Beetroot Blast

Janet, one of our nutritionists says, "Raw juices are brilliant remedies - energy releasing, life giving and fat blasting, getting nutrients through a clogged system and into every cell in the body. Beetroot contains betaine which stimulates liver cell function and protects the liver and bile ducts. Every 100g of beetroot juice contains 5mg of iron in addition to trace elements which aid its absorption. The essential oils in carrots have an effect on mucous membranes and stimulate blood circulation in the stomach and intestinal tissues. Carrot juice is good for constipation and diarrhoea as it has a balancing action on the body. Headaches, eczema and skin blemishes may be linked to bad digestion and may be rectified with this juice. Carotene in carrots is good for immunity and vision. Celery is distinctly alkaline and eliminative and recommended for all disturbances caused by accumulation of toxins, while cucumber is a good diuretic, blood cleanser and anti-inflammatory."
