Red Pepper Juice Drink

This one is for Doug and Becky....

Mmmmmmm peppers are good :) Yummy drink I do say!



1 red pepper
3 carrots
2 green apples
handful a parsley


Can I say one more time I highly like this drink? Yep I do :)



Here is some facts I found on line about peppers:
All peppers are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, but red peppers are simply bursting with them. Antioxidant vitamins A and C help to prevent cell damage, cancer, and diseases related to aging, and they support immune function. They also reduce inflammation like that found in arthritis and asthma. Vitamin K promotes proper blood clotting, strengthens bones, and helps protect cells from oxidative damage.

Red peppers are a good source of the carotenoid called lycopene, which is earning a reputation for helping to prevent prostate cancer as well as cancer of the bladder, cervix, and pancreas. Beta-cryptoxanthin, another carotenoid in red peppers, is holding promise for helping to prevent lung cancer related to smoking and secondhand smoke.

Besides being rich in phytochemicals, peppers provide a decent amount of fiber.

BE JUICED ALIVE!
