Some foods have the ability to cleanse, or tonify, or detoxify. Some foods support various systems such as the kidneys, liver, heart and immune system.

If you eat a food that is good for one part of your body, it will more than likely have a positive effect on another part of your body.

Most of the foods that work wonders on your body and skin are of the fruit and vegetable variety. They are made up of a lot of water. But this is not ordinary water.

The natural water contained in fruit and vegetables is full of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and enzymes.

The more natural enzymes you consume, the better you will feel, the better your skin will heal and the younger and healthier you will look.

Try making at least 50 per cent of your daily foods up of organic fruit or vegetables.
