When you see yourself, how do you feel about your skin? One of the most neglected
parts of skin care is diet. For some, monitoring the food they eat can be a major
undertaking, but did you know that there are fruits and vegetable juices that help you to
get clear, radiant skin?
Juices are not only delicious, but also powerful concentrated sources of the nutrients
from its respective fruits and vegetables. The consumption of green juice drinks can
help give you beautiful skin, and protect it from future damage. Take a look at how you
can make green juice to help with your skin and complexion.
What It Does for You
As the largest organ in the human body, the skin is put under tremendous strain due to
exposure to natural elements, and man-made pollutants. When the body is able to gain
easy access to a source of vitamins and minerals, it’s more likely to have an easier time
repairing and maintaining your organs. Your skin’s state of health is more visible to the
eye than that of any other organs, so clean healthy skin is also an indication that you
are getting the proper nutrients. Here are a few great recipes that you can try.
Ginger Carrot Green Juice
Carrots and apples are great for the skin. The agents in apples help the vitamins and
minerals to absorb more efficiently in the body. The pectin helps increase circulation.
Ginger is heavily antibacterial, which can help limit the amount of bacteria found on the
surface of your skin. It also helps improve the condition of your gut and helps maintain a
balanced population of the proper bacteria. Simply take 4 carrots, ½ of an apple, a
thumbnail sized piece of ginger, and place them into a juicer. Chill and serve.
Pineapple Cucumber Green Juice
Along with the refreshing and invigorating aspects of apples, this juice adds the power
of cucumber. This vegetable is an amazing source of potassium, vitamin C, and most
importantly, a nutrient called silica. Silica is needed for the construction of much of the
tissues like skin and tendons in the body. Without healthy tendons, your muscles
wouldn’t be able to function and connect to bone. A dose of green juice with the
cucumber will give your skin a health boost. Toss 4 – 5 large cubes of pineapple into a
juicer with half of a cucumber and half of an apple. Chill and serve as quickly as soon as
possible, because fresh juice like this will lose its potency through the week.
