Juicing for Weight Loss

There are many reasons that juicing is good for your health including hydration, detoxification, the fast absorption of nutrients, and the energy boost of natural sugars. If you are juicing for weight-loss however, it is important to choose the right ingredients for your juice. Vegetable-based drinks are ideal because of their lower sugar content. The blog Juicing For Weight Loss has a list of ingredients that they recommended for slimming down that includes carrot, cucumber, celery, lettuce, cabbage, beetroot, spinach, tomato, watercress, apple, grapefruit, and lemon.

The juices from Alpha Beet that best fit a weight-loss regime are:

Vita-C Green: Kale, Broccoli, Pear, Celery, and Lemon
Other benefits include a high concentration of vitamins and minerals, and a high chlorophyll content which aids the production of red blood cells.

Fresh: Apple, Celery, Mint, and Lime
Apple juice fights the affect of aging on the brain. That's right, they really do make you smarter. Mint aids in digestion and cleans the digestive tract. Celery is an anti-inflammatory that is full of vitamins!

Red Roar: Carrot, Beet, Apple, and Ginger
This juice is sweeter than the Vita-C or Fresh and contains ginger which aids digestion and increases circulation. The beetroot detoxifies the liver and has betacyanin, a cancer-fighting agent.

So if you're looking to slim down, come on in to Alpha Beet and we'll make some juice for you!
