If you are trying to lose a little weight, then don’t forget the citrus fruits – they are a great way to burn fat! Fruits high in vitamin C help to burn off body fat so the fat can be easily flushed out of your body. Best sources of vitamin C citrus fruits are grapefruits, oranges, lemons and limes.

Citrus fruits do more than help lose weight, they also contain numerous vitamins, phytochemicals and flavonoids. Flavonoids protect blood vessels, decrease inflammation, and are strong antioxidants which help prevent cancer and heart disease. So, it’s not just for fat loss! Best way to get all the valuable nutrients from the inside out – juicing!

Drink citrus beverages all day long! If you choose hot beverages, make sure the water is not hot as it will destroy the Vitamin C. Keep it to just a little over room temperature.
