The health benefits of the Minty Sunshine
Most people cut the oranges in half and then simply push on a citrus press – which is already better than orange juice in a carton, true. However, when you do that, you miss many of the nutrients as a large amount are in the white pith just beneath the skin. Using a juicer to make orange juice instead of a citrus press brings it to another level!
Then, carrot juice is famous for it vitamin A, betacarotene, and it’s also a great source of vitamins B, C, E and K as well as many minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and phosphors.
Ginger is an antiviral, antibacterial, antihistamine and a super decongestant.
