ADVICE FROM OUR DIETICIANS
Benefits: all lettuce varieties (except
for the Iceberg) contain high levels of
vitamin K, which promotes blood
coagulation.
Lychee
Choose lychees with pink or red husks.
Tinned lychees are easy to find, but the
flavour of fresh fruit is vastly superior.
Remove the husks and stones before
processing in the juicer or
Smoothie
m
ix
.
Benefits: a sweet fruit with quite a high
calorie content. The husk efficiently
protects the vitamins (C and
B-complex) and minerals it contains.
Mango, Papaya
The flesh of a ripe mango
or papaya should be soft to
touch. Peel the fruit and
remove their stones or seeds. If
using the juicer attachment, you may
need to follow a mango or a papaya
with juicier fruits to dilute the
pulp. The less flavoursome papaya
particularly benefits from being
combined with other ingredients.
Benefits: Mango: one of the richest
fruits in provitamin A, which is
good for the skin and the mucous
membranes.
Papaya: contains papaine, which
aids protein digestion.
Melon, Watermelon
Choose a heavy melon without any
blemishes. You should be able to pull
the stalk away slightly. A watermelon’s
skin should be hard and smooth.
Scoop out the seeds (of the melon)
and remove the skin.
Benefits: Melon: whatever its colour,
the melon is a major source of
vitamin C, providing 1/3 of the
recommended daily intake. Its very
fragrant juice goes well with acidic
fruits. Do not drink the juice chilled,
as this accentuates its laxative effect.
Watermelon: very low in calories,
watermelon juice has excellent
depurative properties and is a
natural appetite stimulant.
Parsley
Choose dark green leaves. On its
own, parsley juice is quite strong-
tasting and is best combined with
other juices. Always process the
leaves (washed and drained) in the
juicer before any other vegetables.
Benefits: parsley juice is useful for
combating anaemia. It is a tonic and
a stimulant.
