Heart-Healthy Cholesterol-Lowering Juice

Ingredients (1–2 servings):

• 1 medium beetroot – rich in nitrates, which can improve blood flow and lower blood pressure.

• 1 medium apple (preferably green) – contains pectin, a soluble fiber that helps reduce LDL cholesterol.

• 1 cup fresh spinach – high in lutein and nitrates for vascular health.

• 1/2 avocado – provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and fiber.

• 1/2 lemon (juiced) – vitamin C and antioxidants support vascular health and reduce oxidation of LDL.

• 1-inch piece of fresh ginger – anti-inflammatory and may help lower cholesterol.

• 1 tablespoon flaxseed (ground) – rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3 that reduces LDL cholesterol.

• 1 cup water or unsweetened green tea – green tea contains catechins, which help lower cholesterol.

Instructions:

1. Wash all produce thoroughly.

2. If using a blender:

• Chop beet, apple, and avocado into smaller pieces.

• Add all ingredients, including water/green tea, to the blender.

• Blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve if you prefer a juice texture.

3. If using a juicer:

• Juice beet, apple, spinach, lemon, and ginger.

• Stir in ground flaxseed and avocado separately.

4. Serve immediately to preserve nutrients.

Scientific Rationale:

• Soluble fiber (from apple, avocado, flaxseed) binds cholesterol in the digestive system and helps excrete it.

• Plant sterols and omega-3s (from flaxseed and avocado) reduce cholesterol absorption.

• Antioxidants and polyphenols (from lemon, spinach, green tea) combat inflammation and oxidative stress.

• Beetroot nitrates support nitric oxide production, improving endothelial function
