Benefits
This Easy Carrot, Apple And Orange Juice May Help Boost Immunity.
Vitamin A
Carrots' high vitamin A content contributes significantly to the vitamin A content of the juice made from carrots, ginger, and apples. According to the Institute of Medicine, an 8-ounce glass of milk contains 19,726 international units of vitamin A, which is more than 6 times the recommended daily intake for men and more than 8 times the recommended daily intake for women. Vitamin A nourishes your skin, strengthens your immune system, and aids in the growth and maturation of new cells into functional tissue. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, including foods high in vitamin A in your diet, such as carrot, apple, and ginger juice, can help prevent eye conditions like age-related macular degeneration.Potassium and Magnesium
You can consume more potassium and magnesium, two minerals that are important for your health, by juicing apples, carrots, and ginger. Your heart, muscles, and digestive system all function properly thanks to potassium, which also assists your cells in transmitting electrical impulses. Magnesium helps to produce the energy you need to get through the day while also nourishing your bones and teeth. Fresh carrot, apple, and ginger juice has 661 milligrams of potassium and 36 milligrams of potassium per 8-ounce serving. According to the Institute of Medicine, that amounts to 14% of the daily recommended potassium intake and 11% of the daily recommended magnesium intake for both men and women.
Vitamin K
Ginger, apples, and fresh carrots are all energizing sources of vitamin K. Getting enough vitamin K helps your bones stay healthy, but its primary function is in blood clotting. After an injury, vitamin K aids in triggering the coagulation cascade, a chain of chemical reactions that causes your blood cells to clump together and form clots. You run the risk of bleeding more after an injury if your blood cannot clot. You may also get nosebleeds or gum bleeding. Fresh carrot, apple, and ginger juice has 18 micrograms of vitamin K per serving, which is 20% of the Institute of Medicine's recommended daily intake of vitamin A for women and 14% for men.
Ginger Phytonutrients
Ginger contains beneficial phytonutrients, including elements that inhibit the development of cancer. According to a 2012 study that appeared in "PLoS One," substances known as terpenoids aid in the fight against endometrial cancer. The terpenoids cause the cancer-fighting protein p53 to become active, causing cancer cells to die. The beneficial phytonutrients in ginger known as gingerols have been shown in another study to inhibit the growth of prostate cancer cells, which was published in the journal "Nutrition and Cancer" in February 2013. More research is needed to determine the effects of ginger, but including it more frequently in your diet may benefit your long-term health.
Rich in a Number of Vital Nutrients
Vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin that is also a potent antioxidant and is essential for immune system health, is concentrated in orange juice. Vitamin C also aids in the development of bones, the healing of wounds, and gum health. The vitamin folate, which is important for the synthesis of DNA and for fetal growth and development, is also abundant in orange juice.
