Juices for Thought! (For information)

Last month, attended a course on taking care of our health being and one of the topics was on making fruit juices/drinks.
Here are some recommended juice recipes which I am more interested in taking note of:

After juicing the ingredients, add in 1 cup hot water with 1 tbsp honey

Equal quantities of spinach & beetroot, or carrot & spinach, or carrot & lettuce, or cabbage & tomato, or pineapple and grapefruit, or
