Red juices are excellent for health because of their antioxidant properties which contain lycopene and anthocyanins – natural chemical substances, responsible for giving the red color of fruits and vegetables. Both nutrients complement each other to give us health benefits, such as improving circulation, increasing libido, preventing asthma, cataracts, aging and especially preventing cancer – from prostate, breast, lung, bladder, ovaries, colon and pancreas. It also prevents infection with the human papilloma virus (HPV) that causes most cases of uterine cancer.
Some red fruits and vegetables with such antioxidant and alkalizing properties are beets, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, tomatoes, watermelon, etc.
