Sunshine ushered in day 2 of my 21 day juice fast journey. All of my juices da 1 - 7 will come from my
favorite spot for
lentil
soup, La Pita Cafe (696 & Greenfield - Southfield, MI). You will find carrots in every juice I drink this week!
Carrots are loaded with minerals that include:
sodium, iron,
potassium, calcium, manganese and sulfur (the third most abundant mineral in
your body after calcium).
Carrots are loaded with minerals that include: thiamin, niacin, vitamin B6 (aka
folate), vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K and vitamin A, which is good for your
eyes. They also are high in dietary fiber and contain beta-carotene which is
great for weight loss!
Breakfast and dinner juice was
CARROT-
CELERY-
SPNACH-
PARSLEY
Raw celery has Vitamin A, Calcium, Iron
and Vitamin C. Celery also has carbohydrates, fiber and sugar. In ancient Rome, Celery was considered a powerful
aphrodisiac
Spinach contains anti-oxidants and anti-cancer causing agents. This vegetable is a great source
of vitamin K, folate, magnesium and Betaine (which is used to cleanse the blood
system and relax the mind).
Parsley is vitamins and mineral rich,
containing vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium , thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, zinc ,
potassium, and iron . The boron and fluorine in parsley give strength to the
bones.
Lunch was CARROT BEET juice
Carrots have the highest content of Vitamin A out of all
vegetables
Beets are a highly
nutritious root, good for heart and colon health
Beets, are high in complex
carbohydrates and loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and
phytochemicals Beet
root are an excellent source of folate, manganese, vitamin C (which improves
absorption of iron from plant sources), potassium, iron, magnesium (needed for
the formation of protein and bone, making new cells, activating B vitamins and
blood clotting) and thiamin (a water-soluble B vitamin, that the body requires
to break down carbohydrates, fat and protein. It’s also required for the proper
functioning of the nerve cells). Beets are rich in anthocyanins (responsible
for the repair and protection of DNA in the body).
