BEETS Why We Love Beets Beets are a welcome addition to any juice, adding palate-pleasing sweetness and equally satisfying health benefits. Beet juice has been found to lower blood pressure, purify the blood, and increase the production of glutathione, which helps the body eliminate environmental toxins. Scrub them well under running water, chop, and juice. (And keep the greens—you can juice them, too.) CELERY Why We Love Celery 1. It’s one of the most hydrating foods we can put in our bodies. 2. Celery’s incredible alkalizing effect helps to equalize the body’s pH. 3. These stalks have special essential oils—you can probably smell them right away—that help regulate the nervous system and are very calming. 4. Celery supplies our cells with the soluble, live sodium they need to uptake nutrition and stay hydrated, which is why celery juice is a good rehydration drink for athletes. CARROTS Why We Love Carrots 1. Carrot juice is sometimes called the golden juice of healing—it cleanses and restores the liver. 2. As a deep-soil root vegetable, carrots absorb an abundant array of minerals from the earth; they are especially rich in B vitamins and folate. 3. They have a surprising dark side: Early varieties of carrot were mostly purple and black. Our modern orange carrot stems from a mutant source that lacked those pigments. 4. When in a rush or in the mood for simplicity, carrot juice tastes terrific on its own.
