To finish here I leave you two juices made preferably with a slow revolution extractor machine. These machines cold press vegetables and fruits, preserving all the vitamins, minerals and enzymes as much as possible:
Here it is important that you keep in mind that it is not advisable to make only fruit juices since they have a high glycemic index and will produce upward spikes in glucose and insulin. By adding green leaves we are counteracting this effect.
Green juice
- 3 stalks of celery.
- 1 cucumber.
- 1 bunch of thorns or chard (you can choose any raw green leaf you have in the fridge)
- A few sprigs of mint.
- 1 lemon/lime cut into slices.
- 1 apple.
Raw beet juice only
I have included this one because it is a wonderful blood tonic, contains iron and helps detoxify the liver. Thanks to its nitric oxide content, it improves circulation and widens the arteries. It has been seen that it is ideal for athletes.
– Prepare the juice with 2 raw beets, previously chopped.
