Water is a transparent fluid which forms the world’s streams, lakes, oceans and rain, and is the major constituent of the fluids of living things. Water is essential for human health, but the proper source and amount varies from person to person and within a person over time. All human cells and systems require water, so it’s essential to keep hydrated.
Spinach: it’s not just for Popeye! Spinach is an edible flowering plant in the family of Amaranthaceae. It contains high amounts of Vitamin A and Vitamin C and – like all dark, leafy greens – is very cleansing to the liver.
Cucumber is a widely cultivated plant in the gourd family Cucurbitaceae. It is a creeping vine that bears cylindrical fruits that are used as culinary vegetables. There are three main varieties of cucumber: slicing, pickling, and burpless. Cucumbers are a cooling, moisturizing food. They are high in Vitamin K, molybdenum, and pantothenic acid. Cucumbers contain lignans associated with a reduction in cancer and cardiovascular disease.
The pear is any of several tree and shrub species of genus Pyrus, in the family Rosaceae. It is also the name of the pomaceous fruit of these trees. Much of the nutrition in pears is concentrated near the skin, so it is important to eat them whole. Pears are high in fiber, and in moisture – making them great for juicing or blending. Pears contain lots of copper, vitamin C, and vitamin K. Pears contain unique polyphenols and bioflavonoids which makes them powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support. Eating pears decreases risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer.
The lemon is a small evergreen tree native to Asia. The juice, pulp, and skin of the fruit are all used in cooking around the world. Though lemons have an acidic, tart taste – they are one of the strongest alkaline-forming foods. Lemon juice is a great way to help balance pH. Lemons are very high in Vitamin C and have a strong antioxidant and antibiotic effect.
Ginger or ginger root is the rhizome of the plant Zingiber officinale. In addition to ginger’s amazing warm flavor, it’s a strong anti-inflammatory and a great digestive tonic. Many people find relief of nausea using ginger – including that produced by morning sickness during pregnancy and by motion sickness.
