Health Benefits of the Ingredients
- Celery: This crunchy vegetable is a powerhouse for flushing toxins out of the body. It contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that can improve liver health and help lower blood pressure.
- Beets: Known for their deep, vibrant color and nutrient density, beets are rich in betaine, which helps the liver eliminate toxins. They also have natural nitrates and antioxidants that enhance overall liver function.
- Lemon: Lemons are high in vitamin C, which helps your body synthesize toxic materials into substances that can be absorbed by water. Drinking lemon juice helps stimulate the liver and aids detoxification.

Preparation Steps
