Vegetables and Fruits Juice!

In my younger years, my mother was always making all kind of juices from vegetables and fruits, and all kind of porridges, especially green plantain porridge. She would talk about the benefits of these foods for our body, and our well being. I always thought she was saying that so we can drink the vegetables and fruits juices easily.

I began searching about certain foods and their effects on our body. One juice I never like is the beet juice. I remember she would make it with beetroots, carrots, coconut milk and orange juice, or the juice of a fruit call chadeque wich tastes kind of like a grapefruit.
I have my own version of beet juice. I make it with beets, apples, celery, carrots and ginger root. When you are in the mood, you can add other vegetables or fruits like: kale, cauliflower, mango, broccoli, strawberries etc, whatever floats your boat. It will not take long before you feel the benefits of the juices. When I was having my chemotherapy treatments, I had my juice as often as my body allowed me.

It is an excellent source of  calcium, magnesium, copper, phosphorous, sodium and iron. It has significant anticancer properties, it contains Betacyanin that restores cells respiratory and  inhibits cancer cells growth. Beet juice is very good for curing liver toxicity, kidney ailments and many other unwanted ailments.***
