Fresh Vegetable Juice Recipes

Fresh vegetable juice recipes are excellent for cleansing, especially at the beginning stages of a body or colon cleanse. They provide nourishment you need so your body and organs can handle the extra toxic load from environmental stress or excess toxins that cleansing may dislodge from fat cells or other storage areas throughout your body.

Juicing and body cleansing can help free up your immune system so that is may heal health issue, often before you realize there even is a problem. In case you didn't know, it takes 10 times the amount of nutrition to heal than it does to live on a day to day basis. The absolute best way to get this nutrition is from whole foods and fresh pressed juices.

Canned or bottled juices never work as well as fresh vegetable juice. If you don’t own a juicer, consider investing in one. I get great results with my Champion Juicer I’ve had for almost 18 years. I’ve tried others but I get more juice from the vegetables in my Champion.

These fresh vegetable juice recipes contain nutrients, live enzymes and minerals that are only potent for about 30 minutes after the juice is made. If you cannot make your juice fresh, seek out a health food store near you that makes fresh juice (for a reasonable price, of course). Drink it at least 3-4 times per week for best results. Use organic vegetables when possible because they have more nutrients and better flavor.

Below you will find more than one recipe with a variety of vegetables to use. Consuming a variety of vegetable helps ensure you get a well rounded intake of nutrients. A good practice is to switch up your daily or weekly juice each month or so, for full benefit. This also ensures your body will cleanse and heal without the risk of developing a "sensitivity" or food allergy from consuming too much of any one ingredient. As the saying goes, all things in moderation.

The main vegetables used for cleansing juices are carrots, beets, celery, garlic and ginger root. Each has different qualities that will assist in your cleansing program. Here are traditional uses for the following juices:

Carrots: Skin, hair, eyes, liver
Beets: Liver, kidneys, intestines
Celery: Clear lymphatic system, regulate heartbeat
Cabbage Juice: Detox stomach, upper bowels
Garlic: Kills bacteria
Ginger Root: Kills bacteria, soothes stomach & aids nausea
Lemon: antibacterial, antifungal, all around detoxifier
