What Is ABC Miracle Drink?

ABC drink stands for apple, beetroot and carrot juice. This blend of vegetables juiced together give a powerful juice packed with nutrients and antioxidants that many nutritionists called the ultimate juice.

You can really call it a ‘Miracle Drink’ because abc juice benefits are many and important, such as: powerful, nutritive, energizing, immune-boosting, detoxifying, health improving proprieties.

And once you make it at home, you can be sure it’s free from any preservatives and additives you may find in store bought products.

And it’s easy and quick to make, too.

 

Why To Use A Blender?

While it is true that the pure raw juice obtained with the help of a juicer is more powerful and nutritious, the blender version is the next best thing.

 

Beetroot Juice Is Very Powerful

It’s just more diluted which is not a bad thing. It is even recommended because many times the body can strongly respond to the powerful detoxifying effect of the pure concentrated beetroot juice.

If you consider using plain beet juice from a juicer, you must start slowly, consuming small quantities to let your body adjust to its intense potency.

The liver must adapt slowly. Then you can increase to larger quantities, gradually. You must drink the necessary amount of water per day to help flush the toxins out from your system.

Detoxing always has nasty effects in the beginning – especially headaches, dizziness, digestion problems.

Don’t let that discourage you. They will pass, and drinking the necessary amount of water helps a lot in this process. It’s extremely important. Think of drinking water as the internal shower and the beet juice acting as a cleansing product.

 

Beet Juice Without A Juicer?

Yes, you can still enjoy beet juice at home even if you don’t have a juicer. I am using a blender to obtain and enjoy my regularly beetroot, carrot and apple juice.

I do have a juicer that I’ve purchased in the past for this purpose, but I confess that I was so tired of cleaning all the parts and assembling it back again that I finally packed it and put it away.

Not to mention that it was big and occupying a lot of space in my kitchen. So, of to the blender I went. In just a few seconds I blend and clean. The drawback is that I have to work a little more to strain and separate the pulp, but I still prefer it. And I am making this miracle juice 2 times per week.

ABC Juice Benefits (Beet, Carrot And Apple Drink)

Why am I drinking this juice? Well, I first started because of a Iron deficiency (anemia) that I had. I needed to increase Iron absorption, to increase hemoglobin levels and using Iron supplements is not a thing I prefer.

Organic food consumption is always more beneficial for the body because it contains enzymes and elements that your cells can use and absorb.

Synthetic obtained supplements and drugs are not useful for the living cells because they are not organic, to be recognized and used in organic processes. They will be flushed by the body and eliminated without any effects whatsoever.

Like Hippocrates, the father of medicine said:

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
Hippocrates

I have come to understand the importance of eating organic, raw, living foods after reading one of the most important books in my opinion: “Living Food” by Ernst Gunter back in the ’90s. I can’t seem to find this book in bookstores anymore.

Beetroot Internal Benefits

Beetroot is a super-food packed with essential nutrients. It contains nitrates which are used by the body to turn into nitric oxide – which relaxes and widen the blood vessels. Thus, protecting against stroke and heart disease.

Also contains fiber and most important minerals and vitamins as:

  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin A
  • Vitamin B9
  • Iron
  • Manganese
  • Potassium

It has powerful antioxidants that fight cell damage. The most important antioxidant is a substance named betalains (that gives the beet’s rich, intense color) which reduces inflammation and helps protect against most major illnesses.

Health benefits include lowering blood pressure, boosting the immune system, increasing strength and stamina, improving blood flow, increasing muscle and exercising performance. Supports healthy heart and healthy digestive system.

 

Beetroot Juice Skin Benefits

Beetroot juice brings skin benefits from inside out.

Through its detox process and improved blood circulation beet juice also contributes to a more glowing complexion and gives a natural blush.

The antioxidant power works for the anti-aging process protecting cells from oxidation, promoting cell growth and their optimal functionality.

 

Carrot Juice Benefits

Carrots are rich in beta-carotene and Vitamin A. They are top nutritious vegetables and include many other key vitamins and minerals such as:

  • Vitamin K
  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin B6
  • Vitamin E
  • Thiamin
  • Lutein
  • Niacin
  • Manganese
  • Potassium
  • Copper
  • Phosphorus

As you can see, carrots are packed with lots of nutrients. We should consume them daily and raw as much as possible. That’s why I add them to my beet juice.

Their most important benefits is their help in maintaining eye health.

Lutein and other carotenoids are known to help protecting the lens and retina from absorption of blue light from phones and computer screens. Boy, we all need that!

They also help to help regulate blood pressure, reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and bring in important antioxidants to the body.

 

Apple Juice Benefits

In my opinion, apple is the most healthy and complete fruit that one can consume. It has numerous health benefits and is fully packed with phytonutrients, antioxidants, polyphenols, flavonoids, fiber, vitamins and minerals.

You know that saying, don’t you?…

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

It came from deep wisdom from ancient times observing and learning in real life about the benefits of eating raw apples.

