Please excuse the ugly colour of this juice, ha! This just was packed full of oranges (two different types), lemon, kale, cucumber, carrots, nectarines and ginger. I love adding a bit of ginger to juices, it adds so much flavour. I started out juicing the carrots, oranges & nectarines, and it was such a nice, orangey-red colour. The kale, grapes and cucumber turned it this... brown-ish colour. Haha. But it was good! Trust me! Haha.
Here are some health benefits of juicing carrots (via juicing-for-health):
Acidosis: The vital organic alkaline elements in carrots help balance the blood acidity and blood sugar.
Acne: Its powerful cleansing properties are effective in detoxifying the liver, thus overall effective for acne which are caused by toxicity of the blood.
Anemia: Carrot's molecules are closest to human's hemoglobin molecules, making it very beneficial in blood-building.
Atherosclerosis: The highly cleansing power of this miracle juice scrubs away even the old build-up of arterial deposits, reducing the risks of heart diseases and stroke.
Asthma: The anti-oxidants effectively protects the respiratory system from infections and free-radical attacks.
Cancer: Studies show that adding one carrot per day in our diet significantly reduces cancer risks.

ReplyDeleteLove you blog by the way...I am a new follower! xox
I haven't gotten into the whole juicing thing but I definitely think it works. I'm just too stuck on solid food to make a change.
