Green Juice Cleanse

    Go green! No really, not just with your recycling but also with your drink, you'll live longer! You'll also look better! Because if there's one healing wisdom I can impart, it's using food as medicine. Chloropyll, that same substance that give these following fruits and vegetables their rich green color oxygenate our cells and ward off free radicals that not only gives us diseases like cancer but also make us age before our time.

    Detox juices such as the one I'm sharing here are served in medispas where client come to heal and decompress. Holistic doctors like Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Dean Ornish also recommend them to their followers in order to combat every bad thing from heart disease, arthritis, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer and many more chroniic diseases. On the lifestyle front, luxury hotels like Six Senses Hotels and Resorts have organic gardens in their properties to offer better organic produce in their menus. Chiva Som in Thailand and Four Seasons hotels around the world also offer healthy cuisine in their menu to ensure that guests get their healthy options even whilst on holiday. So we truly are what we eat, or drink! So bottoms up!

    Here's my recipe for one very green juice:

   2 celery stalks
   1/2 green capsicum
   1/2 green apple
   1/2 bitter gourd
   1/2 cucumber

   Simple juice all of the above and serve cold.

The taste? It surely does not taste like your usual iced tea or soda, but it will not turn your stomach upside down either. The apple gives it a sweet and tangy taste whilst the cucumber makes it refreshing and melony. Think of this as your daily or three times a week does of vitamins and antioxidants and you'll be on your way to a better skin and a better health!
