Why does this stomach healer juice work?
- Cabbage – The amino acid glutamine in cabbage juice is totally gentle and cleansing on the digestive system, detoxifying, repairing ulcers, healing and regenerating.
- Pineapple – contains bromelain and helps treat symptoms of bowel conditions like ulcerative colitis, potentially reducing swelling and even ulcers.
- Apples – The phytonutrients and antioxidants in apples may help reduce the risk of developing cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease.
- Beetroot – full of vitamin C, and essential minerals like potassium (essential for healthy nerve and muscle function) and manganese (which is good for your bones, liver, kidneys, and pancreas). Beets also contain the B vitamin folate.
- Ginger – Ginger is known to speed up the emptying of the stomach, which can be beneficial for people with indigestion and related stomach discomfort. Ginger contains a substance called 6-gingerol, which may have protective effects against cancer. However, this needs to be studied a lot more.
