Spicy Green Juice

Watercress is a peppery herb that has many health benefits. It is rich in iron, vitamin A, C, E, folate and antioxidants. According to Dr. Oz, in one of his articles he stated that watercress is a natural diuretic, additionally, it may retard the growth of breast cancer cells. It is rich in iodine, which may be beneficial for people suffering from hypothyroidism.

I love the spicy taste of this herb, combined with cucumbers and celery, it is very energizing and hydrating. To get the most benefit out of this herb, include it in your regular diet four to five times a week, either in your salad or juice.
