Summer is approaching and here is a healthy way to beat the heat. Plantain stem juice is not only very tasty and refreshing, but also very healthy. Plantain stem has many health benefits. It is a rich source of dietary fiber.Because of its high fiber content, it helps to prevent constipation. It is said to be very helpful in case of urinary problems, kidney stones, acidity and ulcer. It also helps in weight reduction. I personally do not like aerated drinks and prefer only natural healthy drinks like buttermilk, tender coconut water, fresh juice etc. Plantain stem juice is one of my favorite drink.
