Lauki Amla Juice – a healthy juice made with bottle gourd and gooseberries.
Today is the first day of the year 2020. I wanted to start my day, year and this decade on a healthy note. So, started my day with the healthy Lauki Amla Juice. Bottlegourd & Gooseberries, both are rich in nutrients and offer multiple health benefits. They are known to promote heart, skin and hair health, aid digestion, cure constipation etc.
Importance of health can never be overemphasized because when you have health, you have everything. Good health starts with healthy eating and healthy living. Starting the day with a fresh vegetable juice can work wonders for your body. These are small lifestyle habits which can go a long way in maintaining a healthy body. To quote Jim Rohn – ”Take care of your body. It is the only place you have to live.”.
Lauki Amla Juice is one such healthy juice which when had on a regular basis can benefit immensely. Both bottlegourd and gooseberries are highly nutritious . Lauki amla juice with the addition of ginger and black salt/rock salt makes for a healthy drink and is definitely a great way to begin the day.
I have shared quite a few healthy juice recipes on this blog such as Green Detox Juice, Amla Juice, ABC Juice, Morning Boost, Mixed Vegetable Juice, Amla Cucumber Juice , Ash Gourd Juice etc.
