We've always known the health benefits of drinking the right fresh juices and even more so, anything that's green has good all natural health contents. To top of these good points, eating fruits and vegetable raw is a sure way of getting the best out of them!
Well, my aunt, who has always been a health fanatic recently gave me a simple fresh juice mix. I did not doubt for a second that the concoction would be a power drink full of healthy benefits. Afterall, how wrong can you go with raw freshness in a vegetable and fruit mixture.
The Five Greens
- Cucumber
- Celery
- Green Apples
- Green Pepper
- Bitter Gourd
Juice up all the above in a juicer. It's no science how much of each of the above you need for the mix, but after mixing up the drink a few times, I find changing the number of green apples I use, changes the sweetness of the drink.
At first the taste of the bitter gourd might take a bit of getting use to but after that, the drink is simply refreshing! Great for a "wake-me-up" in the morning as you blend your juices before heading out of the door to work or as a "pick-me-up" after a long day.
A full glass of the drink not only give you your complete daily dose of vegetable and fruit nutrients, it also helps in detox program and special low fat dietary programme. My aunt tells me that it helps to lower cholesterol levels as well. If I break down the health benefits, I'm sure it does a whole lot more as well. Try it!
