The History of the Oscar Juicer

Invented in Korea by Mr Kim, the Oscar juicer was the original single gear juicer. Compact, easy to clean, very efficient and creating a fibre free juice, the Oscar was a significant evolution from the expensive, large and messy processors available.

When introduced some 10 years ago to Australia by Vitality 4 Life, the Oscar juicer represented a huge leap forward in making an enzyme rich living juice accessible to more people.

Several companies copied the early Oscar design and these machines have flooded the International market place. Some of these brands have falsely claimed to be the new model Oscar or Oscar’s new name and many customers have purchased these brands believing they were buying an Oscar.

These brands are much more profitable because they are less expensive to manufacture. They use cheaper components or engineering methods that both Oscar and Vitality 4 life find unacceptable.

Did you buy the juicer with the most profit or the juicer with the most value?

If you purchased one of these brands and were told it was an Oscar or made in the same factory as Oscar, you may have consumer rights and should contact the consumer regulation authorities in your area.

The only way Oscar and Vitality 4 Life could combat these events was to do what they do best and build a better juicer. The result is the Oscar Vital Max 900.

While other brands are offering a cheap imitation of the original Oscar design from over a decade ago, the Oscar Vital Max 900 is better than ever.

Vitality 4 Life maintains an active role in the development of the Oscar juicers. Below, on a recent trip to Korea, Roger Akins founder of Vitality 4 Life with Mr Kim from the Oscar factory assessing the latest design improvements to the newly released Commercial Oscar 930 Pro…

You can add precise ingredients to treat certain ailments, or you have the option of using excess or seasonal produce at will.
Of course, Oscar juicers are living food processors as well.

The development of the Oscar, and more recently the latest and greatest model the Oscar Vital Max 900 means that there is a living juice machine available at an affordable price.

This is because fresh (particularly organic) juice provides us with large doses of minerals, vitamins, essential fatty acids, carbohydrates, proteins and much more. All of these factors are vital to maintaining good health.
The Hippocrates Health Institute is renowned as the home of wheatgrass – founded by Anne Wigmore and Viktoras Kulvinskas. The Institute is currently under the leadership of Dr. Brian Clement.

Although eating fruits and vegetables in their natural state does provide us with a substantial amount of vitamins and minerals, we only obtain the maximum benefits from them when they are juiced. Much of their goodness is locked in the fibres, which are expelled from the body. When we juice the fruits and vegetables, their goodness is released from the fibres and we are able to drink the highly concentrated nutrients which are then able to enter our bloodstream very quickly.

Very few people eat enough raw fruits and vegetables. Juicing provides a quick and easy way to increase your consumption of these foods, and is recommended in addition to a high fibre diet.

Celery and celeriac juice is traditionally used for asthma, constipation, fever, fluid retention, gout, headache, inflammation, insomnia, kidneys, liver, lungs, migraine, nervous problems and weight loss. Fresh celery juice has a mild diuretic effect and helps curb the craving for sweets which benefits weight loss.

Rich in magnesium and iron content, with up to 95% water, fresh celery juice provides valuable nourishment for blood cells. Juicing celery will provide a good source of potassium, which is great for a hydrated and healthy skin. A major benefit in consuming celery juice is that it also helps to regulate blood pressure. Vitamin C found in celery helps to support the immune system and is a cold fighter. Fresh celery contains cancer-fighting compounds that detoxify pollutants including cigarette smoke.

Common salt or inorganic sodium chloride is harmful to the body, whereas organic sodium in celery juice is most beneficial. Sodium is called the youth element because it removes acid from the body, reduces stiffness and loosens the muscular skeletal frame.

Celery juice is useful for people who have high acidity resulting in calcification and degenerative bones and joints. This harmful accumulation is obtained from the over-indulgence of animal protein, too many grains, refined and concentrated sugars and concentrated starches. The body can benefit from an increased consumption of celery juice which helps to eliminate calcium deposits before they accumulate and cause harm.

Drinking one or two glasses of fresh celery juice can benefit people afflicted with nervous disorders and insomnia. Celery juice is a revitalizing brain tonic, enhances memory, and is good for dizziness. Some have even discovered the sobering qualities of raw celery juice as an antidote to alcoholic indulgences.

The juice from celery root or celeriac is valued as an appetizer that stimulates digestion. Celeriac juice has an almost immediate beneficial effect on the body when it is sipped. It is amazing how much juice you can extract from these large, hard, dry-looking roots.

Ideal in tropical climates, celery juice is a natural coolant and protector in hot weather. A glass of organic celeriac juice will keep you dry and comfortable, while those around you perspire. Great if you enjoy a vigorous workout like I do, celery juice can be used as a natural sports drink to replace valuable fluid and mineral loss due to sweating.

The higher the chlorophyll content, the darker is the celery. Use the stalks and green leaves of celery, which contain both sodium and insulin. Only juice firm celery stalks with fresh leaves. Celery can add a refreshing but salty taste to your juice recipes and is best juiced with carrots or apples.

The health benefits of juicing celery and celeriac are enormous. Introducing celery juice into your daily diet can not only improve long term health but also encourage weight loss. So get out your juicer and start juicing celery today!

Your liver is where fats are processed and metabolised, then stored if needed for extra energy. High amounts of sugar and processed foods also damage liver function, along with excesses of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes. The liver is the first contact point for toxins to be filtered out of your digestive system. Too many toxins can lead to poor liver function or Liver disease.

According to Chinese Medicine the liver is the organ ruled by the emotion of anger, so if your liver is toxic and not working well, or over loaded with fat, this can make you less tolerant, angry or just plain cranky. Tonifying or strengthening your liver can improve liver function, especially if done on a regular basis. Cutting down on foods and drinks that effect your liver can also help.

Certain herbs are very beneficial for your liver like Dandelion and St Mary’s Thistle. These are available in many liver tonics on the market at present. However prevention is always better than cure and one of the cheapest and best ways of having a healthy liver every day is to drink fresh organic juices. Juice is an amazing way of supplying life-giving enzymes, vitamins and minerals to restore and maintain a clean healthy liver.

With a healthy functioning liver life is less stressful and you will feel more energetic and happier. Be kind to your liver this festive season and have a happy and healthy Christmas.
