Also, if he does continue, I think you may feel the need to upgrade your juicer. If you think the juice tastes good now, you ain’t tasted nothing yet!
I should probably explain what I mean better.
When you use a non-centrifugal juicer, the juice retains all of its flavour, and more importantly, all of its nutrients.
The Jack Lalanne juicers are centrifugal. A good fun type of juicer for beginners. But these types of juicers will destroy or oxidate many of the vital nutrients due to their speed or heat output.
If you are serious about juicing for health or your hubby finds himself becoming addicted to juicing, then the next step is to obtain a non-centrifugal
Non-centrifugal is also known as a cold-press juicer or masticating juicer
Something like this:

The taste of juice from a non-centrifugal is a million miles better than the juice from a centrifugal juicer. That is what I mean by “if you think the juice tastes good now, you ain’t tasted nothing yet”.
Once you have got one, you won’t give it up for love nor money. That is why you see lots of centrifugal juicers at garage sales, but you never see any non-centrifugals.
We even take our non-centrifugal on holiday with us.
One more thing I have thought of. Cabbage juice is very good for our condition but most people can’t handle it, as it is very potent. If you try cabbage juice, then make sure you dilute it with water. I don’t normally recommend diluting vegetable juices with plain water. If I have to dilute, I would use some sort of fruit or vegetable that has a high water content (i.e.) watermelon or cucumber. As that way, you get the water from the plant which contains natural vitamins, rather than just plain water. However, cabbage juice is so potent, that diluting with plain filtered water is the best way to go. First time I had cabbage juice I didn’t dilute it, and I got a burning sensation in my tummy and the most chronic cabbage farts imaginable.
It was flippin foul. :stinks:
However, I have been experimenting with juicing cabbage for some time now, and have now got to the stage where I can tolerate it and drink it straight. Which is good, because it really is most beneficial for our condition.
Wheatgrass is another potent but highly beneficial item for our condition. Drinking it straight will make me vomit. But diluting it cucumber and celery is great. Or sweetening it with grapes and apple is also good. You cannot juice wheatgrass in a centrifugal juicer. You will need a non-centrifugal juicer or a handheld manual metal wheatgrass juicer. For more information on the benefits of wheatgrass, then search for articles about Ann Wigmore or the Hippocrates Health Institute
Again. experimenting and building things up slowly is the key for our condition. But your husband can luckily go into it gung-ho.
