Posted: September 23rd, 2015

The next time you're out at a day spa, after your massage, why not enjoy the benefits of fruit juicing? Going to a spa is excellent for the outside of your body, while fruit juicing is like a spa for the inside of your body.       

Below are the 10 healthiest fruits for juicing:

 

1. Pomegranate - Rated number one amongst all fruits in its levels of antioxidants, this dark red juice is packed with flavor.
2. Apple - There are dozens of kinds of different apples, and the juice from these delicious tree fruits contains polyphenols, a special kind of antioxidant.
3. Cranberry - These super tart berries make for an outstanding juice that is great for infections and minor illnesses.
4. Grape (Red) - These dark-colored clusters of goodness are loaded with reservatrol, a substance that has been shown to help stave off cancer and other sicknesses.
5. Grapefruit - The larger, more tart cousin of the orange, grapefruits contain both lycopene and beta-carotene, important antioxidants.
6. Pineapple - Few other fruits on the planet have such elevated levels of vitamin B6, as well as essential minerals like potassium and chromium.
7. Tomato - While some people consider it a vegetable, tomatoes are actually fruit, and the juice from these round, red globes of goodness has lots of beta-carotene, lycopene and other powerful antioxidants.
8. Papaya - Chymopapain, an enzyme found only in papaya, is a world class anti-inflammatory agent.
9. Orange - There's a world of difference between fresh-squeezed OJ and reconstituted from frozen OJ, as fresh orange juice is bursting with Vitamin C, antioxidants, and other outstanding nutrients.
10. Cherry - These little fruits have high levels of anthocyanins, a special enzyme that can drastically reduce inflammation.
