Carrot fennel juice

Cut the carrot and fennel into cubes and juice them with the Base & Soul juicer. Adding a little olive or sesame oil is recommended, as some ingredients are fat-soluble. If necessary, you can also add a little salt and pepper to taste.

Fennel is versatile: Its high vitamin C content has an antioxidant effect by scavenging harmful oxygen radicals. Fennel also contains a lot of iron, which is important for the transport of oxygen in the body. It is involved in blood formation, as it is an important building block of the red blood pigment haemoglobin. The absorption of iron is promoted by vitamin C. Its potassium content makes a good contribution to the detoxification of the kidneys due to its dehydrating effect. Potassium also plays an important role in the transmission of stimuli in the body. Thanks to its essential oils, fennel has an antispasmodic and soothing effect on our gastrointestinal tract. Fennel also has a high content of folic acid. This is important for cell division and regeneration, blood formation and growth. IMPORTANT TO KNOW: Pregnant women need an adequate supply of folic acid. The carrot is especially known for its high beta-carotene content: With its 7.6mg, 100g of carrots contain a dose that far exceeds the daily recommendation of 2.0-4.0 mg. Beta-carotene is a provitamin A that has an antioxidant effect by scavenging harmful oxygen radicals. It can be converted in the body into biologically active retinol (vitamin A), which is important for the visual process as well as growth and nerve conduction. The body can make vitamin A from beta-carotene. It only uses as much from food as it can convert. An overdose is therefore not possible. Beta-carotene belongs to the carotenoids, which are secondary plant substances. TIP: In order to better absorb fat-soluble vitamins, juices containing carrots should always be mixed with a few drops of high-quality vegetable oil. should always be added. Cold-pressed oils such as nut or olive oil are particularly suitable, as they enhance the taste of the juice.
