Why I Drink Grapefruit Juice?

Because I've already already wrote about my grapefruit juice diet, and about my weight loss with juicing program, I decide to write also about why I drink grapefruit juice and what are other benefits of it.

Grapefruit juice is nothing but just a fruit juice, extracted out of grapefruit. Vitamin C content in the grapefruit is considerably high and that is why it is one of the most popular fruits of all time. Although grapefruits resemble oranges, they are actually larger in size and are the youngest member of the citrus family. The reason behind this is that grapefruits are cross breeds of oranges and pomelo.




Grapefruit doesn't only contain vitamin C which is commonly known to be protective against cold or flu. It is not just one nutrient that helps prevent a certain disease, but rather the combination of several ingredients in it that does the trick. This is the kind of nutritional power that we can find only in the way God makes our natural food.

This juicy fruit contains citric acid, natural sugars, and essential oils like limonene, pinene and citral. It has high amounts of vitamin C, and smaller amounts of vitamin A, B complex, E and K.


Grapefruit Juice Health

a. An 8-ounce glass of 100% grapefruit juice gives you 100% of the antioxidant Vitamin C.
b. Each glass of 100% grapefruit juice gives your body a full serving of fruit with no added sugar.
c. White grapefruit juice is naturally lower in calories than other traditional juices.


Benefits of Grapefruit Juice

1. Weight Loss
Weight loss has been one amongst the many grapefruit juice health benefits. Grapefruit contains fat burning enzymes which contribute to weight loss by reducing sugar and starch in the body. Moreover, weight loss occurs as it reduces the levels of fatigue and energizes you to do a lot of physical activities.


2. Cholesterol Levels
Especially the juices extracted from the red grapefruit have been observed to prevent heart disorders and diseases. Moreover, it has also been found to reduce the cholesterol levels in many patients.

3. Breast Cancer
Another benefit includes breast cancer treatment, which is one of the most serious diseases in the modern world. With the help of bioflavonoids content stops the spread of cancer cells in breast cancer patients, by flushing out excess quantities of estrogen. However, research in this area is still in progress as there have been contradictions found to this point.

4. Pregnancy
Vitamin C content and the bioflavonoids present in the grapefruit help in lowering the rate of water retention and also swelling of legs which is a common occurrence during pregnancy.

5. Insomnia
A glass of juice, before going to bed is found to be beneficial in curing insomnia and promote sound sleep to a large extent.

6. Sore Throat
Vitamin C has been an all time popular cure-all to get rid of sore throat. A Fresh juice has proved beneficial to cure sore throat and even soothe cough.

7. Fatigue
Vitamin C does it all! You can have a juice of grapefruits with lemon juice coupled with some honey into it and you will find yourself refreshed after a tiring day's work.

8. Diabetes
It is also beneficial for diabetes treatment. Regular consumption of grapefruit juice helps in decreasing the starch and sweet content in your body and thus contributes towards diabetes control.

In conclusion I recommend drink that glass of juice made of fresh grapefruits per day and you will see how well you will feel. Any way this juice isn't a miracle, so you still have to eat healthy and make sport every day.

What exercise is best for weight loss?

We all know the importance of sport for any person who what to be healthy, in good shape and to lose weight. So what exercise is best for weight loss? Next I’ll tell you which sports I’m currently using to keep me in good shape. Combined with a daily diet you won’t have to worry: you will lose weight and you will feel great with your body.

Some of the sports I’m practicing for losing weight have no costs and for the others I have to invest some money, but you can have all for free. Any way the summer is here and I want to be in good shape and look very well in my swim suit.






1. Step Aerobics
Step aerobics is a distinguished from other forms of aerobic exercise by its use of an elevated platform (the step). The height can be tailored to individual needs by inserting risers under the step. It acts mainly for legs, thighs and bottom. Step aerobics exercises help me burn calories and the amount of calories burned depends on the speed of movements, step height, and length of exercise time. It also provides endurance training, which helps maintain the health of my cardiovascular system.



2. Running
Each morning when I wake up I either do aerobic workout or I go running. I have a park near my place with a big lake in the middle and I usually I make one tour around the lake before going back to prepare to go to work. The main benefits of running for me are: weight loss, improved cardiovascular health, improved bone health, improved mood and better coordination.



3. Cycling
My husband love cycling. He bought us (me and my 2 boys) 3 bicycles and almost each week-end we try to escape from the city and go on parks on country roads to ride our bikes. Depending on how quick I pedal as many calories I burn!



4. Swimming
My oldest son (5 years old) loves swimming. It’s like he was born in the water. Because of this I decide to go to him on swimming courses. Swimming workout is so good because you will make use of each and every part of body, as this exercise will be done by all parts of your body. That’s why it is named as one type of aerobic exercise which will strengthen your muscles.



5. Tennis.
I’m not a very good tennis player, but I have a friend who was a junior professional player. We loved to meet each other, play some tennis and talk about one and other. Tennis exercises take care of everything. It requires Quickness and agility to get to the ball, core strength to get power into your shots, stamina to be able to play for a couple of sets and mental toughness to stay one step ahead of your opponent. All that while having fun, working off stress and energizing your spirits.

My Grapefruit Juice Diet, Healthy Weight Loss with Juicing

I’ve lost 22 pounds in one month eating healthy, using a grapefruit juice diet so I want to tell you more about weight loss with juicing program.


As I've already told you I’m a female, 31 years old. I have two wonderfull kids. They are the sun of my days…but ofcourse, after 2 pregnancies I remaid with 22 pounds extra.






So I decided to solve this problem and regain my feminity. I’ve tried a lot of diets but…unfortunatly none of them succeded because I can not be so strict about all that I eat. I like goodies and it is not easy for me not eat them. I checked out on internet some diets but they were strictly so one day I’ve heard about grapefruit juice. It is a miracle. The diet I’ve found was more strictly than the one I’ve created for my own necessities. The key of this diet is that you have to drink before each meal an grapefruit juice made by one grapefruit. Also, an important thing is to have only 3 meals per day and not to eat between them. This is very important.

In the original diet you loose 8 pounds in a week and sounds like this:

It is forbeden to eat: potatoes, beans, peas, onion, carrots, cabbage, celery, cheese.
  • Breakfast:
- Grapefruit juice (natural one, not the one from the bottles, sugar added)
- 2 egs (cooked in which way you want);
- 2 slice of bacon;
- One decaff coffee (no sugar added and no milk);
- Grapefruit juice;
- Meat (chicken meat, pork or beef) cooked however you want and you can eat how many you want;
- Fresh vegetables (how many you want)
  • Dinner:
- Grapefruit juice;
- Meat (chicken meat, pork or beef) cooked however you want and you can eat how many you want;
- Cooked vegetables and fresh vegetables (how many you want)

Before sleeping you can drink a glass of milk or tomato juice, but fresh one without sugar added.

Also, you have to drink 2 litres of water.

This is the original one, but because as I’ve told you I am a little bit greedy, I must say that I didn’t respect strictly this diet and beyond this I’ve had some remarkable results.

I wish you good luck and hope you will have the same results. Check this link for other information related to grapefruit juice diet.
