Go Ga Ga for Grapefruit!
Aside from being the American Heart Month, apparently, it’s also the American National Grapefruit Month. Fresh grapefruit and grapefruit juice are high in Vitamin C, which acts as antioxidants and boosts the health of your skin, immune system, heart, and has also been linked to reduced cancer risks.

I looove ruby red grapefruit. No need for sweetener, either. :)
(I’m a sugar-holic, so for me to say that is really incredible.)

Grapefruits are powerful and we may be careful not taking them everyday, as they can be seen as a vaccine to some infection.
For myself I think 2 grapefruits a week may be good.
