The Three Musketeers of the ABC Detox Drink

Apple

As the age old saying goes, ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’ and it does hold true as an apple is super rich in nutrients including vitamin A, B1, B2, B6, C, E and K, Folate, Niacin, Zinc, Copper, Potassium, Manganese and Phosphorus among others. The dietary fibers found in apple are the most beneficial for your health. It is high on vitamin C that helps build your immune and nervous system. Due to the presence of antioxidants, apples help protect the cells from free radicals.

               

Beetroot (chukandar):

Beetroots are great for your heart and are enriched with nutrients including vitamin A, C, B-complex, iron, potassium, magnesium and copper. They have antioxidants like lycopene and anthocyanins that give this vegetable a deep pink-purple colourc that further helps build our immune system and control the growth of bad cholesterol. According to Mr.Tomar, beetroot provides betalaine which is an anti-inflammatory substance, which helps in protecting our liver. They also contain anti-aging properties. It has soluble fibers that fight the fat stored in our body and help shed those extra kilos.

Carrot: 

Carrots contain a wide array of nutrients including vitamins such as vitamin A, B1, B2, B3, B6, C, E and K and nutrients such as niacin, folate and pantothenic acid and minerals like phosphorus, calcium, potassium, magnesium and selenium. One of the most important components that make carrots distinct from others is beta-carotene. Our body converts beta-carotene to vitamin A to aid the functioning of the eyes and the immune system. Vitamin A helps in flushing out the toxins from the body and reduces bile and fat from the liver. Interestingly, they also scrape off the plaque and food particles and the minerals in carrots prevent tooth damage.
