Vegetable Juice – Any replacement?

Dear Pooja,
I am a 18-year-old girl and my dietician has suggested me that I drink tomato and spinach juice every day. However, I don’t like the taste and find it difficult to drink. Is there an alternative to this?

 

Your dietitian has only your best interest at heart when she recommends a vegetable juice for you daily. If you inculcate the habit of chugging down one fresh glass of potent natural vitamins, minerals and anti oxidants today at 18 years of age you will never need to pill, dermats and ageing treatments at any age. Nutrition from the plate and not a pill. I’m sure the combination is not locked for you and you can take any vegetables (I’d suggest minimum three) of different colours (for a variety of anti-oxidants) to make you juice daily. The key to its magic is immediately preparation and consumption so that no vitamins are lost and oxidized in translation. Add flavours like celery, ginger, lemon, mint and coriander to enhance the taste. Also I would recommend that a minimum of 50 percent of the roughage be retained in the juice so that your fibre intake of the day also gets done. The vegetable juice daily helps in better bowel movements, clearer skin, stronger hair, longer nails, more energy, better stamina, lesser hairloss, improved immunity, reduced episodes of cold and cough……what more can you ask? So go slurp down a glass of veg juice now! All of you.
