The onion in this juice contains sulfur compounds, which help to lower serum cholesterol and tryglyceride levels. By doing so, they help to prevent hardening of the arteries.

Parsley and celery are high in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and iron. It is this mineral-rich composition that helps to prevent cholesterol build up on the artery walls of the heart.

Cayenne and ginger make the red blood cells less sticky and assist the colon in eliminating greater amounts of excess cholesterol. They also substantially increase the circulation of blood throughout the body.
