Healthy Citrus Recipe

All citrus fruit falls under the category of what is known as acid fruit. The acid fruits are the most detoxifying fruits you can buy/eat, and excellent foods for health.

Although they truly are very good for you, when you have a bug like the flu, you should avoid citrus fruits because the body could overreact detoxifying and make you even more sick.

Some people might have mild digestive problems with these fruits because of the acid content. However, the acid is a healthy and organic nutritional element. For instance: ascorbic acid is vitamin c, found most abundantly in fruits and vegetables.

Other people have one type of fruit that irritates the body or that they just don't care for. This can be caused by an allergic reaction - it's important for you to determine if any reaction you may have to any fruit is allergic.

Some irritations can actually be linked to lactose intolerance. Stories are known of people who's stomach irritation for freshly squeezed orange juice disappeared after cutting down strongly on cow milk products. Many people find relief from these symptoms with the use of acidophilus.
