Green Juice-1

Juicing is a a good way to absorb nutrition from vegetables. Most of us cannot take in large quantities of vegetables. Juicing would be therefore a good way to add a variety of vegetables to your diet. The juice nutrients need very little time to enter the blood stream which in turn carries it to the parts of the body that needs it the most. The body need not wait for the vegetables to be digested to get the nutrients.

Green juices detox the body effectively. They contain large quantities of  chlorophyll a nutrient that attaches to toxins and heavy metals and removes them from your body. It also increases your blood's oxygen-carrying capacity by catalyzing red blood cell production.

Ingredients for 2 tall glasses:

• Apple -1 number
• Carrot - 1 number
• Lollo Rosso Lettuce - 1 number
• Tomato - 4 numbers
• Cumber - 2 numbers
• Orange - 1 number
• White Pumpkin - 200gm

Wash the fruits, vegetables and the lettuce thoroughly and let them dry.  Peel the orange and remove the thick skin of the white pumpkin. I used a juicer/blender from National to extract the juice off the fruits and vegetables.

Juice the vegetables first and the apple last as it's juice oxidizes quite quickly when it comes in contact with air. For maximum efficacy the juice has to be consumed as soon as it is extracted. 

Do not store the juice or let it stand.  Do not add any sugar or salt as it would lose its potency to be absorbed by the body; it tastes fresh and good as it is! A couple of ice cubes will make for chill refreshing drink during a hot summer day.
