To go along with the theme of the month – DETOXing- I wanted to share my Green Detox Juice Recipe. Some of the detoxing benefits of these ingredients are listed below:
CORIANDER/CILANTRO
Causes the liver to release the bile, source of selenium, mobilizes mercury & other neurotoxins from the cell membranes
CELERY
Raises Hydrochloric acid to produce bile, neutralizes and flushes out toxins. Fights free radicals & Aids in digestions
LEMON
Hydrates, alkalizing effects, aids in digestion & rich in Vitamin C to boost immunity
GREEN APPLE
Contains pectin, which is a soluble fiber to support digestion & contains phlorizin which stimulates bile production
