Green goodness juice 🌿

Hi guys,I have been juicing for over 2 years now with a juice at least every morning. You would feel amazed at how great you feel for it! I would definitely advise giving it a go! 🌱

Why are green juices so good for you and what do the ingredients help with?

Cucumber:
Cucumbers are great in helping reduce inflammation when applied directly to the skin but they can work all sorts of wonders inside the body aswell! Cucumbers contain phytosterols and are shown to help lower cholesterol levels, as well as electrolytes like potassium that are important for keeping blood pressure in check. They’re also super hydrating thanks to their high water content.

Celery:
Celery is rich in natural sodium making it an important part of a juicing plan or workout related drink for a healthy dose of electrolytes. Celery also contains carotenoids like lutein which promote eye health especially with age and may help reduce risk of developing certain cancers.

Apples:
Research supports consuming apples to help reduce the risk of certain types of cancers, like colon cancer, thanks in part to their antioxidants, including quercitin. These same powerhouse nutrients and high soluble fiber content (yes that’s the kind of fiber that is in your juice!), can also help reduce cholesterol levels.

Kale:
Kale is a fantastic source of calcium, iron, copper, manganese, phosphorus, potassium and vitamins A and C. Kale is low calorie and yet incredibly dense with nutrients. Kale also boasts compounds that promote eye and skin health, like lutein. It’s generally better to get your lutein from eating or juicing kale than supplements.

Lemon: Looking for a vitamin-C packed, natural anti-nausea, metabolism and immune supporting addition to your favorite juice? Lemons are where it’s at! Did you know that even smelling a fresh lemon may help calm a queasy stomach? For a less bitter taste in juice, peel your lemons first. And don’t forget to add it to warm water for a morning ritual that starts your day on the right foot.

Ginger:
Long touted for its natural digestive aid qualities, ginger has become a staple for those looking to support their immune system, reduce inflammation or ease an angry tummy.
The specific combinations of fruits and veggies in this juice have helpful synergy. For example, consuming a vitamin C rich food like apple and lemon at the same time as a plant-based iron source, like kale, can help our body absorb more of the iron.

Why not try making this at home?
