Benefits
WHITE PEACH
White peaches (not yellow peaches!) are rich in iodine and so support thyroid function, boosting metabolism.
AVOCADO
A true and real anti-aging fruit due to its richness in monounsaturated fat (the good one), Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Glutathione, and lutein, all indispensable for skin health and glow. This fruit is also rich in potassium (more than a banana!), an essential mineral for bodily fluid balance and so it helps eliminate water retention.
JALAPEÑO & LEMON JUICE
They both have a potent anti-inflammatory action and favor digestion. Through their properties, they support metabolic processes and strengthen gastrointestinal immunity.
RED PEPPER
This veggie is packed with vitamin C, one of the most potent antioxidants in nature. Red pepper will boost the body’s antioxidant defenses, helping against inflammation (and remember that cellulite and acne are both forms of inflammation).
