Raw juices can reduce inflammation in your liver

Ideally, raw juices should be consumed immediately after juicing and all produce must be raw and fresh because that is when their nutritional content is most active. If you are super busy, you can juice enough for 7 days at one time (this is around 4 liters or one gallon). Freeze the juice immediately after making it. Pour the juice into glass containers and place in the freezer.

If the juices are too strong and/or upset your stomach, or taste unpleasant, you should dilute them with plenty of water, extra apple or reduce the amounts of the ingredients which upset you. You can vary the ingredients and their amounts to give you more enjoyment and variety.

Most of these recipes will produce 1-2 cups of juice.
