Promotes Digestion
Rhubarb juice is rich in dietary fiber, which is essential for promoting digestion. The high levels of pectin in rhubarb help to bind together stool and speed up transit time through the intestines.
It also contains anthraquinone – a compound which has laxative effects and can help to relieve constipation. For best results, drink one cup of juice each day on an empty stomach or before meals. You can also add a bit of honey or lemon juice to taste if you find the tartness of rhubarb juice too strong.
Has anti aging properties
Rhubarb juice has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat a variety of ailments. Research has shown that it may also have anti-aging properties.
In a study, researchers found that rhubarb juice was effective in reducing the oxidative stress that leads to aging. The study’s authors believe that the antioxidants present in juice are responsible for its anti-aging effects.
While detailed research is needed to confirm the anti-aging effects of rhubarb juice, this preliminary research suggests that drinking this delicious juice may help you stay young and healthy. So, add a little rhubarb juice to your diet and enjoy the benefits!
