KNOWING GRAPE JUICE 3 of 4


The best energy booster comes from light or white grape fruit juices. (Dark grape juicess contain chemicals that actuall decrease the iron level in your system, so if you're anemic, pregnant or have chronic fatigue syndrome, best to stick to light.) Regular intake of grape juice strengthens the immune system from the powerful antioxidants, making you feel healthy and energized. The antioxidants found in grapes also fight heart disease, prevent Alzheimer's and decrease the signs of aging.

BE aware, when buying grape juice, read the nutritional facts label and compare sugar content. The high sugar content will give you that immediate "boost" and will inevitably wear off in as short as an hour, leaving you more sluggish and tired than usual (and this will totally defeat the purpose). Find one that has 100% natural ingredients (mostly in specialty health stores) or better yet, make your own.
