Apple Beet Celery Juice - ABC for Good Health

This juice is a nutrient packed medley of red apple and powerful vegetables, tailored to boost your immune function and reduce inflammation.

Remember if you want to harness the maximum amount of enzyme power and vitamins from foods you juice, you need a juicer with the motor away from the ingredients. Also juicer with metal parts generates heat which breaks down the enzymes. It's worth the small investment to buy a masticating juicer. It keeps the nutrients in your foods intact.

One option an Omega Juicer— the motor is in the back, away from the chute.

Also, there are no metal parts in the 'juicing' mechanism... instead there is acplastic rotating grinder that basically chews the foods releasing the juice.

Apple Beet Celery Juice

Strong anti-oxidants and vitamins.

• 1 small, or half a medium organic Red-skin Apple

• 1/4 organic Beet

• 3-4 organic Broccoli florets

• 2-3 stalks fresh organic Celery

• 1 organic Red Radish (2 if small)

• 1/2 large Carrot

• 3 leaves organic Red or Green Leaf Lettuce

• 2 tsp. fresh organic Lemon juice (add at the end)

Cut each item into slices that will fit the juicer's chute.  Add lemon juice at the end. Juice all, and drink up!

TIP: Save the pulp and add to stew, soup, or muffins!  You can freeze it and use it later.

When Should I Drink My Juice?

It's best to drink your juice on an empty stomach, either first thing in the morning, or an hour away from meals. This will allow you to absorb the maximum amount of nutrients.

CAUTION:

If you are just beginning to juice, and your normal diet includes many processed foods or refined sugar, take it slow! Start by juicing once every 2 - 3 days and increase the amount slowly.  The reason for this is when you juice, your body absorbs the nutrients very quickly, and will begin to detox your cells. You don’t want to overwhelm your system.

Fruits

Most fruits are high in sugar.  Stick with Berries, red skin apples (like Fuji), under-ripe pears and peaches. Diabetics should consult their doctor or a nutritionist before beginning a juicing regimen that includes fruit.

Avo-Carrot Juice Drink - Immune Booster

A well-known Immune Clinic in So. California recommends this as a daily regimen. It takes a bit of work, and investment in a proper Juicer.

The benefits of Avo-Carrot juice is that it contains Abscisic acid (a plant hormone) which helps build the body's immune system.

Avocado contains the highest amount of the carotenoid lutein, and related carotenoids, including zeaxanthin, alpha carotene, beta-carotene, as well as Vit.E ... which is necessary for prostate health and brain function.  This juice combo has shown to inhibit the growth of oral cancer cells.

Recipe

• 1/2 an Avocado

• 8 oz. of freshly squeezed organic Carrot juice (about 6 medium carrots)

Place avocado in non-metal bowl (I use a marble mortar) and mash very well with wooden or marble pestle.  Add the carrot juice and mix with a non-metallic spoon or a straw.

Mix well, and let sit for 30 minutes.  Sip through a straw, do not gulp down.  Alternate juices every 3 days or so to get the full spectrum of fruit and veggies.
