One of the trendiest vegetables getting spotlight from vegetarians and the people living healthy lifestyles alike is kale. Kale started to get recognition when the *U.S. Times* announced it as one of the ten super foods in the world.

Among all foods, kale has the highest beta-carotene content, which is beneficial for lowering risks of cancer. Physiologically, Kale is effective in cleaning the intestine, increasing metabolism, and creating new cells. However, kale is a green vegetable with a bitter taste. In order to enjoy Kale in a more pleasant way, blend it with a banana. Adding it will make the juice sweeter and softer.

It helps cause a diuretic effect, which speeds up the emission of the stacked sodium in our body. Taking into consideration that many Korean foods are high in sodium, celery should be consumed regularly.

Moreover, for people who are busy all day, celery is especially recommended for its nerve stabilizing and fatigue recovery effects. Due to its strong smell, some might have trouble eating it solely. Combining celery with pineapples will take care of the strong smell and make the juice sweeter than ever.
