Anti-inflammatory drinks rich in antioxidants contribute to strengthening the immune system and controlling weight gain. One such drink is discussed by dietitian Dr. Michael Green.
Michael Green claims that there is a complex relationship between the immune system and weight loss, influenced by factors such as inflammation and oxidative stress. Therefore, anti-inflammatory drinks prove to be especially effective. They contribute to both boosting immunity and weight loss. One of the best options the doctor mentions is carrot-ginger juice.
“This is a powerful elixir rich in antioxidants. The vibrant drink has high nutritional value and protective properties that shield the body from diseases and inflammation. Both ingredients are beneficial. Carrots contain beta-carotene, known for its immune-stimulating properties, while ginger has anti-inflammatory effects and positively impacts digestion,” explains Dr. Green.
He emphasizes that beta-carotene plays an important role in fighting free radicals, which affect inflammatory processes and threaten the immune system, reports SHE FINDS.
Additionally, the doctor reminds us that carrots and ginger are rich in vitamins and minerals, especially vitamins C and A. The former is known for its ability to protect the body from infections. The drink is also low in calories and suitable for anyone looking to lose weight while providing the body with essential nutrients.
Among the drawbacks of this drink, Dr. Green notes its low fiber content. To address this, he offers several tips.
“Try adding some carrot pulp to the juice or eat a whole carrot along with the drink. Fiber helps to feel full, which also aids in weight loss,” concludes Green.
