4 Juices to Boost Flexibility

4 Juices to Boost Flexibility

Yogis and Yoginis take note: You can improve your flexibility with juice! Are you ready for the best sports drink of your life? Because these juices actually make exercising – especially stretching exercises – easier.

Beet juice is rich in nitrates, which our bodies convert to nitrites, which dilate blood vessels and increase blood flow. The result: Your muscles need less oxygen to do the same amount of work, making exercise feel less difficult.

Can’t Beet the Staying Power Recipe

  • 1 beet
  • 4 stalks celery
  • 1/2′ ginger
  • 1 stalk kale
  • 1 green apple

Green juice using kale, spinach, chard, collard greens and watercress, improve flexibility through their high water content and ability to cleanse acids from the body.

Hydrating Green Juice

  • 2 red chard leaves
  • 3 kale stalks
  • 2 celery stalks
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 1 cup broccoli
  • 1 apple or pear

Turmeric juice, as an additive to any of your favorite juices, is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatories out there. Inflammation not only reduces flexibility, but has also been linked to a wide range of health problems, from arthritis to obesity.

  • 2 cups almond/hemp milk
  • 2 dates pitted
  • 1 tbsp raw honey
  • 1/2 tbsp turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
