You can create this ideal drink for body cleansing and strengthening with the combination of pears, ginger and cucumber.

To make this effective drink, you have to prepare:

  • 3 peeled and cleaned pears
  • 2 pieces of fresh ginger
  • ½ cucumber
  • few spinach leaves
  • ½ peeled lemon

Directions:

Put all the ingredients in a juicer and mix them well. If you want a clear juice, you can drain the mixture through a sieve or gauze. Drink it before meals.

This detox drink has anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and detoxifying properties. Let’s see what these ingredients can do for your overall health:

PEARS

The sweet pears are excellent source of dietary fiber, which  is essential for a healthy digestive system.

They also contain rich vitamins and minerals including vitamins A, B1, B2, C, E, folate, niacin, copper, phosphorus and potassium.

CUCUMBER

Known for its antidiabetic, lipid-lowering and antioxidant activity, cucumber has a strong cleansing effect on the body.

It supports the digestive tract, including helping to cleanse the liver by removing accumulated toxins and waste materials from the blood and gut.

It’s a great ingredient to include in your juice. A cup of cucumbers (with the peel) has about:

•16 calories
•Zero protein, fat, fiber or sugar
•17 milligrams vitamin K (22 percent DV)
•3 milligrams vitamin C (4 percent DV)
•6 milligrams magnesium (4 percent DV)
•152 milligrams potassium (4 percent DV)
•8 milligrams manganese (4 percent DV)

Besides, cucumber is also a great tool to prevent dehydration, constipation and overheating.

GINGER

Ginger is beneficial because it has anti-inflammatory and detoxifying benefits.

Drinking ginger lemon tea is another popular way to take ginger. Just steep 2 tablespoons fresh ginger root in water for 10-15 minutes, strain, and add lemon juice for taste.
