Increasing defenses is essential to live in good health and have a good quality of life. We can also do this naturally, with the help of foods and supplements with medicinal properties.

The power of citrus

The lemon

Lemon is one of the quintessential citrus fruits. Although it is a fruit, we can add its juice to any dish without the risk of incompatibility. Before, during and after meals alone or included in a recipe, the  lemon enhances the taste, enhances the art properties and facilitates the absorption of nutrients.  

This citrus fruit is therefore a  powerful natural antibiotic which fights all kinds of pathogens. It further balances the body’s pH and improves liver function, which is essential for health.

Orange

Orange is  one of the best fruits to bring us vitality and improve our mood. It is also recommended to avoid consuming it in the evening because it is too energizing. It is also one of the fruits that we eat the most when the cold arrives.

Thanks to its richness in vitamin C, beta-carotenes and flavonoids, this citrus fruit is a powerful antioxidant. Orange is therefore not only effective in increasing defenses, but also in preventing premature aging.

Grapefruit

Grapefruit is one of the best fruits for purifying the body of accumulated toxins. In this sense, grapefruit promotes liver and gallbladder function while  eliminating excess fluid thanks to its diuretic power  .

Given its detoxifying properties, most weight loss diets include this fruit among their favorite foods. This function is essential in the face of any disease, so that the immune system is as strong as possible.
