CUCUMBER, CELERY, PEAR AND LEMON JUICE: A GREEN DETOX
We celebrated our princess birthday party with great fun, she enjoyed thoroughly, thanks to everyone who wished and blessed her. Since birthday party has heavy with pizza, cake and gulab jamun, I thought I will start this week with a healthy juice. I have seen on Dr OZ show that there is even a 3 day weekend detox diet, for which you have to drink 5 juices a day and eat one meal that has only fruit and vegetables.
I wish I could do that, but afraid to start a complete detox diet, so wanted to start with only morning juice. In future I will try to do a detox diet. I need to get rid of some baby fat that I still have. While growing up I always thought that vegetables are only eaten after it is cooked and eat as curries are that there are not any other ways. Then I came to know they can be consumed as salad, which helped during pregnancy as I had developed gestational diabetics when pregnant with my daughter. Then I came to know a combination of juice with cucumber and celery is good. Frankly speaking I was not a fan of celery at first; I would buy them only to make vegetable broth and jamabalaya or chili. Now after trying a few times and also reading the healthy benefits of Celery, I have started to love celery. So they appear in my juice.

Celery consists of 95% water, and is very alkaline, and rich with fiber. According to this article it is consider to be power food and should be consumed daily. Further it has blood pressure reducing properties, as it has active phthalides, which relax the muscles of arteries and thus regulate the blood pressure. Due to high fiber content it is good candidate of weight loss, also it is negative calorie food. . Celery leaves are a source of flavonoid antioxidants zeaxanthin, lutein and beta-carotene, which have antioxidant, cancer-protective, and immune-boosting functions. Even in Ayurveda(Indian natural medicine) the use of celery seed is well known for colds, arthritis and diseases of liver and spleen.
Even in my home state Kerala, people have started trying to add vegetables in their drinks, and also to make smoothie. I have seen a YouTube video wherein a juice shop guy is making a vegetable smoothie with lots of vegetables and yogurt.
