The Ruby Grapefruit

The Lemon The Red Grape
One Half About 10 (But 11 wont kill you)
  1. Vitamin C. A whole grapefruit contains more than your RDA of Vitamin C which means you’ll have a great excuse not to catch a cold this winter

  2. Fiber – These beautiful fruits are full of fiber and low in calories so make an excellent snack

  3. Lycopene –Aside from just giving the grapefruit it’s color. Lycopene may help against developing certain cancer’s, especially prostate

  1. Digestive aid- Although small. These brightly coloured fruits can certainly brighten your day and your body from the inside out, lemons are believed to stimulate the liver and clear the digestive system helping flush out all those nasty toxins you may have accumulated and is a great way to start the day. Hot water and lemon. Try it for a week and feel the difference

  2. Glow -when those toxins are flushed out by your liver, it’s not just the inside of your body that will benefit. You will start to notice your skin looking cleaner and brighter too

  3. Alkalize – . Think of your body as an environment. If your body is too acidic, this is the kind of environment that encourages abnormal cells such as cancer". Although you may think otherwise. Lemon’s when ingested actually have an alkalizing effect on your body which is very important so that you are giving your body the best chance

 

  1. Allergies – Come season those pesky allergies can be a nuisance so stocking up on grapes the flavonoid quercetin could help you from being the one who sneezes in the  middle of a movie as it has an antihistamine effect

  2. Wine – The French could have been onto something all this time. The rates of heart disease in France are much lower than in other countries and grapes (wine) are thought  to be the reason behind this due to the flavonoid resveratrol .

  3. Youth – That’s right, including grapes in your diet may actually keep you looking younger as it is thought that Resveratrol may have this effect

The Nectarine Blend Et Voila
One    
  1. Light and Lovely –The juice from a nectarine was actually considered the drink of the gods.  A medium size nectarine is roughly about 62 calories. Not bad for something so tasty

  2. Color – That bright and gorgeous colour of a nectarine comes from Beta -Carotene, an antioxidant which your body then coverts into Vitamin A something that we need in order to maintain healthy bones

  3. Blood Pressure -  A medium sized nectarine contains about 285mg of potassium which will help counterbalance the effect  of sodium that you eat and may help in reducing blood pressure levels. A natural healthy way to help you out after those stressful meetings
