The Activ8Health Juice Recommendation: ORGANIC COMPONENTS WHEN AVAILABLE
JUICES AND SMOOTHIES CAN SPIKE BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS. HERE ARE THE RECOMMENDATIONS TO PREVENT THIS
- Predominantly vegetables are used
- Low fructose (carb) fruits such as Blueberries, Raspberries and Watermelon which has a low glycaemic load (low GL) and Watermelon also has Citrulline that helps boost Nitric Oxide (NO) in the body. Avoid Strawberries as this is often contaminated
- The Kale and Spinach will provide a lot of Magnesium, Calcium and Vitamin-K1 which can be converted to Vitamin-K2 by the gut microbiome. Vitamin-K2 prevents calcification in soft tissues and blood vessels and heart valves. The little micronutrient deficiencies that can have life-threatening effects in time
- Beetroot is rich in Nitrate which can boost Nitric Oxide production to keep blood vessels healthy
- This combination tastes sweet enough – you can add 1/2 an Orange if you like but try to keep the fruit component low
- This juice can easily be obtained at a juice station in various locationsNB: Just say “Lots of Kale, Lots of Spinach and Lots of Beetroot to make it blood red”