They lower the risk of many chronic diseases including diabetes and heart disease. Apples are great in supporting weight loss, lowering cholesterol, maintaining brain health and improving digestion.

Apples feed the body with important nutrients such as:

  • Fiber
  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin K
  • Vitamin E
  • Vitamin B6
  • Vitamin B1
  • Copper
  • Potassium

Enough compelling reasons to include apples into this Miracle Drink. I also consume raw apples often.

Back to our beet juice. It’s not essential to always use carrots and apples if you don’t have them at hand. Just the beet juice alone is sufficient to improve your health and increase energy. That’s the base.

Apples and carrots are completing this juice and making it close to perfection when it comes to nutrition that we can bring to our body.

That’s why is called the ultimate juice. It’s powerful, packed with nutrients and makes it easy to include your important daily intake of vitamins and minerals. Detoxifying and nutritious at the same time.

It’s also making me feel less guilty enjoying one occasional burger or my delicious Romanian stuffed peppers. 🙂 What could I want more?…

 

How To Make ABC Juice

When using the blender to obtain any vegetable juice water is necessary to be added. The water quantity depends on the vegetables quantity. I have a big blender and I added 2 cups of water to obtain more delicious juice.

ABC Juice Benefits: My Results

As I said above, I started making this juice out of necessity to increase hemoglobin values. This beets juice helped a lot, although it’s not a quick process. One must incorporate other Iron containing foods like chicken or pork liver, lean meats, leafy greens, beans, pomegranates, apples, apricots, grapes.

My healthy routine starts in the morning by drinking 2 glasses of warm water to flash the digestive system and give the body a good start. I strongly recommend this. Then I drink a cup of this wonderful juice which I bring to room temperature.

It’s important to drink liquids at room/body temperature to not shock the body that will have to consume lots of energy to adapt internal temperatures.

I am also keeping the intermittent fasting method 2/3 times per week. Which means eating only during an 8-hour daily window and fasting for the next 16 hours.

It’s an easy weight loss / weight maintaining method that is making waves all over the world right now.

Example: if you have the first meal at 11 AM you can have the last meal 8 hours later at 7 PM. After that, eat nothing for 16 hours. Just drink plain water to hydrate your body.

To be easy on your body, simple to follow and also to avoid any nutrition deficiency use it for just 3 days in the week. It also helps in liver detoxification, clearing liver fat and melting fat in general.

This method is based on a Nobel prize discovery stating that your body will start consuming its own toxins, fats and dead cells to extract energy to keep functioning when is not receiving food. Thus, the 16 hours eating pause.

Back to my results, I observed an increase in energy, stamina and strength. My complexion cleaned and a natural blush was a nice improvement. My skin looked rejuvenated and getting a more healthier color.

But the most pleasant and unexpected result was the disappearing of cellulite! Wow! I’ve got rid of that ugly cellulite aspect on my thighs. I almost don’t believe it. I think drinking the warm water first thing in the morning had a lot to do with it and the miracle juice did the rest.

Is beetroot juice good for anemia?

Yes, beets and beet juice are recommended to increase hemoglobin levels and Iron absorption. It is not a quick process, it usually takes about 4-6 weeks to see real results. Consume lean meats, liver and leafy greens which are also rich Iron foods.

Also, you should avoid consuming milk, dairy or other high Calcium foods 1 hour after drinking beet juice, as Calcium can interfere with the Iron absorption process.

 

How to make beet juice for high blood pressure?

Beetroot juice can help a lot in normalizing blood flow and lowering blood pressure. Use the juicer method or the blender method exposed above to enjoy all the health benefits that beets can bring to your heart and circulatory system. Add some carrots too.

Just consume it regularly for at least 30 days to see some results.

 

When to drink beetroot juice?

It is best to drink beetroot juice in the morning, on an empty stomach. See my recommendations above about cleansing your digestive system first drinking warm water.

As a classic diet rule one should always consume fruits and raw fruit / vegetable juices on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before heaving a meal. Otherwise the fruits will be mixing with other foods in your stomach, spoiling the digestion process which leads to fermentation.

 

What can i mix with beet juice to make it taste better?

Beetroot juice has a powerful earthy flavor. But also has some sweetness too. I like the taste of it just as it is. However, to improve tastiness you can use apple or pomegranate juice or add some honey, lemon or ginger to make it more to your liking.

 

How much beetroot per day?

Beets are among the healthiest foods to eat and there are no fixed limitations. Aldo, as a drawback they’re high in Oxalates that can lead to kidney stones. People with kidney disease should avoid beets or any oxalate rich foods and only eat them sparingly. Better consult your doctor to be on the safe side.

Other than that, it is safe to eat one small beet a day or drink one cup of beet juice, provided you begin gradually as I recommend in this article.

Final thoughts

I really hope you’ll decide to enjoy all these abc juice benefits, drinking it as often as you can. I highly recommend it.
