The reason we get sick is: our bodies are exposed to substances, in food, in the air and in the environment around us that pollute us internally and weaken our immune system. When the immune system is weak it is easy for unwanted bacteria to start deteriorating our health slowly but surely. The water content in the cucumber combined with the minerals and nutrients cleans the body to remove these unwanted toxins.

The combination of lemon, orange and ginger is one of the best natural cold and flu remedies. The vitamin C contained in oranges and lemons provide antioxidants which removes the toxins that cause common illnesses. Ginger, on the other hand, warms up the body. On cold days it is a good way to keep warm.
