Drink Up!

Try drinking some delicious purple coloured juices this summer, instead of red wine.  Mix the juice with some bubbly water for a refreshing and healthy drink.  Consumption of purple and blue fruits has been associated with lowered risk of metabolic syndrome, a risk factor for heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes.  Try the following juices: Acai berry – lowers bad cholesterol; Wild Blueberry - very high in antioxidants that help improve memory and help fight aging, cancer and heart disease; Pomegranate – a heart healthy juice high in Vitamin C, A and E and contains antioxidants that may help prevent cholesterol build up in arteries; Cranberry juice - may help promote healthy cholesterol levels and prevent cancer.
