Sunday Juicing -1
One of my best friends asked me the other day when am I going to post anything "nutrition" related, if I decided that it's going to be a theme of my blog. I guess the answer, as the title says it, is "sometimes..."
Here's a juice I've made this morning before starting my day. There was honestly not much thought put into it. I've just looked at the fruits and veggies I had around the house knowing I wanted something light, sour and refreshing. This is what I came up with:
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized grapefruits
- 1 carrot
- 1 large cucumber
- a small piece of ginger
I've added some crushed ice into the mason jar, juiced all the ingredients in the listed order and added a little bit more ice on the top to keep everything cool.
Main skin benefits of the ingredients used:
- Grapefruits - the vitamin C contained in grapefruits stimulates the production of collagen and refreshes the skin
- Carrots - help repair skin tissue and protect against sun damage - great to add in your juices if you know you'll be in the sun, or if you like tanning (please don't stay in the sun too much)
- Cucumbers - containing 95% water it keeps your skin and body hydrated
- Ginger - eliminates toxins from the skin and improves blood circulation
Have a great week and stay healthy
