Berries are known to be optimal for losing weight because they contain only a few calories compared to other fruits. Berries include blackberries, strawberries, goji berries, currants, blueberries, cranberries and gooseberries. They are really extraordinary for our health, as they also help us to stay young much longer. They have a strong antioxidant effect, strengthen our immune system and prevent infections. Berries contain a lot of vitamin C, iron, folic acid, potassium, calcium and magnesium. They are ideal for skin problems and help to keep our blood and organs clean. Berries are also good natural laxatives. They are also known for their antibacterial effect. Apart from that, the different types of berries also have other positive characteristics. Blueberries, for example, are recommended to support brain functions. Raspberries contain many important vitamins B and help with menstrual problems. Goji berries increase energy and help with prostate problems. So berries are really good and colourful vitamin bombs, which, as homemade aroma water, become more than just a great visual eye-catcher, because they also taste really tasty.
Pomegranates contain many vitamins and valuable minerals. They are also among the best-known medicinal fruits. They have a positive effect in the treatment of liver weakness, arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular problems. Pomegranates should also be a good remedy for brain performance. The bioactive ingredients, flavonoids and polyphenols, are very important for our body. They inhibit inflammation and help against oxidative stress. Pomegranates are very versatile. The fruity-sour aroma of juice or seeds can often be found in salads or sauces. For the vitamin water it is advisable to divide the pomegranate over a bowl in the middle and then dissolve the seeds with a spoon. It is advisable to put on a kitchen apron, as the stains from the juice are difficult to remove from your clothes. It is not absolutely necessary to peel the pomegranate for the aroma water, although of course you can also make a tea with the skin. The peel is boiled only briefly. Otherwise the halved fruit can be put into a suitable preserving jar with the skin and also with the seeds.
The grapefruit is a citrus fruit with a slightly bitter taste. It is ideal for a refreshing vitamin water with almost no calories and a lot of vitamin C. But also vitamin A, vitamin B, potassium, calcium and magnesium are available in larger quantities. The bitter substances contained in this fruit are able to stimulate digestion and fat burning and reduce cholesterol. The grapefruit has an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effect. It is also very beneficial for the skin, as this fruit can also be applied externally. Otherwise, its taste makes it ideal for homemade aroma water. If necessary, you can of course add some stevia if the vitamin water is too sour. However, grapefruit, consumed as fruit or juice, can also enhance the effect of some medications such as special heart medicines, painkillers or even antibiotics. Those who depend on regular medication should therefore only consume this fruit as vitamin water in order to exclude possible interactions.
Cherries are not only delicious, they are also very healthy. This fruit contains numerous vitamins, minerals and trace elements, including magnesium, zinc and folic acid. They protect us from oxidative stress, reduce inflammation and also the formation of blood clots, which is why frequent consumption of cherries can reduce the risk of heart attacks. Gout attacks and the risk of cancer can also be reduced by cherries. Cherries can also help us sleep better, as melatonin is contained in this fruit. This is a sleep-inducing hormone. Unfortunately, however, they are also perishable. The vitamin water with cherries should therefore not be kept in the refrigerator for longer than 48 hours. It is recommended to remove the stems and seeds so that they can develop their full effect in the water. A handful of cherries as aroma water, offer a fruity taste that can be varied with mint, cinnamon or other fruits. Cherries with mango, green grapes, oranges or also with kiwi, as vitamin water, taste delicious and are a very good incentive to drink a little more liquid, even for those who do not like drinking.
Kiwi contains mainly antioxidants and vitamin C, much more than lemons or oranges contain. The taste of this exotic fruit is comparable to strawberries with banana and pineapple. Otherwise the nutrient density of the kiwi is much higher than that of other fruit varieties. It contains vitamin B, vitamin E, vitamin K, beta carotene and potassium. But also important dietary fibres, acids and minerals are contained in this small fruit. Kiwis are inexpensive, tasty and above all have an advantageous effect for many diseases. They promote digestion, dilate the blood vessels, regulate high blood pressure and strengthen our immune system. Kiwis also protect us from oxidative stress and can therefore contribute to a longer and healthier life. It is therefore advisable to consider kiwis for vitamin water simply because of their numerous positive effects. They can be combined very well with lemons, strawberries, pineapple and also with mangos or papayas.
Mango is one of the most popular tropical fruits. The juicy-sweet flesh is now increasingly used in our food preparation. Although it contains relatively much sugar compared to other fruit varieties, it is very healthy. It contains mainly vitamin C, vitamins B, vitamin E as well as beta-carotene and folic acid. Mangos have a draining and laxative effect because they are very easily digestible. They stimulate our metabolism, strengthen our immune system, are positive for our eyes, regulate blood pressure, contribute to better wound healing and also ensure our mental fitness. This delicious fruit also has an excellent effect on the skin, as it protects against aging. You can therefore use your mango pieces used for the vitamin water as external skin care before disposal. When you buy a mango, make sure it is ripe. If black spots are visible on the skin, the fruit is already completely ripe and should therefore be eaten within 48 hours, otherwise it will begin to ferment. In addition, you can also base your selection on the sweet smell. If you want to buy mangoes in stock, please DO NOT keep them in the fridge. At least not if they are not yet properly ripe, as otherwise the taste is negatively affected by the cold.
Melons contain a lot of water and are excellent for the production of aroma water, as their taste is usually sweet and juicy. They also contribute very well to a better state of health, whether they are sugar melons, honeydew melons or watermelons. They are diuretic and laxative, strengthen our immune system and regulate high blood pressure. Melons are also able to neutralize acids. Since they have very few calories, they are also highly recommended for diets. Otherwise this fruit is also suitable against dehydration and headaches, arthritis, gout and rheumatism, as well as against obesity. Watermelons are also excellent for deacidifying and detoxifying our organism. It is clear that you can also lose a lot of weight. You can also mix watermelons for the vitamin water with some slices of cucumber, for example, to enhance the effect for a desired detoxification. However, we will discuss special detox recipes in more detail later.
