ADVICE FROM OUR DIETICIANS
19
Carrot
Select very hard carrots with a
smooth, undamaged skin. There is
no need to peel them, providing you
scrub them well before cutting them
into pieces. Make sure you always
have a supply of fresh carrots to
hand, as carrot juice serves as the
basis for a host of cocktails.
Benefits: extremely rich in provitamin
A (betacarotene), carrots are very
good for the skin and
mucous membranes, as
well as for night
vision.
Celery
Choose firm sticks that are very fresh
and have a good green colour.
Wash and cut them into pieces
before processing them in the juicer.
With its slightly salty taste, celery
juice goes well with other fruit and
vegetable juices (apple, tomato,
etc.).
Benefits: celery contains many rare
trace elements. It can restore the body’s
pH balance and eases muscle cramps
Cherry
Choose large, plump cherries (e.g.
Burlat) that have dark red, blemish-free
skin and are preferably still on their
stalks. Cherry juice is very fragrant, but
requires rather a lot of preparation, as
the fruit has to be washed, pitted and
destalked before being processed.
Benefits: cherries are the sweetest of
all the red fruit. They are very rich in
vitamin A, which is useful for night
vision. They also have a high
potassium content, meaning that they
are diuretic. Cherry juice has
antibacterial properties, neutralising
the enzymatic activity that leads to the
formation of dental plaque.
Citrus fruit
(Lemon, Orange, Grapefruit)
Always choose fruit that are heavy
for their size and have a thin, shiny
skin. The simplest way of extracting
their juice is to use the citrus press.
However, when making cocktails,
you may find it more convenient to
peel them and process them in the
juicer or Smoothie
