The toxic substances in the baby mainly come from two ways: one way is the pollutants in the atmosphere and water sources, which invade the human body through breathing and eating, represented by heavy metals such as lead, aluminum, and mercury. Another way is the waste of food after metabolism in the baby, such as free radicals, indole, hydrogen sulfide, etc. Vegetable juice can remove the toxins and wastes accumulated in the baby's body, make the blood alkaline, dissolve the toxins accumulated in the cells, and discharge them out of the body. Drinking more vegetable juice can supplement the baby's body with comprehensive nutrition and improve their immunity and disease resistance. Summer is the season when all kinds of vegetables are on the market. Choose some healthy seasonal vegetables to make vegetable juice. Our experience tells us that six kinds of vegetable juice such as cucumber are very beneficial to a baby's health. The preparation method of our vegetable juice is very simple. Wash and cut the vegetables into small pieces, put them in boiling water for 15 to 30 seconds (different vegetables, different times), and then put them into the vegetable juicer to stir.

Cucumber juice contains many elements that are needed for a baby's hair and nails. Drinking some cucumber juice to the baby can not only clear away heat and relieve summer heat but also promote the excretion of intestinal toxins and increase the baby's physical immunity. Half an hour before meals or one hour after meals are the best. If the baby drinks it half an hour before meals, it can play an appetizing role. If the baby drinks it one hour after meals, it can promote food digestion and absorption and help gastrointestinal digestion.

Celery is nutritious and has crude fiber. For the baby, drinking some celery juice between meals is helpful to the baby's gastrointestinal digestion. When we first add celery juice to our baby, it depends on the baby's acceptance. We need to give our baby an adaptation process. Celery is a high-fiber food. It produces a kind of lignin or intestinal fat through intestinal digestion. This kind of substance is an antioxidant. Drinking celery juice can whiten and protect the skin.

Our little Dawnxi can get her daily requirement of vitamin C by drinking the juice of 1-2 tomatoes a day. Tomato contains a lot of citric acids and malic acid, which can promote the generation of a baby's gastric juice and strengthen the digestion of greasy food. Regular drinking of tomato juice can make your baby's skin fit. Tomatoes are also rich in citric acid and fruit acid, which can help the baby digest and promote appetite.

The selenium contained in cabbage juice not only helps to prevent and treat the baby's amblyopia but also helps to enhance the bactericidal power of the baby's white blood cells and resist the toxicity of heavy metals to the body. When the baby's gum infection causes periodontal disease, drinking the mixed juice of cabbage and carrot can not only supply a lot of vitamin C for the baby but also clean the baby's mouth. Cabbage juice is rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron, dietary fiber, carotene, a small amount of protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and so on.

The water content of watermelon juice reached 91.5%, it can effectively supplement the water in the baby's body and prevent the baby from heatstroke due to water loss. Watermelon juice can also promote the baby's urination and discharge the excess heat in the baby's body to achieve the effect of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. Watermelon juice contains almost all the nutrients needed by the baby. The lycopene content of watermelon juice exceeds that of tomatoes. A cup of watermelon contains about 6 mg lycopene, while a tomato only contains about 4 mg lycopene. As a super antioxidant, lycopene can enhance the function of the baby's immune system. Watermelon juice contains protease, which can convert insoluble protein into water-soluble protein to help babies absorb protein.

"When our little Dawnxi sees us drinking vegetable juice", illustrated by dawnxisoul393

We explained to our little Dawnxi the benefits of drinking vegetable juice, such as that her body would be stronger, she wouldn't get sick, she wouldn't need medication, she wouldn't need shots, her hair would be darker and softer, she would be prettier, etc. (all of which she met). When we were kids, we all didn't like vegetables or vegetable juice and loved eggs, and our little Dawnxi is the same way. But when our little Dawnxi sees us drinking vegetable juice, she will be convinced of the benefits of drinking vegetable juice. We involve our little Dawnxi in the process of buying and choosing vegetables so that little Dawnxi is more willing to drink juice from the vegetables she bought with mommy and daddy. There are many benefits of vegetable juices for babies, but it is important to pay attention to hygiene in the preparation process so that germs do not get into the vegetable juice. You can alternate between cucumber juice, carrot juice, celery juice, tomato juice, cabbage juice, watermelon juice, etc.
