How Can Celery, Beet & Carrot Juicing Make You Feel Great?AYURVEDIC ANALYSISIn early winter and into the new year, your body craved foods like sweet cheesecake, buttery pecan pie, and rich pork chops because these heavy foods helped insulate you against the cold. As the spring gradual warms up, these dense foods might still be lingering in your fat tissue, just as gooey, thick, and heavy in the body as it was on your holiday plate. Now that the days are getting longer, your body prepares for springtime by releasing excess fats and sugars. Spring is the ideal time to shed those holiday pounds as the mechanisms of your body are prepared to cleanse. The late-winter body is restless from the cold and could be depressed from enduring winter. Detoxing helps you to break through into spring's verdant glory. As holiday excesses melt away, the toxins trapped in our fat tissue enter the bloodstream. The once-appetizing cheesecake, pecan pie, and holiday roasts begin to feel like overkill or even nauseating by mid-January. While we could easily devour two to three slices of cheesecake in mid-December, a sliver of cheesecake mid-February leaves behind an awful aftertaste, post nasal drip, and mucus. Although enjoyable on New Year's Eve, strong drinks and pungent foods like spiced rum, late night double espressos, and jalapeno french fries are acidic and irritating once stored in the body. If you've noticed more headaches, frustration, sciatica, or feel achy in the joints, you are experiencing those spicy choices on their way out. Why Detox Juice WorksDetox juice assists the body in the process of releasing fats, sugars, and toxins. Each ingredient in this recipe works to neutralize the symptoms of detoxification you may be experiencing now, while it also sets a good foundation for springtime. Beets, radishes, and garlic cleanse the liver and gall bladder - organs and tissues that are working hard to break down stored fats and sugars. The pigment that gives beets their bright color helps to neutralize the toxins from alcohol and spicy appetizers, balancing blood chemistry. The beta-carotene in carrots cools the blood. You may notice a cooling effect in the eyes, which can feel inflamed, itchy, and irritated as the body releases fats. Beta-carotene is also an important nutrient to counteract seasonal depression as it helps the skin to absorb the most from the limited sunlight during winter.If any of your holiday indulgences left you with indigestion and reflux, black pepper and raw garlic are powerful spices that rebuild digestive fire. Beets and raw garlic flush and cleanse the intestines. Celery and parsley flush the urinary system and the entire body of stagnant water weight. Garlic, black pepper, and celery flush the pores of the skin, which may feel dry, irritated, or prone to breakouts as the body detoxes. The spiciness of black pepper is also a cardiac stimulant that helps metabolize toxins in tissues. It destroys mucus and is a lung tonic for mid-February sniffles, strengthening your immune system for the fluctuating temperatures of early spring. Vegetable Juicing in AyurvedaThis simple, fresh vegetable juice quickly delivers nutrients to important organs. Your juicer acts like mechanical teeth, breaking down the cell walls of the vegetables, allowing the nutrients to reach the bloodstream quicker. Vegetable juices are easy to digest because grinding and straining removes all fiber content.WHAT IS CELERY, BEET & CARROT JUICING?WHY SHOULD YOU EAT AYURVEDICALLY?Eating Ayurvedically makes you feel nourished and energized.
