Is Our Orange Beet Juice Recipe Healthy?

Our orange beet juice recipe makes a refreshing, nutrient-packed beverage to drink on the regular.

1. Support the Immune System

For starters, this juice has a similar effect on your immune system as most organic juices, thanks to the antioxidants.

Antioxidants are known to protect our cells from damage caused by free radicals. This damage is referred to as “oxidative stress,” which is linked to immune deficiency, Medical News Today says.

Diets rich in antioxidants can, therefore, improve immune system performance.

2. Lower Blood Pressure

This is one of the unique properties of beets, or any other rich source of organic nitrates. These substances raise nitric oxide levels, which can lead to a significant reduction in blood pressure.

Thanks to this special property, beet juice is sometimes treated as a home remedy for hypertension. Research shows beet juice is a potential supplementation to reduce blood pressure.

However, we believe diseases and health conditions should be treated and cured by the hands of professionals. If you do have hypertension or related diseases, we recommend consulting a doctor, rather than relying on articles online.

3. Promote Cardiovascular Health

An antioxidant-rich diet is also linked to lowered risks of cardiovascular diseases, a study claims. Antioxidants like vitamin C can protect the artery walls against radical damage, thus enhancing their durability.

Vitamin C is also found to lower the rate of LDL oxidation, which leads to artery plaque formation. Sufficient intake of this vitamin is, therefore, linked to effective plaque removal.

In addition to this nutrient, iron and folate in beet juice also play important roles in the body. They are responsible for forming red blood cells, ensuring the normal circulation of blood.

4. Maintain Healthy Skin

Our skin cells constantly suffer from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Oxidative stress damages the cells, which can accelerate the aging process of skin cells.

Antioxidants like vitamin C can reduce the effects of oxidative stress and thus slow down the aging process.

Calories

One serving of this orange beet juice recipe yields 113 calories.

Oranges and beets are naturally sweet, so we were supposed to add zero sugar or honey into this drink. However, the oranges we had were far from sweet, and as a result, we turned to granulated sugar.

The amount we added is 6 grams per serving, which accounts for only less than 20% of the total calories. This completely complies with the USDA’s recommended daily intake of sugar:

Make This Juice Without a Juicer

Getting a juicer can be a great nuisance, especially if you don’t drink juice on a daily basis. Researching, writing down the criteria, considerations— we’ve been through all of it, and it is not easy.

With a blender and cheesecloth, you can make beet juice in the comfort of your own kitchen.

First, cut the beets into small pieces. The smaller the pieces are, the less time it will take for your blender.

Then, add the beets into the blender along with ½ cup of water. Blend until it becomes a smoothie, and then grab the cheesecloth to extract the juice by hand.

Place the cheesecloth over a sieve, into a bowl. Pour the beet “smoothie” into the cheesecloth, grab its corners, and wring out the beet juice.

You’ll find the amount of liquid coming out is the same, no matter how hard you squeeze it. Be gentle with it, and you’ll end up with a beautiful batch of juice in less than 5 minutes.
