and you want to feel the effects of cleansing your body, we recommend 3 days.

If you have already done it before and consider yourself an expert on the subject, we recommend the 5-day one, but if you still have some doubts or perhaps even a little fear, you can start by trying a day to see how you feel. Later you can do the program for 3 or 5 days so that you can truly feel its benefits.

If you like green juices or want a slightly deeper detox, we recommend the Pro detox, but if you want a little more varied and well-known flavors we recommend the Beginner detox, we are sure that you will love either of the two. We put a lot of effort into making them delicious and nutritious.

We make each of the juices with almost a kilogram of vegetables (on average 60% vegetables/40% fruit) so they are very consistent and have a great load of nutrients, however you should know that to obtain a real benefit we must make a little effort.

If you usually eat a lot, it is likely that at least during the afternoon of the first day and part of the second you will feel hungry or want to bite something. To avoid this, it is necessary to stay well hydrated, drink a glass of water between each juice, drink your juices at the specified times and do not think about food all day, you will be able to control it perfectly.

We will send you a guide where we specify which juices you should drink and at what times, the first one starts at 8:30 a.m. and the last one at 9p.m. We also include several recommendations for things you can do during and after the detox to make the process as easy as possible and maximize the benefits.

You may experience certain symptoms that may be annoying, at least during the first day, the most common are: headache, dizziness and fatigue. Be patient, the discomfort will pass and you will do something good for your body.

Advice : Don't be suggestive, many people feel spectacular from the first day.

The idea is that we let the digestive system rest while we nourish it with juices, and thus the body itself can do its cleaning function more efficiently. However, if you suffer from anxiety during the program, you can eat some chopped vegetables such as cucumber. , carrot or jicama.

If you are pregnant, first of all, congratulations! It is important that you know that you need a special diet based on a certain number of calories, so we do not recommend that you do a detox program, what we do recommend is our juices. as a complement to your daily meals as they will give your body a great load of nutrients, easily and quickly, essential for your health and that of your baby.

If you can exercise if it is already part of your daily routine, we only recommend that during this period you try to moderate yourself a little, lower the intensity and not demand so much from your body, since you will consume fewer calories than you normally consume.

Preferably not, however if you can't control the urge, just have a cup without sugar or substitute Stevia, no cream or milk!

Although you can lose weight, this is not the objective of the program, we suggest you think about how you can use these special days to start or continue a healthy lifestyle and eating habits.

The day after the program you should choose light and hydrating foods, we recommend fruits and salads with all types of fresh vegetables. Your digestive system has been resting so you must give it time to fully reactivate and progressively incorporate denser foods. A couple of days later you can incorporate foods higher in proteins and fats.

We recommend that you do it after a period of high consumption of processed foods, soft drinks, alcohol or coffee; when you feel inflammation in your body, indigestion and digestive problems, difficulty sleeping, lack of energy, fatigue, among other symptoms. If you eat a balanced diet, you can do a weekly or monthly detox for 1 day as maintenance and one for 3 to 5 days every 3 months.

You should consult with your doctor.
