Grapefruit Juice

All grapefruits have a similar tangy-sweet flavor and are very juicy.  However, the pink or red variety contains more vitamins and nutrients than the white variety.  You can make grapefruit juice easily.  So, replacing your soda with grapefruit juice will provide you with many of the vital nutrients and anti-oxidant properties your body needs.  Additionally, it will also help you lose weight.  If you find plain grapefruit juice too dull, you may try these grapefruit juice recipes:

• Grapefruit, Orange and Kiwi Juice
   

• Grapefruit, Blueberry and Apple Juice
   

• Grapefruit, Pineapple and Apple Juice

When making grapefruit juice, make sure that you leave the white pith on when you peel the grapefruits skin as the pith contains bioflavonoid. These bioflavonoids can help the body to absorb vitamin C.  To get the most antioxidant out of grapefruit, choose fully ripened grapefruit to make your grapefruit juice.  Research conducted by University of Innsbruck in Austria suggests that as fruits fully ripen, their antioxidants levels actually increases.

However, since grapefruit is known to have major effects on potency of various medication, you should consult your doctor before you start consuming large amount of it.
