Kordich, author of “El poder de los zumos” was
able to get over a life-threatening illness merely by taking a daily dose of
fruit and raw vegetables.
The book,
published by Emecé and available in public libraries, details hundreds of
recipes concerning vegetables and fruits best suited to combating different
health situation. However, it advises that it is better not to mix vegetables and fruits, except for apples and carrots, which can be blended with any ingredients.
He particularly recommends the consumption of strawberries to cleanse the body of toxins and overcome the effects of pollution. Furthermore, the author adds that citrus fruits, such as oranges,
lemon and grapefruit are a marvellous source of vitamin C, which has to be
replenished daily, because the body doesn’t retain it.
On the
other hand, some vegetables such as celery can be mixed with apple and carrots to fight against the effects of
migraines. For those who find the taste of different raw vegetables too strong,
he suggests adding a quarter of a litre of water until you get used to the
flavour.
Diabetics should follow medical recommendations, but for those who are able to take good daily doses, drinking freshly pressed juices each day is a reliable way of providing the body with a wide variety of vitamins and minerals to protect human cells against diseases and premature aging!
