Fresh carrot juice is the basis of many vegetable mixtures in juice therapy. I recommend using only raw juice prepared just before drinking. Drink it in small portions between meals and combine it with other vegetables: beets, cucumber, spinach, or celery.

## Why do I put carrot juice first?

In my juice therapy system, carrots occupy the main place in almost all mixtures. They are the basis of many vegetable combinations. This is because of their mild taste and good compatibility with other vegetables.

I use only fresh raw juice. Cooked carrots or a ready-made drink from a store are already a different product. It is important not only to choose the right vegetable, but also to preserve its freshness.

Carrot juice is rich in vitamin A, which the body absorbs well. Carrots also contain B vitamins, as well as vitamins C, D, E, and K.

In juice therapy, carrots are used to support the eyes, skin, nervous system, and overall tone of the body. I see juice not as medicine, but as part of nutrition. It is food in liquid form that complements the usual diet.

It is important to look at nutrition as a whole and take your body's individual characteristics into account. A natural product requires the same careful attention as any other part of the diet.

## Why shouldn't you use juice from a carton?

Many people ask me: can store-bought juice replace homemade juice? I answer: no, they are not the same thing. Fresh raw juice and a store-bought drink go through different preparation processes.

I recommend making the juice immediately before drinking it. Do not leave it until the next day. Fresh juice is valued precisely because it is prepared shortly before consumption.

The vegetables also matter. It is better to choose fresh produce. Good carrots should be juicy and of good quality. Such vegetables produce a richer drink.

These rules are similar to the rules for preparing herbs. It is important not only what you use, but also how you prepare the product. I wrote more about this in the article [How to Brew Herbs: Rules of Home Herbal Medicine](/blog/kak-zavarivat-travy/).

## What mixtures with carrot juice do I use?

In my system, there are several classic combinations. All quantities are calculated for a large glass — approximately 480 ml, that is, one pint according to Walker's measure. If necessary, you can prepare half a portion.

The first mixture:

- **Carrot 300 ml + beet 90 ml + cucumber 90 ml**.

This is one of the well-known combinations. In it, carrot is combined with beet and cucumber. The second mixture:

- **Carrot 300 ml + spinach 180 ml**.

This mixture is used as nourishment for the intestines and nervous system. The third mixture:

- **Carrot 210 ml + celery 150 ml + lettuce 120 ml**.

This is a mild mineral mixture for general nourishment of the body. It is better to start calmly. There is no need to prepare large amounts right away. The body needs to get used to the new product.

## How should you drink carrot juice properly?

I recommend starting with one glass of carrot or carrot-vegetable juice a day. It is better to drink it between meals. The main rule is to drink the juice immediately after preparing it.

Do not leave it for later. Drink slowly, in small sips, as if chewing it.

This method helps the juice mix with saliva. If the mixture contains beet, use less of it at first. At the beginning, one or two spoonfuls of beet juice in the mixture are enough. Then you can gradually increase the amount.

Juice should complement your diet, not replace regular food. This is an important rule for any change in diet. Depending on the condition of the body, my system describes different amounts of juice. But it is better to start calmly, with small amounts, while observing your reaction.

## How should you read Walker's formulas?

Many of my readers see numbers like "300 + 90 + 90" and do not understand where they come from. Here, Walker's measure is used — a pint, about 480 ml.

In this system, one part is approximately 30 ml. Therefore, a mixture of carrot, beet, and cucumber has a ratio of 10:3:3. Such calculations help preserve precise proportions. But at home, you do not have to calculate everything down to the milliliter every time. It is important to understand the basis of the mixture.

Carrot remains the main ingredient. Other vegetables are added to change the composition and taste. In my "Health ABC," I discuss different juice combinations in detail. It contains formulas and explanations of how to use them.

## What do different additions to carrot juice provide?

Each vegetable in a mixture has its own role. I use different combinations to change the composition of the drink. In my system, beet and cucumber are added to support the blood, liver, kidneys, and gallbladder. Spinach is especially valued when the intestines are sluggish and for constipation. Celery is added for the mineral composition of the mixture. Combined with carrot, it makes the taste richer and adds a green component.

### What other vegetables are used in juice mixtures?

In addition to the main carrot combinations, my system also considers other vegetable juices. Raw cabbage juice is used for the mucous membranes of the stomach and intestines. Parsley is added carefully to mixtures for the kidneys, blood vessels, and eyes.

But carrot remains the basis of many formulas. It occupies the main place because of its compatibility and nutritional value.

I discussed liver nutrition separately in the article [Overloaded Liver: Signs and How to Relieve It](/blog/pechen-priznaki-peregruzki/). There I explain why it is important to pay attention not only to individual foods, but also to the overall way of eating.

## What small details help you make good juice?

There are several simple rules that are often forgotten. Juice begins not with the juicer, but with choosing the produce: carrots should be firm and juicy. Do not add sugar. The purpose of vegetable juice is to preserve the natural taste of the ingredients.

For children, juice can be diluted with water by half. Before regular use, it is better to consider individual needs and discuss the diet with a doctor. It is also important to remember to drink water throughout the day. I wrote about simple rules for drinking water in the article [How Much Water to Drink and When: Simple Rules](/blog/voda-skolko-pit/).

## What should you do if you feel heaviness after drinking juice?

Sometimes after the first glasses, a person feels bloating or heaviness. This does not always mean that the juice is unsuitable. In such cases, there is no need to rush. You can reduce the amount and observe the body's reaction. Any dietary change requires gradual adjustment. It is better to start with a small amount and pay close attention to how you feel. If the unpleasant sensations persist, it is worth discussing your diet with a specialist.

### Why might the body react to juice?

Some people notice changes in digestion after starting to drink juices. In my practice, I have noticed that gas and heaviness do not always mean that a product is harmful. It is important not to draw sudden conclusions. The body needs time to get used to a new form of nutrition.

## Are there situations when caution is needed?

Fresh vegetable juices are part of the diet, but they do not suit everyone in the same way. With some conditions, the amount and composition require an individual approach.

For example, people with diabetes need to consider that carrot juice contains natural sugars and may affect blood glucose levels. In such cases, regular consumption is best discussed with a doctor.

Also, with diseases of the gallbladder or kidneys, or during an exacerbation of peptic ulcer disease, it is worth getting individual advice before regular consumption. I always advocate a reasonable approach. Natural products can be part of the diet, but they do not replace medical care. Juice should not be viewed as a universal remedy for every problem. It is important to consider the condition of the body and maintain a balanced diet.

## The main rules for carrot juice

In short, I would highlight several main points. Use only fresh raw juice. Prepare it before drinking. Start with one glass of carrot or carrot-vegetable juice a day. Drink it between meals and in small sips. Carrot remains the basis of most mixtures. You can add beet, cucumber, spinach, or celery. Do not replace полноценное питание with juice. Let it be a supplement to your diet.

Simple rules are more important than complicated schemes. In juice therapy, the quality of the ingredients, the right proportions, and attention to the body's reaction are important.
