Benefits of Beets Juice
These gorgeous root vegetables add color to your diet, but they’re also full of health benefits!
Can Increase Your Stamina
Did you know that beets are popular among athletes? They can increase endurance and many drink beet juice before events. (1) Even if you’re not an athlete, you can benefit from this unique vegetable.
Nitrates in the beets maximize your oxygen intake, giving your cells a boost of energy, and increasing blood flow to muscles. (2) Now you can replace those sugary electrolyte drinks!
Has Anti-Inflammatory Benefits
The compound that gives beets their beautiful hue can also reduce inflammation in the body. (3) Inflammation can be caused by several factors, including an overabundance of free radicals.
These free radicals wreak havoc on your body and cause it to become inflamed. When inflammation is on the rise, it can turn into diseases like arthritis, diabetes, and even COPD.
That’s why the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits are a gift from God you can utilize often.
May Decrease Your Risk of Cancer
Studies are limited but promising; beets may decrease your chances of developing cancer. Raw beets contain at least three cancer-fighting properties that can kill cancer cells and slow their growth. (4)(5)
You can use red beets or golden beets. I prefer the taste of red but have used golden in a pinch.
Healthy Homemade Juice Ingredients
This delicious, homemade juice contains simple, easy-to-find ingredients. Here’s what you need to add to your shopping list.
Carrots: This bright vegetable adds natural sweetness to the beet juice recipe. It contains beta-carotene, which your body turns into vitamin A, an important nutrient for overall health. It helps your vision stay sharp and keeps your immune system strong. (6) Bonus: Carrots are delicious and an excellent replacement for unhealthy chips.
Italian Parsley: Your kidneys play an essential part in eradicating waste from your body. Your kidneys can get sluggish every so often, especially if you’re prone to kidney stones.
This is where parsley comes in! Parsley can eradicate excess mineral deposits that lead to kidney stones and even balance PH levels in your urine. (7) Plus, it’s versatile, and you can put it in so many different dishes. Flat-leaf parsley will do if you don’t have Italian.
Apples: Apples have a high fiber content, which is excellent for those who struggle with overeating. This fiber turns into a thick substance in your stomach that takes longer to digest. (8) This increased digestion time means your hunger signals are put on hold.
I recommend using two different kinds of apple juices in this recipe. Doing this creates a unique flavor profile! Experiment with your favorites to find your new favorite combo.
Ginger: Fresh ginger adds a hint of warm spice to this beverage. This spice is anti-inflammatory and can reduce oxidative stress in the body. (9) People have used it for ages to treat digestion problems and relieve nausea.
Ginger can balance a slow digestive process, one of the biggest causes of indigestion. (10)The beet-ginger juice combo makes it a powerhouse for health.
Cayenne Pepper: I love garnishing my beet juice recipe with a bit of cayenne pepper. The combination of sweetness and spice is perfect!
All spicy peppers are full of capsaicin compounds that can boost metabolism, protect against heart disease, help lower high blood pressure, and act as a pain reliever. (11) The hotter the pepper, the higher the capsaicin count!
Cleansing Beet Juice Recipe
This fresh juice recipe comes together in minutes and uses a juicer, one of my favorite appliances. A juicer is a fantastic tool to keep on hand. You can create the best concoctions using whatever produce you have in the fridge!
- 3 organic carrots
- 3 Italian parsley sprigs
- 1 organic beet, leafy greens included
- 1-inch piece of organic ginger root
- 1 organic Granny Smith apple
- 1 organic Empire apple*
- Organic ground cayenne pepper (optional)
- Put the carrots, parsley, apples, beet, and ginger through a juicer. Stir the juice gently to mix. Garnish with cayenne pepper, if desired.
Step One: Juice the Produce
Place the carrots, parsley, apples, beet, and ginger in a juicer such as a Nutri-Max Juicer or Omega Juicer. Gently mix to combine. Garnish with cayenne pepper if desired. Enjoy!
Mama Z Pro Tip: Place a supermarket bag in the waste bucket of your juicer. This prevents the beets from staining your juicer and halves your clean-up time.
Next Steps to Detox
Drinking this cleansing beet juice will make you feel rejuvenated and healthy. You may find yourself inspired to detox other areas of your life! Here are a few things you can do to keep your body feeling great.
- Purify your water. Traditional tap water is full of toxins that contribute to congenital birth disabilities, obesity, diabetes, and more. Consider an in-home water filtration system.
- Eat clean, healthy foods. Fuel your body with fruits, vegetables, wholesome grains, and lean protein. We have breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert ideas if you need inspiration!
- Spend time outdoors. Even if you live in an urban area, you can still find local trails or hang out in your backyard. You can also practice forest bathing in your home through aromatherapy. Doing so gives your body a natural dose of vitamin D and promotes relaxation.
- Consider detoxing emotionally as well as physically. Anger, resentment, bitterness, and unforgiveness can all take root and manifest physically.
- Utilize essential oils! Aromatherapy is one of God’s greatest gifts to man. Essential oils can boost your energy, strengthen your immune system, and promote positivity. Get a diffuser and start filling the air with unique blends!
- Get a good night’s rest. Learn the amount of sleep your body needs, and stick to a bedtime routine. Hint: Turn off blue-light devices and shut down the wi-fi at night! Trust us, eliminating these things is a game-changer.
