SOME LIKE IT GREEN
March 15, 2021Since the beginning of the decade, green juices are one of the biggest trends in the health industry. From the celebrities, social media influencers, wellness bloggers everyone is drinking and reporting about green juices and their healthy benefits, including improved digestion, weight loss, reduced inflammation, and boosted immunity.
Green Juice is considered to be a beverage made of green vegetables and herbs. There’s no official recipe, but common ingredients include celery, kale, Swiss chard, spinach, wheatgrass, cucumber, parsley, and mint. Often green juice tends to taste bitter, most recipes add small quantities of fruit — which may or may not be green — to sweeten it and improve its overall palatability. Popular fruit options include apples, berries, kiwi, lemons, oranges, and grapefruit. Although, green juice is not a substitute for a healthy and balanced diet, it shares many of the benefits that come along with eating more fruits and vegetables. Because of the high amount of vitamins, it is recommended to have a green juice after a Hatha yoga flow class or a Kundalini yoga class to replenish and nourish the body.
Green veggies and their juices are excellent sources of several essential vitamins, minerals, and beneficial plant compounds. For example, Swiss chard and kale are packed with vitamins A and K, while wheatgrass supplies plenty of vitamin C and iron.
Research suggests that eating leafy green vegetables daily may help reduce inflammation, heart disease risk, and your risk of age-related mental decline. There’s also evidence that certain compounds in fresh juice can function as a probiotic, which feed and support the growth of beneficial bacteria living in your digestive tract. With all that in mind, it is best if you can drink it freshly squeezed to avoid it being pasteurized or sweetened with commercial sugars. This is one of our most popular green juice recipes.
