Carrot juices contain certain oils that work on the mucus
membranes of the stomach and colon. This helps with digestion
and starts your bowels functioning properly. Carrots are high in
fiber and beta-carotene, an antioxidant, which the body converts
to vitamin A. Carrots can make your stools softer and larger.
Why are larger stools better? Because larger stools dilute
toxins, exposure less toxins to colon walls, and press against
colon walls to promote peristaltic action.
Drink carrot juice twice daily, once in the morning and in the
evening before bedtime. You can drink more carrot juice if you
like. Its action on the body produces enormous benefits since it
contains a good number of vitamins and minerals - B, C, D, E, K,
carotene, sodium, and potassium. These nutrients help to clean
out your colon and speed up fecal matter movement. As you
increase the carrot juice you drink, chances are you will feel a
little uncomfortable. This happens when carrot juice reaches
your intestines and colon and begins stirring up the toxic
layers and materials in that area. This feeling will pass and is
nothing to worry about. If you are pregnant, drink carrot juice
daily to build up your breast milk and to provide your baby with
the nutrients that it needs
Carrot Juice, Carrots and Celery
An effective way to clear constipation is to combine vegetables
that are high in fiber and that have laxative effects.
Celery is high in fiber, potassium, sodium, and many other
minerals. It can reduces inflammation and protect against
cancer. Celery has a chemical call polyacetylene, which reduces
prostaglandins that cause inflammation.
Celery has a calming effect on the nervous system. If you have
been using laxatives, which have overworked your colon nerves,
celery will help to relax these nerves and give them a rest.
Adding carrot juice to celery juice provides an even better
nutritional drink. This drink will help to restore nerve
function in your colon and improve its health.
Celery has the highest content of organic sodium. This sodium is
used throughout the body as lymph saline liquid allowing cells
to work and live properly.
Celery is also beneficial for the stomach. The stomach lining is
filled with sodium and this sodium is necessary to prevent
ulcers.
Here's what to do,
Eat carrots and celery during the day and for your salads; drink
a glass of carrot juice in the morning and one in afternoon. By
eating slightly steamed carrots you can increase the carotene
available from the carrots by up to 4 times. However, by cooking
carrots, you destroy the enzymes that will help you to digest
them quickly and completely.
Boost your carrot juice by juicing with it a few stalks of
celery, which includes the leaves. The leaves have more
nutrients than the stalk and are part of the nutritional value
of celery.
Tomato, Carrot, Celery Drink
Here's a drink you can take in the afternoon to activate a bowel
movement.
With a juicer, juice some tomatoes, carrots, and celery. By
experimenting, you can discover the amount of each vegetable to
use according to your taste. Mostly likely you will want equal
amounts of tomatoes and carrots and you will want to add a few
stalks of celery including the leaves.
Now, let's add a few more items to give your drink more pushing
power. Squeeze in a small amount of garlic, onion, and radish.
While juicing your carrots, juice a small bunch of spinach or
parsley.
Drink 1 to 1 ½ cups in the morning and see the results soon
after.
