Turmeric carrot juice

Cut the vegetables into small cubes and juice them. Season the finished juice with a few drops of oil and a little honey to taste.

Turmeric is an extraordinary ingredient: the curcumin it contains has antispasmodic, antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The natural antioxidant also has a detoxifying and immune-stimulating effect. Taking turmeric stimulates the production of gastric juice and bile and supports cell metabolism and digestive processes. Another positive effect is the promotion of fat digestion. Thanks to its many health-promoting properties, turmeric, as it is called in German, has been used in Asian and especially Indian cuisine and medicine for thousands of years. IMPORTANT TO KNOW: Allergic reactions and gastrointestinal disorders (e.g. diarrhoea) may occur in case of hypersensitivity and when taken in high doses over a longer period of time (e.g. in capsule form). 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 supplemented with a few drops of a high-quality vegetable oil. Cold-pressed oils such as nut or olive oil are particularly suitable, as they enhance the taste of the juice.
