Celery Juice

This is the firs juice that I took today. It has a strong flavor but what encourages me to drink it are the health benefits that we can get. From what I have read about the celery juice it says that "the minerals and vitamins and nutrients are in perfect harmony with each other. Celery leaves are high in vitamin A, whilst the stems are an excellent source of vitamins B1, B2, B6 and C and dense in potassium, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, sodium and essential amino acids" Learn more info about celery juice from this link:

Wash the celery well then put in a juicer to extract the juice until you obtain  a glass of it.

Drink it :-).

Beetroot and Watermelon Juice

Have a refreshing beetroot and watermelon juice for full energy in doing your daily works because watermelon and beetroot are full of vitamins and minerals that our body needs  to function well.
Watermelon is rich in beta-carotene, folic acid, vitamin C, vitamin B5 and smaller amounts of B1, B2, B3 and B6. It is also a rich source of essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and smaller amounts of copper, iron and zinc. Like watermelon, beetroot contains vitamins, B1, B2, B6 and C but it has vitamin A which is not present in watermelon.The minerals that we can get from beetroot are these: calcium, magnesium,copper, phosphorus, sodium and iron  that is why I combined these 2 ingredients because of their nutritional values.
Excellent taste too! Here is the recipe for this.

200 grams watermelon
1 medium size beet root
