CELERY
Celery contains vitamin C, beta carotene, and flavonoids, but there are at least 12 additional kinds of antioxidant nutrients found in a single stalk
CUCUMBER
Cucumbers have a mild, refreshing taste and a high water content. They can help relieve dehydration and are pleasant to eat in hot weather.
APPLE
Eating fiber-rich foods such as Apples helps control symptoms and lessens the effects of acid reflux. An apple's fiber can also help with diarrhea and constipation.
MINT
The menthol quality of mint has been shown to help clear nasal passages. Studies show that mint may help reduce the bacteria within the mouth that causes bad breath.
LIME JUICE
Limes are high in vitamin C and antioxidants — both of which may offer health benefits. Eating limes or drinking the juice may improve immunity, reduce heart disease risk factors, prevent kidney stones, aid iron absorption, and promote healthy skin
