Maintaining good eye health is essential, especially as we age. Cataracts, a common cause of vision impairment, develop when the eye’s lens becomes cloudy. While medical treatments are available, nature offers powerful alternatives that may help slow or prevent cataracts naturally. This surprising juice recipe is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and nutrients that support eye health, potentially protecting your vision and reducing the risk of cataracts. Incorporate this refreshing and nutrient-dense juice into your routine and give your eyes the care they deserve.
Ingredients:
2 medium carrots (rich in beta-carotene)
1 small apple (for natural sweetness and vitamin C)
1/2 cucumber (hydrating and full of antioxidants)
1 small orange (vitamin C powerhouse)
A handful of fresh spinach leaves (loaded with lutein and zeaxanthin)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (helps preserve the juice and adds vitamin C)
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (anti-inflammatory benefits)
Optional: A pinch of turmeric powder (for added anti-inflammatory properties)

Wash all the fresh produce thoroughly.
Peel the carrots, orange, and ginger to ensure a smooth juice.
Core the apple and cut into chunks for easier blending.
Add the carrots, apple, cucumber, spinach, orange, ginger, and lemon juice into a high-speed blender or juice extractor.
Blend or juice until smooth. If using a blender, you may want to strain the mixture through a fine sieve or cheesecloth for a clearer juice.

Serve immediately for the best nutrient retention.
