Our list of favorite juices is growing...this time, from the ground.

We love our fruit juice, but we're starting to think there's more out there for us. Recently, friends have been telling us that the new vegetable juices might be exactly what we need.

Here's when to consider playing the "field:"

Your stomach's doing flips: Sauerkraut. Surprise--fermented cabbage is a probiotic! That's why sauerkraut juice is rich in healthy bacteria and enzymes that regulate digestion.

You're craving more: Celery. Besides being a nourishing hydrator, celery juice is known for its ability to curb cravings. Add a drop of honey to your glass when you're jonesing for sweets.

Your heart needs mending: Beets. When it comes to matters of the heart, studies have shown that a beeting will do you good; the juice from these veggies fights disease with root force.

You want to feel younger: Purple carrot Thanks to its anthocyanins (powerful antioxidants), purple carrot juice has a unique weapon in fighting age-related diseases.

PS--If you're feeling "backed up," look out here for the debut of raw potato juice, thought to give digestive...err, relief.
