*Blend all the ingredients with a bit of water. Strain the mixture, squeeze a lemon and drink immediately.

While cucumber is a cooling agent, carrot is a good source of beta carotene. Beetroot is rich in iron while tomato is a good source of lycopene and vitamin C. When combined with the benefits of green chilly, which is rich in vitamin E and provides immunity against cold and flu, this raw vegetable juice is a complete vitamin and iron-infused concoction that is great for skin and hair health, shared Makhija in a Facebook Live session last year.

*Do not over-exercise

*Include some good fats like coconut oil, seeds, and nuts

Aren’t these really that simple? After all, if you nourish your body from within, it will reflect on the outside as well.
