Develop a Drinking Habit…for Carrot Juice!

After years of wishing I had one, I finally got a juicer for Christmas. I’ve spent the last month having fun and experimenting with juicing different fruits and vegetables. And then I read about the incredibly healthy benefits of drinking carrot juice. So I pulled four carrots out of my fridge, cut off their tops, and fed them through the juicer. One sip was all it took—I was hooked!

In many parts of the world, folks consider this golden treasure to be the “king of juices,” and for good reason: Just one 8-ounce glass several times a week will help to:

·         Balance blood sugar levels
·         Fend off asthma attacks and other respiratory ailments
·         Cleanse your liver
·         Fortify your blood and prevent anemia
·         Guard against the effects of secondhand smoke
·         Nourish your skin
·         Increase quantity and quality of a nursing mother’s breast milk
·         Decrease the risk of jaundice in newborns
·         Prevent water retention
·         Strengthen your immune system

The good news is that you don’t need to own your own juicer to reap the benefits of this healthy drink. While the fresh version is a little more potent, Bottled 100 percent carrot juice offers the same healthy boost.
