More About the Author

Jay Kordich was born in 1923 just outside San Diego, California. He grew up in the shadow of his hard working father who was a fisherman and captain of his own fishing boat. Jay learned early on the value of a hard day's work. He also grew and developed the muscles that would serve him well as a football player at the University of Southern California.

In 1948 at the age of 25, Jay was diagnosed with a serious illness and was told he may not have long to live. After reviewing all the treatments available, he left California and traveled to New York City to see Dr. Max Gerson who was treating terminally ill patients with fresh raw juices and healthy cleansing diets. Jay became his patient and immediately began a regimen of large doses of raw carrot/apple juice. It wasn't long before Jay's health was restored and the direction of his life was changed forever.

From a star athlete to surviving a life-threatening illness, all by the age of 26, Jay soon decided he wanted to spread the word of fresh juices and eating a healthy diet. For the next 40 years Jay took his message to anyone who would listen, from county fairs to large department stores to seaside juicing shops. It was his passion to teach everyone he could reach how to be healthy through the power of fresh juices.

In 1990 Jay appeared on his first, national infomercial and Americans embraced him. They were excited to hear his message of long life, health and vitality. He became a New York Times best selling author, speaker and lecturer and created audio and video programs to spread his message of good health through live foods.

Through the years Jay has been featured on:
* More than 500 television shows
* Over 1000 radio talk shows
* USA TODAY (cover article)
* WALL STREET JOURNAL (cover article)
* PEOPLE MAGAZINE
* FORBES
* NEW YORK TIMES
* WASHINGTON POST
* ABC NEWS NIGHTLINE 
NBC NEWS THE TODAY SHOW

In 2005, at the age of 82, Jay and his wife Linda co-wrote his latest book, "Live Foods Live Bodies". In this 240 page full color book, you will find Jay's life long secrets to vital health, stamina and longevity through the power of living foods and juices. There are recipes, meal planning, preparation guidelines, cleansing programs, and more. Page after page of information, served up step by step to help you achieve long lasting health into your 80s, 90s, 100s and beyond!

Now jay is a healthy and vibrant 87 years old. He looks and acts like a man half that age. He is out to teach everyone the "secrets" to his long and vital life.
Jay says, "My mission is to motivate, teach and inspire people on a global level to live a healthy life by consuming more fresh juices on a daily basis. These live foods have transformed and helped heal my life on so many levels for the past sixty years."

5.0 out of 5 stars A simple juicing book with TONS of recipes, October 4, 2007

By 

EMA (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Juiceman's Power of Juicing: Delicious Juice Recipes for Energy, Health, Weight Loss, and Relief from Scores of Common Ailments (Paperback)

This is a nice, straight forward juicing book that offers some "extras." It's simple, but it has an extensive array of recipes and leaves no stone unturned.

There's a section on produce that tells the reader what each item is good for (which vitamins and minerals it contains) and how to buy and store them.

The "Juiceman" also includes a crash course in all the nutrients we need to be healthy, WHAT we need them for, and in which juices we can find them in.

At the end of the book, the author includes a Q&A section and tips and points on how to make juicing an integral part of your life and what to eat to compliment a diet chock full of fresh juices.

All in all, this is a great book. It may not appeal to some who are in search of something a little more fancy, with a more complex layout. But, everything considered, it's a sure bet.

3.0 out of 5 stars needs more variation of recipes., January 21, 2009

Ready2Fly - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Juiceman's Power of Juicing: Delicious Juice Recipes for Energy, Health, Weight Loss, and Relief from Scores of Common Ailments (Paperback)

Jay knows his stuff, no doubt about it. I enjoyed the part on nutrition and juicing for healing. I mainly juice vegetables instead of fruits because fruits are loaded with fructose (sugar). The vegetable juice recipes lack variation and are all based on carrots: carrot & apple, carrot & celery, carrot & cabbage, and combination of both, etc.. Now, these are wonderful juices and I love them but I'm trying to juice everyday and drinking carrot juice gets to be too much. I wouldn't mind recipes which involve all kinds of veggies. I did agree with the author on buying organic produce whenever possible and he tells you why. All in all this is a decent juicing book with simple recipes.
