WINTER JUICES
Exercising during the winter can be exhausting and draining. We can, however, incorporate eating habits that nourish us and benefit our bodies. Juices are made by centrifuging vegetables, which separate the solids from the liquids. Juicers tend to heat up the vegetables, thus leading to a loss of enzymes, which is why including fruit and vegetable skins can be beneficial. Juices are beneficial for a balanced and varied diet, above all in times of stress, or intense physical activity or work.
Vegetables and leafy greens: Rich in antioxidants, these fight free radicals and therefore aging as well. They also have detoxifying and energizing qualities. You can use a mix of spinach, cucumber, celery, lettuce, beets, and carrots, with the addition of an apple or pear to sweeten to your liking, as well as lemon juice.
Cavolo nero cabbage: This winter vegetable, traditionally used in Tuscan ribollita, has many nutritious properties, including its detoxifying qualities. Centrifuge it with an apple, lemon juice, cucumber, and a little bit of mint.
