If you’re suffering from indigestion, bloating, or just the occasional abdominal discomfort, it may be due to the types of foods you’ve been putting into your body. Actually, this almost certainly is the reason for these types of symptoms. Fueling your body with the right fruits and vegetables on a daily basis is absolutely essential for your body to stay well and function properly. There are many kinds of fruits and vegetables that have various benefits. However, if you’re suffering specifically from indigestion issues, there are certain fruits and vegetables that we recommend incorporating into your diet through juicing that could make all the difference for you and your gut health!
The top juice ingredients for indigestion:
Carrots (controls high blood sugar)
Aloe Vera (high antioxidants and reduces constipation)
Beets (high in fiber)
Spinach (weight loss aid)
Cucumber (promotes hydration)
Ginger (reduces nausea and speeds up digestion)
Apples (promotes strong gut health)
Celery (anti-inflammatory)
Mint (improves irritable bowel syndrome)
Apple Cider Vinegar (reduces belly fat as a natural laxative)
Many of these foods are not only useful for fighting indigestion, but many of them are also cancer-fighting foods, promote heart health, and much more. One of the best and quickest ways to consume all of these highly nutritious fruits and vegetables is to juice them. Not only will you be able to quickly get all of the nutrition you need in just one glass a day, but it will also taste great (especially when you add apples, beets, and/or carrots to your juice for some extra sweetness).
Now that we have explained what juicing can do for your indigestion and what fruits and vegetables are best to use, we will now give you some general tips to get you started on your juicing journey!
Juicing tips:
You can pick sweet (apples), tart (lemons), or spicy (ginger) for the type of juice you’d like for the day, or even roots (beets), greens (kale), herbs (mint), or high-yield (cucumber)
Juice the fruits and vegetables together that you would actually like to eat together
Try to balance high-yield (cucumber) with high-potency (mint) ingredients in your juices
Don’t be afraid to take sips as you go and add the ingredients that you think would taste best
You don’t usually need to remove the skin from the fuits and/or vegetables that you buy, but it is good to do so for kiwis, citrus fruits, and any produce that might have wax on it’s exterior
If color significantly affects the way you view taste, you can always add beets for a nice purplish red hue and some apples or lemon to make the taste of your juice better
