*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.
How to consume it?
Slurping it down immediately is the key, mentioned Makhija. “You will be amazed to see the difference in your skin, the plumpness and the softness. Your hair will be long, healthy and shining. That is how you give your body good nutrition in terms of all the vitamins and iron,” she said.
