Here’s a little lesson on fennel! It’s rich in vitamin C, calcium, magnesium and iron. It helps with bloating and even bad breath! Fennel contains ANETHOL – which is really good at helping battle inflammation. When you eat a lot of processed foods your body is actually in a constant state of inflammation so it’s a good idea to stay away from processed foods altogether, and it’s also good to eat foods that help mitigate inflammation since our bodies are no doubt disturbed with pollutant substances – like chemicals, pollution, cleaning substance, etc. – that also causes inflammation in the body. Eating a nutrient dense diet rich in vitamins and minerals on a daily basis is taking a proactive approach to your health instead of waiting to get sick to load up on vitamins. Keep your body mind and spirit strong everyday so that you give your body and brain a chance to perform at its highest potential!

To juice the fennel, trim off the little “hairs” so you are just juicing the large white bulb and green stems. I cut this fennel into about 3 pieces to easily fit into juicer.
