I'm quite curious about making water marinades from fresh fruit and greens to see whether many of their nutrients can be exploited and used. The theory is to get one of those tall cereal tubs and to load it with fresh fruit like melon, orange, lemon, etc and some greens like spinach and parsley. Then fill with water and leave for a day and in theory marinade the water so it contains some of the nutrients and goodness from the fruits and greens.

Anyone tried or thought about this as an idea before?

can I have some of the drugs you are on please

lol. Why not just eat the fruit/veg and drink water?

Heh, just an idea really. Don't mean it to replace eating fruit and veg but as a way to perhaps boost nutrients and getting it via water naturally as an alternative to Greens powders seemed like an interesting method.

Sounds like a good idea, would also like to know what and if people have found trying this.

Life's too short for this stuff mate.

FFS!

putting certain things in water [almonds] is good, and im sure the same applies to fruits - in fact theres a good argument to suggest doing so with some could actually be good.

the skin of kiwi fruits is a classic example Id suspect?

i guess it boils down to which fruits it would apply to - and if you got the time.....and if they do actually release anything in above average amounts?

Amusing reactions especially from the older demographic who "don't like change". Seriously, get a grip you old farts

Don't see time to be an issue as cutting fruit etc would take 5 mins max and then leave over night. I'm sure you will spend longer emptying out your shit bag that you'll be forced to wear because you could be bothered to take the time to eat well... robbing Peter to pay Paul...

In terms of quantity released even if it's small amounts then it'll be more than none at all. The arguement is that you can eat it but then that's not really the point here and it's a decent way of getting extra nutrients without extra sugar in take. I'd imagine that fresh Farm Shop produce would work very well here over standard Supermarket produce and you should get a few days worth out of eat batch. It should colour the water so once this starts to reduce then you know it's time to change the fruit/veg.

Next, you'll be marnating air - you ponce!

I think things like lemon peel [excellent candidate], kiwis, orange peel, and things like would would def have a huge difference - and hey if you are still eating them at the end - its a win-win.

I was thinking of mixing steroids in with steam in a steam room...

lol or just get a few who are on to urinate in a bottle and drink that!

Zesting those would work well with a fine grater.

I prefer using one of these http://www.myhouseandgarden.com/rumpot0.htm for my fruit marinades

Can't argue that...

might as well eat your own cum while you're at it

Contains prostaglandins which when ingested orally apparently significantly reduce platelet aggregation and formation of thrombocytes... maybe we should all start drinkign from our own man milk fountains

I think it's a good idea (the marinaded water, not the cum eating ) - I might do a little googling and look for similar ideas/things that might work.

I marinade my water with diluten juice.

Robinsons sounds nicer tbh

Good idea mate!

I can't see how it will actually benefit you? What do all these 'extra' nutrients do.... i doubt they make you healthier. The longest lived populations in the world sure as hell don't drink greens drinks and marinate their water. Just seems to me like extra expense for little to no gain.

exactly. I ditched green drinks ages ago and just eat more real greens instead

Might be an idea to grow your own fruit and veg (organically of course).

Water them with hydrogen peroxide & then use for the marinade

Genius!
