The world is full of color, and you can enjoy it just about anywhere you go, in any way you want. Your health wants in on the action. Nutritious, clean eating is a perfect way to incorporate even more color into your daily life. A healthy plate has every color of the rainbow, and so can your glass—let’s talk colorful, nutritious juices (today is red!).
- Carrots: Rich in vitamin A, carrot serve as a great detoxifying agent that removes toxins from the blood and delays aging, keeping you mentally and physically feeling younger. Vitamin A is also important for vision and can prevent night blindness. Carrots are excellent sources of vitamin C, which is the chief producer of collagen, a protein that makes up most of the cells of the body and is an active participant in the cell renewal process. Carrots are also an important source of vitamin K, vitamin B8, folate, potassium, iron, copper, and manganese. Vitamin K plays a huge role in regeneration by promoting blood clot formation. Folate is a primary component of DNA and is vital for the reproduction and renewal of cells of our body. Ions such as potassium, iron, copper and manganese can also be found in carrots and are important for various physiological processes of our body like maintaining normal blood pressure and respiration.
- Beets: Beetroot has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, making it another natural detoxifying agent. It is a good source of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B6, and ions such as magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, and copper, all of which are important for bodily processes. The methionine and glycine present in beet juice prevent build up of fat cells. Lycopene, another component of beet juice, keep your skin firm and prevents premature aging.
