Raw Beet Juice – A Great Cleanser of the Body!

beetrootBeet juice is considered to be one of the most powerful cleansers of the body.

It is rich in Vitamin A, Sodium, Calcium, Chlorine, Vitamin B6, Sulfur, Iron, and Potassium.

Pure raw beet juice may increase your heart rate, cause fever or paralyze your vocal chords. That is why it should be used moderately. To decrease side effects, it is suggested to mix beet juice with other fruits or vegetables, e.g. apples, carrots, cucumbers.Traditionally raw beet juice have been used for the following conditions:

  • Anemia
  • Arteriosclerosis
  • Menopause
  • Skin problems
  • Eye fatigue
  • Menstrual problems
  • General weakness
  • Circulatory problems
  • Eye fatigue
  • Liver and Kidneys problems
  • Weight loss problems

The combination of raw beet juice (1/4) and carrot juice (3/4) is excellent to fight allergies. At least 200ml of beet and carrot juice is recommended for daily intake.

Moreover, a glass of beet and carrot juice can also reduce general weakness and refresh you.

Beet juice diluted in water can be used to stimulate liver. Do not panic if beet juice turns your stools and urine red. It is normal!

Beet greens are rich in carotene and minerals. They can also be juiced and added to other raw juices.

    I made and drank aprox. six ounces of fresh beet juice and was gaging and vomiting five minutes later? Was it too much. I know it is healthy but now I’m afraid to drink it.

    Not to worry! Nausea is a good sign. Raw Beet juice stimulates bile flow from the gall bladder. This is how the liver and gall bladder detoxify. Try starting out with the juice of only 1 beet, about 4oz juice, maybe also add 1 carrot if you can handle the sugar. As your liver and gall bladder become cleaner, the naseous reaction will lessen. The key is to drink the juice once a day. Start out with a smaller amount. Drink the juice first thing in the morning, wait about an hour before eating. It’s okay to add water, too.

    This seems to be what i’m looking for, I am constantly exhausted, so looking for some fresh juice wellbeing recipes. Should I re- concider if I have had previous liver and kidney stress?

    I like to simply open a can of beets, pour the juice in a glass, and eat some of the beets with a salad or vegetables. I use the other beets for a chicken dinner or soup. I sip on the beet juice from the glass until it is gone. No nausea!

    Beets are a superb vegetable for juicing. They are especially good for thinning bile and keeping it flowing. Just be careful of taking too much raw beet juice - it can produce a severe reaction including increased heart rate. Mix it with some carrot juice, cucumber juice and even dilute with water. Don’t forget to juice the ‘stem and leaves’ of the beets as they are full of goodness too.

    Using canned fruits and veggies is not recommended for juicing, they are no longer in an alkaline state, they are acidic.
