health benefits

Beetroot

Beetroot is regarded as the "jewel" of the vegetable kingdom. They are the sweetest of all vegetables, they're loaded with nutrients and plant-based minerals.

The folate in beetroots helps lower high levels of homocysteine in your blood. Homocysteine is an amino acid produced when animal proteins are broken down.

Beetroot leaves can also be eaten or juiced if you have them available. They have known benefits for improving eye health, vitamin K, and vitamin C, for boosting the immune system. The leaves are actually higher in iron than spinach leaves.

Lemon

Lemons are a must have ingredient in any juicing kitchen. They help make veggie juices taste better and help fruit juices last longer when stored in the fridge. Lemons are rich in bioflavonoids which can significantly boost the immune system and reduce inflammation in the body. Lemon juice is known to be particularly beneficial for colds, coughs, and sore throats.

Lemons act as a cleanser and astringent; they squeeze toxins from the tissues and stimulate the liver to detoxify.
