Beet, Carrot, and Mint Juice

Ever since I made that ginger zinger juice a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been making up a glass of fresh pressed juice almost every weekend. Since our wedding day is quickly approaching, I feel like the extra helping of skin healthy nutrients is definitely a good thing! This beet and mint juice may sound pretty gross, but I promise it’s good! 

Beet, Carrot, and Mint Juice Health Benefits

Beets || Like most fruits and vegetables, beets are high in antioxidants. However, beets are high in a specific group of antioxidants called betalains that actually support the Phase 2 detox reaction in your liver. This reaction binds toxins (pesticides, preservatives, some food additives, etc.) to a substance like sulphur to make it water soluble so it can be excreted out of the body.

Carrots || Carrots are an excellent source of Vitamin A. This vitamin is not only important for eye heath, but plays a big role in supporting your immune system by maintaining the endothelial cells that line our body’s interior surfaces as well as the production of white blood cells. 

Apple || Apples are a good source of vitamin C and potassium, a nutrient that has been associated with heart health. In addition, apples are high in certain antioxidants like quercetin. 

Lemon || Lemons are a great source of vitamin C which is important for healthy skin as it supports the production of collagen, the structural component of skin, cartilage, and more.
