Kristen’s Juicy News…..
Finally, as summer draws near so too does lots of seasonal tropical fruit, giving way to endless options for
freshly squeezed juice. Nutritionist and health scientist Kristen Beck shares her top tips for choosing a juice to
boost your health.
Brain saver
Sluggish after summer celebrations and finding it tricky to get your brain ticking over? Try an orange juice,
which contains the highest amount of potassium among the five most popular Australian juices. Potassium is
an important vitamin for a strong nervous system and maintaining good brain function.
Strong bones
Grapefruit and grape juices have a high amount of calcium which is necessary for strong bones and teeth, and
plays an important role in blood clotting, muscle contraction and normal nervous system function. It’s a
perfect traditional breakfast option with your morning cereal.
Glowing skin
Too much partying in the silly season can cause breakouts and tired looking skin. Orange juice has a very high
amount of Beta-carotene, compared to other popular juices, which converts into a form of vitamin A, known
to help with healthy skin and fight infections. A summer fruit punch by the pool with plenty of rockmelon and
apricots, which are also high in vitamin A, is the perfect summer skin treat.
Immune booster
Both pineapple and orange juice are great pick-me-ups, high in folate, which is a complex vitamin also found
naturally in a lot of leafy vegetables. Folate is important for cell division and growth and has been associated
with good health and reducing certain cancers. For an immune system boost, combine a summer pineapple
juice with a fresh chicken and avocado salad. Avocado is also high in folate.
