Beetroot.Beets contain a lot of betaine, an antioxidant that reduces homocysteine levels, which aggressively affects the lining of blood vessels. The expert stated that drinking beetroot juice is useful for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and age-related deterioration of brain function.
Tomato. This juice is rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that prevents the development of tumors.
“In addition, tomatoes contain a high concentration of mineral salts and phytoncides, which are important for the immune system,” added the nutritionist.
