Morning Red Riser Juice
By Claire Georgiou, Reboot Naturopath, B.HSc ND
Feel like something purple and red? Well here it is! This juice is PACKED with antioxidants — the purple pigment in purple carrots come from an antioxidant flavonoid compound called anthocyanin that will scavenge free radicals and may reduce inflammation and may help prevent cancer, heart disease and other chronic degenerative diseases, and may also provide anti-aging benefits. These carrots have a sweeter taste than the regular carrot and have been around since 2000BC. Wow! Of course you can use orange carrots if you can’t find purple ones.
