The health benefits of root vegetables can be attributed to their richness in nutrients, vitamins and minerals and organic compounds like carotenoids, dietary fiber and flavonoids. Drinking fresh juices are a great way to get in your daily recommended servings of fruit and vegetables, strengthen your immune system, detoxify your body and improve digestion. Another bonus to drinking fresh juices - they taste great!
