The Cruciferous Beta-Crunch! Juicing Recipe to Combat Digestive Disease and Chronic Inflammation

4/19/2019

Comments

 
Picture

Overview

Bursting with nutritional content The Cruciferous Beta-Crunch recipe focuses on restorative and protective countermeasures to poor digestion and digestive disorders. A great juice recipe for sufferers of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Crohn's Disease, Diverticulitis, Ulcerative Colitis as well as general conditions relating to poor digestive health.

Ingredients

For this fantastically nutritious gut-soothing recipe you will need the following:
  • 2 Carrots
  • 3-4 Celery Sticks
  • 3-4 Cabbage or Dandelion Leaves
  • 1/2 Beetroot
  • 1 Large or 2 Smaller Apples OR Pears
  • 3 Spinach Leaves
​
Optional extras can be added to enhance specific nutritional content and/or flavour and preference - feel free to experiment with different ingredients until you find your perfect combination!

Optional extras include:
  •  3 Apricots
  • 1/2 Red Onion
  • 1 Papaya
  • 1 Clove of Garlic
  • 1 Cup of  Blackberries
  • 1 Cup of Chopped Fennel

Preparation Advice

A really simple juice to make with minimal waste and maximum yield!

After washing down the ingredients to prevent any unwanted contaminants making their way in, proceed to chop your ingredients and send them all through your juicer.

Inflamed intestines sometimes are unable to stomach (pardon the pun) such a concentrated mixture depending on your chosen optional extras. It is thoroughly recommended that the yielded juice be diluted to approximately 50% strength using either water or a suitable herbal tea replacement (see below). 

You should aim to be making enough for approximately 1 Litre (35oz) of diluted juice per day, which should be consumed over the course of the day in quantities of approximately 5-7oz servings. (Roughly 5-7 servings per day).

SUITABLE HERBAL TEA INGREDIENTS
The herbal tea ingredients below have a restorative effect on the intestine and bowel and can be used in the place of water above to dilute down the concentrated juice.
  • Golden Seal
  • Marshmallow
  • Dandelion Root
  • Chamomile
  • Cinnamon

What's in it for me!?

  • Blackberries, raspberries and blueberries contain phyto-nutrients are rich in polyphenols and antioxidants which induce intenstinal anti-inflammatory responses.
  • Apple, pears, guavas, plums, gooseberries and oranges, along with other citrus fruits contain large amounts of pectin which soothes the intestinal mucous membranes.
  • Apricot, beetroot, carrot and papaya are high in bera-carotene which heals inflamed intestinal mucous membranes.
  • Cabbage, dandelion, and garlic are high in organosulfur (organic sulfur) which plays an important part in the effective protection of the liver function while healing the bowel.
  • Leafy, green, cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, brussel sprouts, kale, spinach and pak choi (bok choy) are high in vitamin K which strengthens the immune system positively enhancing natural gut bacteria decomposition.

Double Apple & Pears with Carrots Smoothie Recipe - A Deliciously Refreshing Digestive Treat

1/2/2017

Comments

 
Another great tasting smoothie recipe to try out. Green and Red Apples, Pears and Carrots blended to a refreshing sweet puree! This recipe is full of fiber and antioxidants - great for digestion / gut issues and a natural defense against many illnesses and chronic conditions!
Apple Carrot Pear Smoothie Recipe - Tasty recipe great for the digestive system

Ingredients

  • 2 Red Apples
  • 2 Green Apples
  • 2 Pears
  • 4 Carrots

Preparation

Wash all the ingredients under cool, running water to remove any unwanted contaminants from the production and sale process making their way into your delicious smoothie. 

Depending on the strength capabilities and size of your blender/juicer slice the ingredients to an appropriate size and then one by one add the ingredients ensuring the carrots are included between the other ingredients so that a more complete blend is easily obtained.

With a blender you will have the benefit of the full fiber intake as all the material is included in the smoothie created. You may wish to add ice according to taste as a way to alter the thickness of your smoothie or extend the yield of a particular batch.

Juicers, on the other hand, typically remove the pulp from your returned yield, thereby dramatically reducing the amount of fiber retained in the final juice mix, leading to a more liquid 'juice' in the end. Bear this in mind when using the ingredient mix as a therapeutic aid for digestive issues where fiber is your focus.

Health Benefits

Apples, pears and carrots are all high high in dietary fiber which is great for the gut and digestive health.

Apples: Rich in fiber and important antioxidants, and flavanoids. The phytonutrients and antioxidants in apples reduce the risk of developing cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease.

Pears: Another great fiber and antioxidant containing fruit, with an abundance of vitamins - calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper, manganese, folate etc.

Of important note: A new analysis of the Nurse's Health Study showed that across all fruit and vegetables analyzed for flavonoid content, the combination of apples and pears produced the most consistent ability to lower the risk of Type 2 diabetes.

Carrots: An excellent source of beta-carotene, fibre, and antioxidants. Rich in Vitamin A, C, K, B8, pantothenic acid, folate, potassium, iron, copper and manganese, carrots are a truly nutrient rich veg.

Good For

  • Antioxidants are powerful substances the protect the body from a wide range of illnesses and chronic diseases
  • Anti-cancer properties
  • Hypertension
  • Diabetes
  • Blood pressure and cholesterol management
  • Digestive issues
  • Anti-ageing, wrinkle reversing, skin enhancer
  • Thoroughly hydrating (great for all organs)
  • Weight loss

Brain Power & Cognition Juice Recipe #1 - The Simple, Sweet CarBeet!

12/29/2016

Comments

 
Brain Power & Cognition Recipe
This simple recipe can be bashed together in pretty much no time at all. 

By combining foods with antioxidants that boost cognitive function by increasing blood flow to the brain we can create a whole host of natural goodness that has almost immediate positive influences on our brain activity and cognition as well as improving memory and overall performance over time.

Beetroot, a natural vasodilator, is really great for improved blood flow to the brain, as well as Blueberries and Blackberries. Combined with potassium sources such as the favourite Bananas and Coconut Water you're onto a winner. We've saved those for some upcoming recipes though just to let your mouth water a bit first ;)

​For now though...

Ingredients

We'll kick things off with a really simple recipe that should be easy to find around the house without having to go out and speifically buy any extras.

It's simple and only includes the following:
  • 2 Beetroots
  • 2 Sweet Potatoes
  • 6 Medium Carrots
