Make it yourself

Squeezing your own fruit is one way to ensure that you are drinking the freshest of juices. Ingrid Haitink says maximise your vitamin intake by buying top-quality fruit, such as organic, and squeezing ripe produce that contains more vitamins and minerals.

She adds: "Only chop and prepare fruit when it is needed as once cut oxidisation occurs and vitamins are depleted. Drink immediately after juicing to obtain the maximum goodness."

Apple juice

Supplies a good dose of vitamin B5 that helps supply the body with energy.

Grapefruit juice

A powerful antioxidant that seems to help arthritic conditions. Pink grapefruit also contains lycopene that boasts immune-boosting qualities.

Mango juice

Delivers a good dose of antioxidants and beta-carotene that is particularly good for providing sun protection.

Orange juice

A small glass of freshly squeezed orange contains more than 150 per cent of an adult's recommended daily allowance of vitamin C.

Pineapple juice

The heavier it is the more juice it will have. Contains useful enzymes and lots of vitamins and minerals. Particularly rich in vitamin C and bromelian, both of which have anti-inflammatory properties.
