Pink Grapefruit

Pink Grapefruit makes your juice deliciously creamy and a bit tart.

Just half a grapefruit provides 100% of your daily requirement of vitamin C. This is an essential anti-oxidant which can assist in fighting the cell damage that could eventually lead to diseases such as heart disease and cancer. It helps support tissue repair which aids in the healing of wounds and keeps your skin healthy. Vitamin C also helps increase iron absorption so it is a great vitamin to have with iron rich foods like spinach. Studies have shown grapefruit helps reduce cholesterol and contains spermidine, which has been found to help human immune cells live longer.

Vitamin C is important for body growth and is especially important for growing children. It has also proven to dramatically reduce blood lead levels. Research has shown that children living in urban areas with lots of lead toxicity have more behavioural and developmental problems, so maybe instead of milk, they should start giving them fresh juices at school!
