Recipe For A Hormones Rebalancing Juice (or Smoothie)
Below is a recipe for a great hormones rebalancing juice (or smoothie).
Here it is:
- 2 medium beets
- 1/2 bunch of cilantro
- 1 small lemon with peel
- 2 stalks celery
- 1/2 green apple
- 1 inch cube of ginger
- 1/2 cucumber – the original recipe I found did not include cucumber in, but I like to add some as it is great for energy
Juice – or blend – all ingredients together and reap the benefits!
Beets
Beets are believed to be an excellent liver tonic and blood purifier. They get their colour from a compound called betacyanin, which is a potent cancer fighter.
Beets are also great to “tonify the yin” (Paul Pitchford, ‘Healing with whole foods: Asian traditions and modern nutrition’). Women can benefit from eating them as they replenish iron lost in the blood during the menstrual cycle.
They also are a good source of:
- betaine and folate – which reduce the risks of heart disease, stroke, dementia, and peripheral vascular disease
- potassium
Fun note: if you’re juicing beets, don’t forget the leaves. Those are packed with calcium, iron, vitamin A and vitamin C.
