Juicing Carrots

Carrots are one of the sweetest vegetables and can taste great in just about any juice recipe. The antioxidant beta-carotene is what gives carrots their bright orange color and makes them excellent for helping to prevent oxidative stress in the body. They are also full of vitamin A (1 serving gives you 203% of your daily need!) and have a little vitamin C. Select carrots that are firm, smooth and bright colored. Avoid cracked or dull looking carrots. Feed carrots into the juicer end first.

It is important to wash celery ribs thoroughly. Select celery that is light green and firm. A key way to see if the celery is fresh is that the ribs should snap, not bend.

Celery is used as a base in many vegetable juices. It tastes amazing, is light and has a “cooling” effect when you drink it. Thus, you can add celery ribs to many of your favorite juicing recipes for a great base.

In fact, coffee shows more antioxidant activity than green tea and cocoa, two antioxidant superstars. Scientists have identified approximately 1,000 antioxidants in unprocessed coffee beans, and hundreds more develop during the roasting process. Numerous studies have cited coffee as a major — and in some cases, the primary — dietary source of antioxidants for its subjects. How it works: Antioxidants fight inflammation, an underlying cause of many chronic conditions, including arthritis, atherosclerosis and many types of cancer. They also neutralize free radicals, which occur naturally as a part of everyday metabolic functions, but which can cause oxidative stress that leads to chronic disease. In other words, antioxidants help keep us healthy at the micro-level by protecting our cells from damage. Finally, chlorogenic acid, an important antioxidant found almost exclusively i...
