For defense, heart and brain
For defense, heart, brain: The combination of these five vegetables makes the healthiest juice in the world. Mix a 0.3-liter drink daily (all in equal parts) and add a dash of wheat germ oil.
Carrot strengthens the eyes
The root vegetable provides beta carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. And this vitamin protects and nourishes in a wonderful way. In the retina this is the stuff we can see well with. And: Vitamin A is a cell-protector, reduces the risk of inflammation, promotes the growth of new cells and keeps the skin healthy.
Beetroot keeps away stroke
And in terms of beetroot, researchers found that they keep the veins free and flexible. This protects against stroke and heart attack. Beetroot delivers betaine and folic acid. In the blood, this team lowers the body's own waste product homocysteine, which increases the "calcification" of the veins and thus the risk of life-threatening blood clots. Betaine also strengthens the liver.
Sauerkraut pushes the immune system
Milk-fermented sauerkraut juice gives the healthiest n- juice mix a fresh flavor. The highlight, however, are the masses of lactic acid bacteria. They strengthen the natural intestinal flora. And that does a good 70 percent of the body's total defensive work against bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites and pollutants. Mustard oils from sauerkraut juice inhibit inflammation, and iron promotes blood formation.
Celery protects the heart twice
The juice from the tuber and the celery herb contains certain essential oils (phthalides). They relax the arteries, which lowers the blood pressure and relieves the heart. And: phthalides break down stress hormones. It also lowers blood pressure and calms the heartbeat. The mixture of potassium, calcium and magnesium from celery strengthens the nerves.
Tomato lowers the cancer risk
The super-healthy substance from tomatoes is called lycopene and is considered one of the most effective inhibitors of cancer, researchers at the University of Heidelberg. Lycopene protects the genome of the cells against attacks of free radicals, which arise in the metabolism. Research also shows that this plant dye reduces the risk of osteoporosis and protects the skin from damage caused by UV rays.
