Nutritional Benefits
Bitter gourds are very low in calories but dense with precious nutrients. It is an excellent source of vitamins B1, B2, and B3, C, magnesium, folic acid, zinc, phosphorus, manganese, and has high dietary fiber. It is rich in iron, contains twice the beta-carotene of broccoli, twice the calcium of spinach, and twice the potassium of a banana.
Bitter melon contains a unique phyto-constituent that has been confirmed to have a hypoglycemic effect called charantin. There is also another insulin-like compound known as polypeptide P which have been suggested as insulin replacement in some diabetic patients.

Few other fruits/vegetables offer medicinal properties for these ailments like bitter melon does.

Another "recipe" I found :
Blend 2 celery stalks, 1 green apple, 1/4 cucumber, 1/4 bitter melon, 1/2 green pepper
~ for weight loss and detox ;
~ good at preventing high blood pressure, cholesterol disorders and constipation.
I like that...just hope that I would continue diligently making the juice for at least 2 weeks...ha ha ha..

To answer your question on my blog: I used a 55-250mm zoom lens to get the picture of the moon.
Sounds so healthy... I love Granny Smith Green Apples ---but don't eat enough of them. Guess I need to think about these mixtures... Thanks so much for sharing. It's always best to do what we can to stay healthy.

Bitter gourd is one of my favorite veggies. I would eat it raw like salad. With mixture of vinegar. I would add pepper, onion, garlic, tomatoes, etc. I have not tried the juice alone with lemon. I will try it. Thanks for posting this healthy info. :)
