If you want to lose weight, look young and stay fit, drink a glass of vegetable juice at least twice a day. Vegetable juices are easy to digest, boost immunity, improve metabolism and aid fat loss. Here are 10 amazing vegetable juices that can help in burning fat and reduce weight.
Tomato juice: According to a report published in the journal Nutrition, drinking half-a-pint of tomato juice for eight weeks can help lose inches from the waist. Also, in a recent 2015 study scientists at the China Medical University in Taiwan asked 25 healthy women, aged 20 to 30, to drink a glass of tomato juice every day. After two months, they found an average decline in waist measurements of two-thirds of an inch.
Beetroot juice: Beetroot is low in calories and rich in Vitamin C, folate, magnesium, iron, copper and potassium. A study done in 2001 by the Usana Health Studies showed that beetroot juice improves your oxygen levels up to 16 percent, which means you'll feel less tired and will be able to exercise longer.
Karela juice: In Ayurvedic treatments, karela is used to treat diabetes and hypertension. It is believed karela can reduce blood sugar levels and improve insulin production. This means the body does not have excess sugar which helps keep your weight in check.
Cucumber juice: Cucumber is known to be a diuretic. Having a glass of cucumber juice can help flush out toxins from the body and break down fat deposits too. It also helps to prevent stomach ulcers, treat acidity and accelerates metabolism.
Carrot juice: One glass of carrot juice is a rich source of Vitamin A, C and K. The dietary fibre present in carrot helps in improving digestion, it detoxifies the liver preventing accumulation of fat in the body while the vitamin K helps in the protein building process of the body and promotes bone health. The beta carotene that gets converted into Vitamin A slows down skin ageing too.
Cabbage juice: Cabbage has high level of fiber which can keep you full for longer. With high concentration of Vitamin C and anthocyanins it can reduce risk of developing diabetes and limit cravings for salty and sugary foods. In fact, according to the US Department of Agriculture, one serving of cabbage juice a day can serve as one-third of your day’s vegetable intake.
Celery juice: Celery is also a diuretic that helps to flush out toxins from the body. In fact, it acts as a detoxifier and helps get rid of excess water from the body that leads to bloating. Celery leaves can be used in combination with cucumber or apple to better its taste.
Bottle gourd juice: It is low in calories and rich in fibre. Having a glass of lauki juice in the morning can help you curb your habit of overeating and regulate blood circulation too.
Spinach juice: Spinach contains a bio-chemical substance called thyllakoids that helps to control hunger pangs and hence promote weight loss.
