Super Apple Health Drink


Sometimes we need a kick start to bring our health back on track. If you suffer from any degenerative diseases, any of the syndromes, or any of the inflammatory diseases, try this recipe.  I would love to hear your feedback.

ALL ingredients include skin and cores.

BASE INGREDIENTS
  • Enough Fuji apples to fill 1 litre after the other ingredients have been juiced
  • 1/2 lemon with pith and peel (all round healing and anti-inflammatory pain control)
  • decent sized knob of fresh turmeric root (all round healing and anti-inflammatory pain control)
  • decent sized knob of fresh ginger root (all round healing and anti-inflammatory pain control)
  • 1/2 large or one small beetroot (liver tonic)


OPTIONAL EXTRAS
  • 1/2 large or one small purple carrot (anthocyanins to kill cancer and parasites, carotenes for sun protection and eye health)
  • 1 whole cucumber (immediate reduction in blood pressure)

The lemon, apart from being a potent healer, changes the flavour of some vegetables so that they taste like a fruit. If you dislike vegetables use the recipe above and add apple and lemon until you get a fruit flavour you like.

You can add all sorts of other vegetables and fruits to this mix.  The flavour of brassica vegetables, asparagus and celery cannot be concealed.  Use them sparingly until you work out how much of their taste you like in your juice.

The Fujis contain interesting additional stem cells not found in other apples, and so may have additional health and anti-ageing benefits. Asian producers seem to pick them at this purplish pink/greyish green colour which is by far the best eating. Australian producers seem to leave them on the trees longer until they reach a darker red colour, but by that stage they start to get tough.
