The recipe uses fresh, unpeeled fruit so the fiber and antioxidants stay intact.

To prepare this juice you’ll need:

½ cup of finely chopped cucumber with peel. It’s rich in fiber and antioxidants and helps decrease body fats by lowering levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides.

½ cup finely chopped unpeeled beet. According to an Irish study, beetroot juice helps control cholesterol levels.

½ cup chopped eggplant with peel. Helps lower levels of bad cholesterol (LDL).

½ cup chopped onion without skin. Prevents the formation of blood clots, improves blood circulation, prevents aging of the arteries and veins, and regulates cholesterol levels.

Juice of a lemon. Rich in vitamin C, it improves the elasticity of the arteries, prevents the formation of fatty deposits and also lowers the level of bad cholesterol (LDL).

And 1 glass of water.
