Grapefruit Water

Beyond satisfying and refreshing, this drink is cooling for a hot, sluggish, stagnant liver and cleansing for a toxin-filled lymphatic system. Grapefruit water is hydrating for someone who feels they’re chronically dehydrated and they have thick, toxic, dirty blood. Drink grapefruit water if you have an overworked brain. It’s high in critically needed electrolytes and can enter the bloodstream and head to the brain within minutes of drinking it.

Grapefruit is packed with bioflavonoids and other disease-reversing nutrients and phytochemicals that reverse aging. It’s a powerful tool when dealing with bladder conditions, urinary tract infections, and pelvic inflammatory disease. And the fruit’s abundant vitamin C cleanses the system of the bacteria and other pathogens (such as C. difficile, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, E. coli, and the shingles virus) that are responsible for IBS, Crohn’s disease, colitis, and gastritis.
