Detox Apple Lemon Ginger Juice
Juicing fruits and vegetables we know have amazing health benefits, loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. When we juice it allows our body to take in larger amounts at one time, fueling, nourishing and healing our body.
Apples
Perhaps the biggest benefit of apples is the polyphenol and flavonoids which offer antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection to slow aging and deter chronic illness. Juicing the apple as opposed to just drinking the juice is in the peel. The peel has the highest level of these polyphenols which aid in helping protect and battle cancers, heart conditions, inflammation, and asthma. Research has shown that eating apples regularly helps people have better lung function and reduce the occurrence of asthmas. Over time helping your body naturally fight asthma by reducing the histamines. Another major polyphenols quercetin found in the peel decreases the production of plaque around the heart and is particularly helpful in the fight against cancers, especially lung, the colon has proven effective against cancer cell growth.
Lemons
Lemons are loaded with vitamin C, Potassium, Magnesium, and Copper. These vitamins and minerals help reduce the free radicals. These free radicals cause aging and are linked to inflammation and cancers. Lemons aid in digestion in helping our body to produce acids which promote and contribute to process foods as well as cleaning toxins in our liver. More research is showing higher levels of Vitamin C aid in cancer prevention and increase immune support. Lemons also have pectin. The pectin helps us feel full and aids in weight loss.
Ginger
Concerns about cancer and prevention are on everyone’s mind these days. Ginger is a super fighter against cancers especially ovarian. And new research is showing similar in prostate cancers as well.

My favorite juice
- 6 organic lemons
- 2-3 organic apples
- 4″ ginger knob(more or less, based on your taste) I love ginger!
Using a juicer or juice extractor Green Power Juicer – KPE 1304 alternate a few lemons to a few apples. This cuts down on the pulp build up and extra juice. Add the ginger then repeat this process until completed. Juice is strong; you can dilute with water and sip all day.
