Zenerjii is one of my favourite places to get green drinks from, I always get the Detox Special. It is made up of celery, lime, cucumber and apple. You may not like the idea of celery but mixed with the rest of the ingredients,I personally love it! Celery has many benefits, firstly it has antioxidant and anti- inflammatory properties which can help with conditions such as inflammation in the joints and skin conditions. Celery is also high in vitamin K, this is important factor as it helps with skins firmness. Along with being high in vitamin K, it also contains vitamin C which keeps skin looking young and healthy.
Celery has other benefits to your health such as protecting you from heart disease, lowering stress and its been said that it helps you sleep better. There is research being carried out to test if certain components in celery such as flavonoids apigenin and luteolin can be used as treatment for cancer patients.
Along with celery, cucumber is just as important for us. You may already know cucumber is 95% water so it will keep you hydrated which prevent our skin looking dull and dry. More importantly drinking lots of water or eating/drinking cucumber flushes out toxins in our body.
Green apples have very similar properties to celery as its also high in vitamins A,B, C and anti- oxidants which are great for protecting your skin from free radicals. It can improve skin texture and it has shown signs of preventing early lines and wrinkles.
Not only are these ingredients essential for improving your skin complexion it also has benefits for your hair! You may not think your diet is important for the state of your hair but it can do wonders whether its shine, length or thickness your looking for, try a healthier diet with lots of vitamins and minerals.
