🧐 Can juicing heal your gut?

Drinking juice for an upset stomach can help calm your stomach and promote better digestion.

When we have stomach problems, we need to rest our digestive tract. This means we need to reduce the amount of work we are giving it. This is why a juice diet and having soups are great ways to aid digestive disorders.

Juicing promotes a diet rich in vitamins and minerals, helping our body get back on track. There are many reasons why adding juicing to your routine makes perfect sense.

Make sure you check on celery juice, as you are sure to find lots of eye-opening facts about this underrated vegetable. Add the morning celery juice to your healthy gut routine and the cabbage juice which has been used since ancient times for stomach ulcers.

🧾 Ingredients

Always use fresh fruits and vegetables when juicing.

• Fresh ginger root
• Organic apples
• Cucumber
• Celery
• Apple cider vinegar
• Beets
• Mint leaves

See quantities and complete instructions in the recipe card.

Read below how each of these ingredients can contribute to getting rid of stomach discomfort and constipation.

🔪 Instructions

To make this simple digestive juice recipe and fight gut issues and bad bacteria, simply follow these steps:

1. Wash your peppermint leaves, green apples, and celery stalks thoroughly.
2. Peel the beets and ginger roots. You can also add ginger without pealing it.
3. Chop all the ingredients into small to medium chunks.
4. Juice. Pass everything through the juicer shut. The juicing process will take about 3-5 minutes.
5. Stir in a tablespoon of vinegar and mix. Feel free to skip the vinegar if it is not of your liking, but it is a keeper for gut issues.

Tip: I recommend starting easy with half a cup of juice. Wait a few minutes before drinking a glass. When you have tummy issues, the stomach tends to be over-sensitive.

This simple recipe will help you kick-start your day and replenish your body with soluble fiber and vitamins.

This digestive juice recipe is also weight-loss friendly because it only has 44 calories per serving, so no worries about weight gain!

🧐 Which foods are best for digestion?

Many different types of fruit and vegetable juices can help with digestive health, but purple juice made from beets, apples, celery, ginger, peppermint, and apple vinegar is amongst the best. Celery juice is amongst the most popular ones.

Apple juice

Apples juice is excellent for digestion because it contains pectin. Pectin is a type of soluble fiber that can help to soothe an upset stomach.

As apples are rich in Vitamin C, you might hear that it can lead to adverse side effects like stomachache, but most doctors agree that it is nearly impossible to get too much vitamin C from food sources. Just watch out for your supplements.

Celery juice

Celery juice is excellent for stomach aches because it is light and easy to digest. It also helps with detoxification and reducing inflammation. Celery juice on its own has a variety of health benefits and outstanding properties, and you should consider drinking it on an empty stomach if you have recurrent digestion issues, acid reflux, and inflammatory problems.

We like to have our morning celery juice during detox and cleanse periods.

Eating celery is also remarkable for relieving constipation, given its high fiber content.

Beetroot juice

Beets contain a lot of fiber, which helps keep you regular, preventing constipation and inflammatory bowel disease. Thus, it is a good idea to eat beetroot in its solid form rather than beetroot celery juice.

You can also try beets in savory dishes like this delicious lemon beet hummus, which is also on this site.

Cucumber juice

Cucumber juice is a good digestion partner because it is a mild diuretic and helps flush out toxins and bad bacteria.

Ginger

Juiced ginger also helps ease stomach discomfort; it reduces nausea. This fantastic root also helps boost our immune system and fight any exogenous bacteria, helping our digestive enzymes and juices re-establish good digestion.

Apple cider vinegar

This vinegar is also an excellent option for upset stomachs, and it contains acetic acid, which has been shown to help with nausea. Apple cider vinegar is great for an upset stomach because it alkalizes the body and restores pH balance. It also kills harmful bacteria, supports gut health, and aids in digestion.

If you're feeling nauseous, try drinking a cup of water with two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar mixed in - the alkaline properties will calm an agitated stomach.

Together, these ingredients make the perfect juice for stomachache. If you are still experiencing discomfort after drinking this juice, speaking with a healthcare professional might be a good idea.

Lemon juice

Lemons are a highly acidic food, which can cause stomach cramps and ulcers. Despite its high acidity, lemon can raise the body's pH. Lemon may also assist the absorption of aluminum hydroxide, an antacid ingredient used to treat acid reflux.

Juice half a lemon in warm water on an empty stomach to improve gut health.

Oat milk

Oat milk is an excellent choice for people with upset stomachs. It is high in fiber and contains beta-glucans, which can help to soothe the stomach lining. Oat milk is also low in acid, making it a good choice for people who are struggling with an acidic stomach.

Coconut water

Coconut water helps relieve constipation, prevent digestive disorders, reduce acidity in the stomach, and promote gut health.

Infusions for digestive health

Three great infusions to aid healthy digestion are chamomile tea and mint.

1. Chamomile - has a soothing effect on our bodies, and luckily, that includes our gut health and reducing abdominal pain.
2. Mint - calming peppermint relaxes your stomach and may help with the pain.
3. Ginger - delaying the stomach emptying may cause indigestion. In a clinical study, it was found that consuming it significantly accelerated stomach emptying. We always add it to our green juice since it provides flavor and has immune system-supporting properties.

Solids for gut health

That doesn't mean that we cannot consume solids. They help relieve constipation, but they should be as plain as possible, and you should avoid large quantities as they can have harmful effects. Think white rice, like steamed Jasmine rice, or simply baked, boiled, or mashed potatoes without butter.

A baked sweet potato is also a healthy, yummy, and gluten-free option.

Bananas are also great because they are full of potassium. Potassium can help balance electrolyte levels in your body, which may help with an upset stomach and other symptoms associated with low blood sugar or dehydration.

Eating a banana is also an excellent choice for people who have trouble keeping down solid foods when they have an upset stomach because bananas do not require much chewing, are very soft, help relieve constipation, and promote bowel movements.

Applesauce - pectin is present in apples, and its fiber content can act as a thickener that aids in forming firm stool and prevents recurring diarrhea. Apples also help regulate bowel movements, as apples are natural laxatives of the large intestine.

Consuming less sugar when facing stomach discomfort is essential, so it is good to have unsweetened applesauce as a solid food option.

Saltine crackers may also help to calm your stomach. They are bland and will not irritate your stomach like other foods.

🤔 Which is the best juicer to use?

Get an excellent Cold-Pressed juicer, also known as a slow-masticating juicer.

It will be one of the best investments you have made this year! Trust me! Check the juicer's instructions before starting, as many juicers have different working mechanisms.
