Juicing is known for increasing hydration, improving digestion and skin health, supporting weight loss, boosting your immune system, and so much more. Below is my favorite Green Detox Juice Recipe and the top 3 reasons for juicing! REDUCES INFLAMMATION Ingredients like turmeric, ginger, beets, and leafy greens have natural anti- inflammatory properties, which can help reduce inflammation in the body, supporting overall health. SUPPORTS DETOXIFICATION Fresh juices, especially those made with detoxifying ingredients like lemon, ginger, and greens, can help flush out toxins from your body. e antioxidants in the juices help neutralize free radicals and support your body's natural detox systems. BOOSTS NUTRIENT INTAKE Juices, especially those made from fruits and vegetables, are rich in vitamins (like A, C, and K) and minerals (like potassium and magnesium). Juicing helps break down plant cells, which can make it easier for your body to absorb the nutrients. ese nutrients are essential for immune function, skin health, and overall well-being. 1. Go for whole organic fruits and vegetables. 2. Don't overdo it. Juice all ingredients & enjoy right away! *Always follow your juicer instruction manual. 3. Most importantly-drink fresh. Freshly made juices are best for retaining nutrients, as storing juice can lead to nutrient loss. 38 VUENJ.COM
