Benefits: citrus fruit are extremely
valuable for combating stress and
tiredness. Although they taste acidic,
they actually have a useful
alkalinizing effect in the system,
neutralizing the acid ash left by all
the meat we consume.
Coconut
Choose a coconut that is heavy for its
size and does not have any cracks.
Its “eyes” should be intact and above
all show no signs of mould. Begin by
piercing one of these eyes with a
knife and collect the coconut water in
a glass. Smash the coconut with a
hammer, remove the shell and break
the flesh into small pieces. There is no
need to remove the dark rind. Put the
pieces through the juicer to grate
them. Next, add the coconut water
and/or mineral water via the feed
tube to rinse the pulp and make
coconut milk. Keep the shredded
coconut for making cakes.
Benefits: about a third of coconut
flesh is fat, making it a good energy
source, unlike coconut water,
which only contains carbohydrates,
minerals and trace elements.
Cucumber
Choose very firm, dark green
cucumbers. Wash, but do not peel,
in order to retain as many vitamins
and minerals as possible. Very
thirst-quenching, cucumber juice is
quite watery and can be used to
tone down stronger tasting juices
(radish, pepper, etc.).
Benefits: low in calories, but rich
in minerals, especially potassium.
It contains not just vitamin C, but
also all the B-complex vitamins.
When taken on an empty stomach,
cucumber juice is reputed to have
depurative properties and to
stimulate the appetite.
Fennel
Choose firm, white bulbs with a few
plumes still attached. Wash and cut
into pieces. Its anise flavour goes
well with other juices (apple, orange,
etc.).
Benefits: fennel has a high concentration
of aromatic essential oils with
antispasmodic properties.
