Raw fruits and vegetables have some pretty amazing health benefits. Certain vegetables can lower inflammation in the body, while some fruits are incredibly rich in antioxidants, which help to nourish bodily tissues. The best way to get a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables into your daily diet is by making smoothies.
The reason that fresh fruits and vegetables are beneficial is because they don’t go through any processing. Buying frozen produce or bottled juices isn’t something we recommend because these items tend to contain preservatives and chemicals. These preservatives can prevent your body from absorbing the nutrients. When you eat fresh fruits and vegetables, your body gets the essential nutrients it needs.
If you are participating in one of our cleanses or just enjoy drinking delicious smoothies, we have five smoothies that are going to help cleanse your entire body. Add a little ice and water to each smoothie to get the desired thickness you want.
