super nice juice

I have dusted off the juicer which sadly I did not use at all last year. Every year when it is down off the shelf I tend to use it throughout summer and always feel the benefits....well my hair , skin and nails do : )
Yesterday I was juicing beetroot, ginger and celery...forgot to put the top on the juicer and my kitchen resembled a scence from dexter - doh!

Today I have made a pint of something sweet with a little zing. It tastes delicious so give it a go:
juice one large beetroot (washed but skin kept on!)
5 large carrots
large handful of fresh corriander leaf
half a large brocoli (I juiced about half the stem under the floret bit)

A great drink for when it is warm outside

I read an article on the web yeasterday saying that Beetrot is one of the key cleansers you can drink but obviously if you boil it you lose alot of the goodness. It is rich in potassium and somewhat comparable to bananas in that respect. One problem with beetroot is that it can cause you to have nausea or even a headache the first few times that you try it in a juice concentration as I am told it acts like breaking a damn holding back the toxins in your body. A good idea is to start with a bit and build up till your body is happy with the amount. I felt a bit unwell for about 30 mins yeasterday after my first raw beetroot juice but today my body is quite happy with it. There is a doctor at a hospital in Hungary who has apparently been using Beetroot as a menas of treating cancer for many many years.... I will let you do your own reasearch on that one!
Enjoy the day!
