Here’s a juice to help boost your iron levels the natural way! See my article on this topic posted on Oct 18 2011.

• 1 pink grapefruit
• 2 oranges
• 1 apple
• 2 beetroot
• ½ lime

Put all in a juicer or smoothie maker, blend all together and enjoy!

Now here’s how these ingredients will help boost your iron levels:

Pink grapefruit contain lycopene – the antioxidant found in tomatoes and some other red fruits like watermelon which neutralize free radicals in the body and help in the fight against the formation of cancer cells. Grapefruits reduce bad cholesterol, keeping arteries clean and lower insulin in the body which helps prevent weight gain.

Beetroot are a very good source of calcium, iron, Vitamins A and C and are an excellent source of folic acid. They are a very good for cleaning the bloodstream and cleansing the liver and kidneys. Also nature’s blood builder and strengthens the immune system.

Apple juice helps soothe the intestines and reduce constipation. It helps clean out harmful bacteria and parasites in the digestive tract. Apples contain vitamins A, B1, B2 and C, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and iron. The pectin in apples forms a gel in the intestine that eliminates toxins.

Lime is high in vitamin C, they will support your liver, improve your absorption of minerals, promote weight loss, cleanse your blood, and alleviate indigestion.

Oranges are also high in vitamin C and help destroy free radicals that cause signs of aging. They also scour the intestines and flush toxins from the body.
