Wonder how I keep myself healthy and energetic?
Another secret besides having good soup often is super juice in the morning on an empty stomach. I have been taking healthy green juices for many years now. No breakfast but juice. It has improved my digestion system tremendously.
So this morning I thought I should share this little secret of mine with you all.
Many years ago, I started juicing with bittergourd, green apple, celery, ginger, cucumber and lemon which helps in managing the levels of blood sugars, cleanses liver, boost immune systerm and aids in weight loss. Then I have changed to juice without the bittergourd but everything else and sometimes with kale. 3 years ago, I started adding beetroot into my green juices. Beetroot is a good source of potassium, it helps to control blood pressure, control muscle power, slow down dementia, may prevent cancer, keep your liver healthy, reduce cholesterol and control healthy weight too! It is also a good source of iron, folate, magnesium zinc, sodium. It has been great.
* Fun fact of consuming beetroot : Your urine and stools may turn red or pinkish after eating beets. This condition is known as beeturia, is harmless! 😛
Ingredients for Mel's Super Power Juice :

BTW, dont throw away the juice pulp.. you can use for facial, as fertilizer, cook them into omlettes, put into your soup, make puree, make into gravy, or put into bread dough for baking.. and be creative with them. #Zerowaste #zerowasteliving
