However, one fresh glass of gedi juice, drunk in the morning, is also good for nervous depressions and fatigue. Gedi juice helps in the process of recovery of diseased organs, helps with duodenal ulcer, pernicious anemia, weakness, convulsions, deficiencies of the suprarenal glands or of the thyroid gland, low and high blood pressure, gum bleeding, limb inflammations, headaches, migraines, furunculosis, dental abscesses etc. To obtain the juice, gedi is placed in the meat chopping machine and afterwards the juice is collected.

Natural Benefits

The leaves of gedi are demulcent or soothing agents, refrigerent or collants, diuretic and milk laxative.

1. Constipation

Gedi juice cleans the digestive tract by removing the accumulated waste therefrom. It nourishes the intestines and tones up their movements. It is, therefore, an excellent food remedy for constipation.

2. Anaemia

This vegetable is a valuable source of high grade iron. After its absorption in the system, the formation of haemoglobin and red blood cells take place. It is thus highly beneficial building up the blood and in the prevention and treatment of anaemia.

3. Acidosis

Gedi is also a rich source of calcium and other alkaline elements which are essential for keeping the tissues clean and for preserving the alkalinity of the blood. It, therefore, helps prevent chronic diseases which thrive on the formation of too much acid in the system.

4. Night Blindness

The gedi is particularly rich in vitamin A. It contains more vitamin A than most other green vegetables. This vitamin promotes growth and health, specially the health of the eyes. Lack of this vitamin may lead to night blindness. Gedi is thus an effective food remedy for the prevention and treatment of night blindness.

5. Tooth Disorders

The gedi juice is effective in strengthening the gums and preventing and curing dental cavities. Chewing raw gedi leaves cures pyorrhoea. A mixture of carrot juice and gedi juice, taken early in the morning, can cure bleeding and ulcerated gums.

6. Pregnancy and Lactation

As the richest source of folic acid, gedi is a very valuable food during pregnancy and lactation. Megaloblastic anaemia of pregnancy occurs because the mother is deficient in folic acid. This deficiency of folic acid occurs as this substance is required for the developing foetus. Regular use of gedi during pregnancy will help prevent the deficiency of folic acid. It will also prevent threatened abortion and accidental haemorrhage, deficient absorption of food by small intestine associated with lassitude i.e. tiredness, shorness of breath, loss of weight and diarrhoea. Gedi is also good source of nutrition for nursing or lactating mothers and improves the quality of their milk.

7. Urinary Disorders

Fresh gedi juice taken with tender coconut water once or twice a day acts as a very effective but safe diuretic due to the combined action of both nitrates and pottasium. It can be safely given in cystitis, nephritis and scanty urination due to dehydration.

8. Respiratory Disorders

Infusion of fresh leaves of gedi prepared with two teaspoonful of fenugreek seeds mixed with a pinch of ammonium chloride and honey is an effective expectorant tonic during the treatment of bronchitis, tuberculosis, asthma and dry cough due to congestion in the throat. It sooths the bronchioles, liquifies the tenacious sputum and forms healthy tissues in the lungs and increase resistance against respiratory infections. It should be taken in doses of 30 ml. three times daily.

Delicious Antioxidant Drinks for healthy
Antioxidants are found in fruits and vegetables. Tea is another rich source of antioxidants. Besides these, antioxidants are conveniently found in drinks such as Purple.
When oxidation in our body is not within the optimum levels, it can create a lot of health related problems. Free radicals that damage the cells are produced due to oxidation. Antioxidants reduce the oxidation level in the body by breaking the chain reaction of the free radicals. If we do not consume adequate amount of fruits and vegetables we will not have enough antioxidants in our body and this may result in serious complications pertaining to health. For instance, we need antioxidants to prevent cholesterol from getting oxidized. Once cholesterol oxidizes, it settles as a coating on the walls of the blood vessels creating serious heart related problems.
When you consume drinks that are rich in antioxidants you will not only quench your thirst, you will also do a great service to your body by providing it with the necessary supply of free radical fighting antioxidants. When you consume Purple antioxidant drink, you will lower health related risks created by oxidants including heart diseases and neurological illnesses. Many dietary supplements and nutraceutical supplements include antioxidants in their formula. So if you regularly consume antioxidant drinks you may not have to rely on these supplements.
Furthermore, you don’t have to go for expensive treatments for premature ageing if you take an antioxidant drink like Purple on a regular basis because these drinks will supply the body with the necessary antioxidants to fight premature ageing. Free radicals that are generated by the oxidation reactions within the body are nothing but unstable molecules that damage protein and DNA. Antioxidants neutralize these harmful free radicals by supplying them with an electron which stabilizes them.

An antioxidant drink can make from Grape, Acai berry, black currant, blueberry, black cherry, black currant, purple plum, pomegranate and cranberry called juices. Moreover, now we can make from green leaf vegetables such as Sauropus sp, spinach, Hibiscus manihot (Gedi) with sugar or no. If we drink it continue for several month our body get healthy.
