JUICES


Apple:
Known as an excellent liver and kidney cleanser, apple juice will settle your stomach if you've been overdosing on rich food. Contains iron, vitamins C, B1, B2 and B6.

Grapefruit:
Best as a refreshing breakfast juice, grapefruit is high in vitamin C and cleansing citric acid. Don't discard the pith of fresh grapefruits as it is rich in bioflavonoids - nutrients which help with the absorption of vitamin C.

Lemon:
Drinking lemon juice diluted in water first thing in morning helps cleans and tone the digestive system ready for the day ahead. It's a concentrated source of vitamin C, but you may want to add a little honey to reduce the tart taste.

Orange:
Like grapefruit and lemon juice, orange juice is an efficient cleanser of the digestive system because of its high citric acid content. It's rich in vitamin C and beta carotene (the vegetarian source of vitamin A), plus a wide range of minerals including potassium, phosphorus and zinc.

Pineapple:
Pineapple juice is an underrated storehouse of nutrients. Rich in vitamin C and folic acid ( essential for all pregnant women), it also contains a useful enzyme called bromelin which can help neutralise indigestion caused by an over-acidic tummy.

With any thing consume in moderate amount is best.
