Cleansing Vegetable Juice Recipes

By Dr. Ben Kim on August 22, 2004

Healthy Beverages

Vegetable juices are power packed with vitamins, minerals, and numerous phytochemicals that help cleanse your blood and prevent disease. If you don't already have a juicer, I highly recommend a champion juicer. We've used one for years without any problems.

It's important to stick mainly with vegetables that don't have a high sugar content. Root vegetables like red beets and carrots are extremely high in sugar when juiced, and can contribute to health problems if consumed on a regular basis.

Here are two of our favourite vegetable juices:

Cleansing Green Drink

8 leaves of romaine lettuce
2-3 ribs of celery
2 small to medium carrots

Refreshing Electrolyte Replacement Drink

Two handfuls of parsley
3-4 ribs of celery
1 apple
Squeeze of lemon

Enjoy these cleansing and delicious juices.

If you prefer blended vegetable smoothies/drinks over freshly pressed juices, I recommend getting a Vita Mix Blender.

Just a note to let you know how much I appreciate your newsletter. As a fellow health care provider (optometrist) and medical researcher, I find your distillation of the literature into lay terms to be accurate and very understandable. I really enjoyed your contribution regarding macular degeneration. Keep up the good work. - Kristine Erickson, OD, PhD, FAAO

I get a lot of e-mailed newsletters and yours is the only one I read thoroughly from top to bottom. Your advice is enlightening, educational, easy to follow and it works! Thank you so much for all that you offer. - Lisa Abramovic

Thanks for your excellent health newsletter. I look forward to it every week. Thanks for providing the best online health resource I have found. - Moorea Maguire, M.A.

I thank you and your staff for such a great website. I am former National Level Bodybuilder so I know a thing or two about health and fitness. Your site is very valuable and I do my best to pass it on to friends and people I train. It is also a helpful resource in my career as a human service provider working with clients who need to recover from substance abuse. I believe a major part of recovery is getting your body and mind feeling healthy and strong. Thank you again! Great Website! - Michael Christopher, MSW
