Benhaimchoosing organic produce. When buying organic carrots, go for
the darkest coloured ones as they contain the most beta-carotene.
Carrots are the best base for most juices as they mix with
anything.
Apples
'An apple a day keeps the doctor away.' Containing high amounts
of soluble fibre, pectin, beta-carotene, vitamin C, some B vitamins
(particularly B6) and potassium, this saying may be true. Eat the
whole fruit including chewing the most nutritious core, just leave
the woody stem. Apples are the next best base to most juices as
they also mix with anything. Don't forget apple and carrot, or apple
and pear!
Juice
and
Health
Asthma symptoms can be helped using high magnesium juices
including watercress, kale, asparagus with a small amount of
lemon juice. Kale, parsley, peppers are all high in vitamin C and
chlorophyll which help colds with a little garlic, ginger and lemon
added.
Constipation is easily helped with the juice of rhubarb,
beetroot and spinach (not necessarily together). But beware of
these juices if you suffer from kidney stones.
Eyes are protected using carrots, orange coloured
vegetables and other green vegetables rich in beta-carotene.
Energy levels can be boosted with spinach, wheat grass
and most dark green leafy vegetable juices.
Hair
loss can be prevented through eating cabbage,
parsnip and alfalfa juice. These also help with skin and nail
problems.
Hangovers can be helped with watermelon juice or
carrot and apple whilst beetroot will help clean the liver and
kidneys.
