Spring Body Cleaning
Juicing is a great way to cleanse your body and give your digestive system a break. It's beneficial to do a full body detox every time the seasons change. Here are my top picks to juice:
Carrots- Beta-carotene. Great for liver, brain, eye health
Cucumber-Pancreas, liver, high in silica for glowing skin, hair, nails
Celery-Alkalizing, high in electrolytes, potassium, reduces cellulite, inflammation, tightens skin
Asparagus-High in vitamins C and D, removes heavy metals, radiation.
Beets-Circulatory system, cleanses blood, Athletes-increases endurance
Broccoli- High in chromium-balances blood sugar and hormones
Cabbage-Source of sulfur- stomach ulcers, detox, digestive issues, joints, leaky gut
Cilantro-Heavy metal detox
Garlic-Heart health, Candida, colds/flu
