  • Drink Your Way to CLEAR SKIN | The Naija Goddess

    < Back Drink Your Way to CLEAR SKIN Prep Time: 10 Minutes Cook Time: N/A Serves: 1 Level: Beginner About the Recipe At some point in life, we have all had an acne breakout and they are no fun. If acne is a recurring problem for you, these 3 drinks will help relieve the root cause of acne. Acne is caused by something blocking the follicles. Typically, it is a buildup of harmful bacteria, yeast and/or candida within the digestive tract. It is also attributed to hormonal imbalances. So taking birth control pills and antibiotics add to this issue. Eating processed foods that contain refined sugars and hydrogenated oils are certainly causative. And perhaps a lesser-known fact is drinking chlorinated and fluoridated water. All of the aforementioned can increase the growth of bad bacteria, yeast, and candida within the body. Ingredients 16oz carrot juice 2 tsp EVOO 1000mg turmeric high ORAC 2 garlic cloves Drink 2x in same day. Double recipe. Sip the juice as a meal over 20-30 minutes Preparation Run everything through a juicer and store in a glass jar. Drink immediately or place in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Previous Next
