My Green Juice Recipe

Today I tried something different; I didn't use a recipe from a book but created my own Green Juice Recipe. I was surprised to be honest how good it actually tasted; way better than I thought it would!

What I juiced in my juicer:
- 2 green apples
- 1 inch cucumber
- 1 inch zucchini
- 3 salad leaves (I used Cos Salad)
- a very small piece of green capsicum

I juiced everything in between the two apples; so therefore first one apple than all other ingredients and last another apple.

I have also done some research so that I can actually tell you some of the health benefits of my Green Juice Recipe from above.

Raw Apple Juice is good because it cleanses the liver and kidneys! It also contains Vitamin A which is great for your vision and Vitamin C, an effective antioxidant. There is also fiber in Raw Apple Juice which helps prevent the build up of cholesterol in your blood vessels. Of course there is also physio nutrients to reduce the risk of heart disease and potassium which can reduce pain associated with arthritis and rheumatism.

Lets look at the health benefits of Raw Cucumber Juice. Raw Cucumber Juice can be good for acne, arthritis, eczema, fluid retention, hair loss, high blood pressure, kidneys, psoriasis, stomach disorders and weight loss. It is a good source of folate, magnesium, Vitamin B6, C and K, as well as potassium, panthothermic acid, phosphorus, thiamin, sulphur. And that is only the benefits of two of the ingredients of the above Green Juice Recipe!

Raw Lettuce Juice is also amazing because it contains so much good stuff that it aids digestion, helps with constipation and may also aid with insomnia. It is also good to know that it can reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease and stroke as well as cateracts. Raw Lettuce is also good for hair loss and what I found quite interesting can help with problems of premature ejaculation!

Raw Zucchini Juice has similar health benefits as cucumber juice as is generally good for bladder problems, kidney health, skin conditions as well as weight loss. Raw Zucchini Juice is in addition also a good internal cleanser!

Finally our last ingredient Raw Capsicum Juice is rich in lycopene which is an antioxidant that helps prevent cancer. It also contains Vitamin C to help the production of collagen which protects against skin disorders. Another health benefit of Raw Capsicum Juice is that it contains Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B9; both of these help control blood levels and also reduce the risk of heart disease.

I was quite impressed with all the health benefits that my Green Juice Recipe has and I can assure you I will be making it again!

Please also feel free to leave any comments or suggestions maybe even recommendations. Thank you! :)
