Tomato and Basil Juice

I was visiting Uncle Google and searching for information about the best way to moisturize the skin (after too many hours on a plane it needs water by injection) and I repeatedly came across tomato juice. Knowledge and health can not be ignored, so I’ve began to read. After an hour I was cutting tomatoes, tearing basil leaves, and blender couldn’t wait to start blending. It turns out that this drink is a true friend for your body and the friend must be respected, so you should grab a glass of it quite often. Why is it so good? Just look at it:

• helps to eliminate tension and makes you calm
• contains lycopene which reduces the likelihood of heart disease, cancer and atherosclerosis
• contains fiber which helps with digestion and is great for detoxing your system.
• protects the skin from wrinkles, helps in fight against acne and moisturizes the skin
• strengthens nails and hair
• is a hangover cure

What not to love? If you’d like to twist a taste, follow the recipe.

You will need:

• 4 tomatoes (medium), cut into cubes
• handful of basil, fresh
• 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
• pinch of cayenne pepper

Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend it. On a hot day you can always add few cubes of ice.
