What are the characteristics of these fruits?

The pineappleis ideal for the aroma water because it contains numerous vital substances. This tropical fruit already meets our vitamin C requirements with a portion. But it also contains important minerals and trace elements. These include calcium, iron, potassium, copper and manganese. The protein-splitting enzyme bromelain is responsible for the digestive effect. According to numerous studies, natural digestive enzymes contribute to an improvement of numerous diseases, such as cancer and stomach and intestinal problems. Bromelain has a great anti-inflammatory effect. Pineapple is a popular remedy for scurvy, bladder and kidney problems, venous diseases and sore throats in many indigenous peoples. In some indigenous peoples this fruit was also successfully used for the treatment of parasites, gonorrhea and scarlet fever. Pineapple has long been known for its excellent suitability for detoxification, as fresh juice or vitamin water with pineapple helps to wash away the existing slag from the organism. Depending on the variety, this fruit can contain up to 15 percent fructose and around 8 percent citric acid. If you have a sensitive stomach or liver problems, you should choose ripe pineapple because it contains less acid.

Appleshave also long been known for their healing properties. This fruit contains many antioxidants which, like pineapple, have an anti-inflammatory effect. Vitamin water with apple slices is therefore also interesting for people who are not necessarily enthusiastic about this fruit. Apples are ideal for cleansing the liver and intestines, they have a positive effect on our brain when losing weight, and also have a preventive effect with regard to cancer. The secondary plant substances contained in apples play an important role in our health - they are also known as phytamins. By the way, this fruit also strengthens lung function due to its high flavonoid content, which makes it ideal as a supplement for respiratory problems. With apples you can produce tasty and really very healthy vitamin water. It is very advisable to use the shell as well, as it contains the most important ingredients. When shopping, you should not only look at the shiny skin, as matt apples are usually not only fresher, but also much more tasty.

Berriesare 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.

Pomegranatescontain 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 grapefruitis 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.
