GREEN JUICING SKIN BENEFITS!

With all the hype and craze about juicing it only makes you wonder what the benefits of juicing may be and if there are any real benefits for our skin. Whatever you put in your body would show on your skin and more effective than what you put on your skin. Regardless of how much money you spend on skin care products you will never be able to correct and reverse the damages caused to the skin due to fast food and junk food. Eating right and healthy which consists of mostly fruits and vegetables is the best thing you can do for your skin.

Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins A, E, B complex, and C as well as beta-carotene, silica, and zinc. These vitamins and nutrients are essential in maintaining a healthy and youthful skin. I know many people I speak to have a hard time eating vegetables and this new juicing craze is the best alternative to ingesting raw vegetables.

There are so many recipes out there and basically whatever fruits and vegetables you like can be put together when juicing. My most favorite recipe when juicing is basically the green juice and there is no specific ingredient that you must put into the juice. Here is a sample recipe for a delicious green juice.

Romaine leaves

Celery stalks

Green apples (Adds sweetness to your juice)

Spinach

Kale

1 small bunch of parsley

Lemon (peeled)

1 Squash

Small piece of ginger (Depending on how spicy you like your juice)

Dark and leafy greens tend to be very rich in chlorophyll, silicon and B vitamins. Chlorophyll is known to be a great antioxidant and reduces oxidative damage on the body. Parsley is a great ingredient to promote digestive enzyme production and also helps cleans the kidneys, liver and urinary tract. Ginger is great for digestion, but also gives the juice a nice taste and complements the lemon.

Have a great tuesday!
