Apple, carrot, oranges and celery stroke prevention juice

According to Mayo Clinic, “A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or severely reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and food. Within minutes, brain cells begin to die.”

A stroke is a medical emergency, and you must seek medical care immediately upon the occurrence of a stroke.

The good news is that with the right diet and lifestyle, strokes can be prevented. May is National Stroke Awareness Month, we wanted to share a healthy recipe for you.

This stroke prevention juice is packed with organic foods that lower cholesterol and promote heart health, which can prevent strokes.

Apples:

A Dutch study showed that eating apples may reduce risk of stroke.

Carrots:

They are an excellent source of beta-carotene, which according to the journal Neuroepidemiology is associated with a reduced risk of stroke.

Celery:

A study published in Natural Medicine Journal shows that celery extract helps lower blood pressure. High blood pressure, or hypertension is considered a major risk factor for stroke.

Oranges: Research published by the American Stroke Association in their journal Stroke shows that flavonoids found in citrus fruits and juices like oranges may be associated with a reduced risk of stroke.

Stroke prevention juice:

Process the following ingredients in a juicer:

2 apples

3 carrots

2 stalks of celery

2 oranges

Optional: We like adding 1/2 cup filtered water 

Make sure ingredients are organic and the water is filtered.
