Good recipes to try

recipe one...

• 2 peaches
• 2 apricots
• 1/2 cup of green grapes
• a quarter head of fennel

recipe two...

• 10 spears of asparagus
• 1 apple
• 1 stalk of broccoli
• 2 carrots

recipe three...

Straight watermelon juice. The rind can be juiced too, however, it is hard on most juicers.

Watermelon is a fantastic kidney cleanser and diuretic. If you have kidney problems it's not a bad idea to make this part of your daily eating and juicing routine. If you feel kidney pain, this should help nip the problem in the bud.

recipe four...

For a well rounded recipe, kidney and bladder troubles respond well to this combination:

• 1-2 cucumbers
• 5 carrots
• small handful of dandelion greens and parsley
• add a wedge of watermelon if you have it

If your problem is severe, double this recipe and drink it slow, giving it some time to digest.
