The Science Behind the Smoothies
What makes these blends so effective? Each ingredient targets key areas. Spinach’s chlorophyll aids detoxification, while beetroot’s nitrates boost circulation. 📊 Fiber from chia and oats regulates blood sugar, and antioxidants in berries combat aging. The hydration from cucumber and water supports kidney function, flushing toxins. Research on fruit-vegetable diets shows improved gut microbiota and reduced inflammation within a week, aligning with this plan’s goals.
Pair these smoothies with a balanced diet – lean proteins, whole grains – to maximize benefits. Drink plenty of water to aid fiber’s work and enhance nutrient absorption.
