Elevate Your Palate with the Vibrant Trio: Carrots, Tomato, and Orange Detox Juice

 

Day 4 has more brightly colored vegetables and fruits, carrots and oranges. Carrots are a particularly good source of beta carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium, and antioxidants. Carrots are rich in beta carotene (vitamin A), which your body converts into vitamin A. This nutrient promotes good vision and is important for growth, development, and immune function. Intake of carrots has been linked to lower cholesterol levels. Individuals with low vitamin A levels are more likely to experience night blindness, a condition that may diminish by eating carrots or other foods rich in vitamin A or carotenoids. Carotenoids may also cut your risk of age-related macular degeneration

Dietary fiber is associated with many beneficial health effects, including improved digestive health, weight loss, and cholesterol which Oranges are rich in. Clinical studies in humans note that daily intake of orange juice for four weeks has a blood-thinning effect and may reduce blood pressure significantly. Both vitamin C and citric acid can increase your body’s absorption of iron from the digestive tract. When eaten with iron-rich food, oranges may help prevent anemia.

Note: Before embarking on any diet ensure you visit a health practitioner to get a diet that is right for you. Onto today's recipe.
