2 How to prepare juice from potatoes

It is well-known that heat treatment of food products reduces their useful properties, but potatoes in natural raw form are difficult for digestion. However, drinking potato juice, squeezed from a raw root, is much nicer than eating raw potatoes. Assimilation of nutrients of the product, consumed in the form of juice, significantly increases.

Therefore, treatment with potato juice is a simpler and more pleasant procedure. You can squeeze the juice with a juicer, and can be hand-made. A large oblong root of red or pink potatoes( in it the amount of minerals and vitamins is greater) is grated on a fine grater, then, using gauze, squeeze out the juice from the potato.

It is better to prepare a healing drink from tubers stored less than half a year after excavation, because in the stale roots accumulates toxic substance solanine, which possesses toxic properties.

The freshly squeezed drink should be consumed immediately after preparation, since the useful properties of the product are only 10 minutes after the squeeze. But it must be done carefully, as the remedy destroys the tooth enamel. In connection with this fact, the question arises as to how to drink potato juice, so that this does not happen. Dentists recommend using a tube for this.
