Daily Luminous Detox Juice

I'm in love….with a juice.  This one is so simple and clarifying that I have been drinking it daily to assist in a deep tissue cleanse.  It's also one of the easier fruits to drink larger quantities of because grapefruit juice is low in sugar — its glycemic index score is 25. 

 
Daily Detox Juice
  • 4 large pink Grapefruit
  • 1 large red Beet

voilà!  You are done. Guzzle up with a little tiny warning: Do not be alarmed if your stool or urine turn bright red after you drink this juice. This is actually a condition called "Beeturia" and happens in about 14% of the population.

There are two reasons for Beeturia:

1, Genetic factor. The capability to metabolize the betalaine, or betaine, the red pigment, is a recessive gene, and with two recessive genes, a person would inevitably pee red each time he or she ate beets.

2. Pernicious anemia.  This is a chronic condition caused by gastric atrophy which leads to deficient intrinsic factors to process B 12.  It is actually a test your urine has given you to see if you are deficient in iron.

Beets contain betalains, important phytonutrients that detoxify the liver and provide anti-inflammatory and antioxidant support. Beet nutrients have also been shown to support eye health and even reduce tumor growth of certain cancers

Grapefruit is an excellent source of vitamin C,  Just one grapefruit contains more than 100% of the daily recommendation for vitamin C. Grapefruit also contains limonoids, which can inhibit tumor growth and promote the formation of an enzyme that supports liver detox functions.
