LEMON
Lemons are an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin B6, Folic acid and potassium. They contain a Phytochemical called Lemonene which has anti cancer properties and is also known to dissolve gallstones.

The highest concentraton of Lemonene is found in the white fleshy part just under the yellow skin. So I suggest that you slice it in to thin slices and eat it with its skin on or use in cooking or use with drinks to add a refereshing zest.

My children have both picked up the habit of eating lemon with its skin just like me. It may take a few goes before you get used to it.




MANGO


A super fruit due to the vast numbers of vitamins and nutrients it contains.

The main vitamins provided by Mango are vitamins A, E and C and it aids in preventing prostate and skin cancer.

Rich in beta-carotene which gives it its colour, it helps to fight the damage caused by the sun to the skin and eyes.


BLUEBERRY


Blueberry has the highest content of antioxidants out of all the other fruits. It is anti inflammatory, anti blood clotting and anti bacterial.

It is also anti aging. I eat a box full every day!

A great fruit to help with symptoms of diarrhoea and food poisoning.

Experiments have also shown that it helps alleviate the effects of Alzheimer’s.
