4. Apples – a gentle cleanser
We’ve all heard the saying, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away,” but Dr. Walker meant it literally. Apples contain pectin , a fiber that helps remove waste products and cholesterol from the body.
They are also rich in polyphenols , plant compounds that support gut health and protect cells from aging.
He recommended eating them raw or with the skin on for maximum benefits.
5. Spinach – Green Shield
One of Dr. Walker’s famous juice blends was a blend of carrot and spinach – a combination he believed nourished the entire body.
Spinach provides chlorophyll , iron , and magnesium , which support oxygenation, muscle strength, and brain function. Chlorophyll acts as a natural detoxifier and helps neutralize free radicals, which can accelerate aging.
In one of his journals, Walker wrote, “A body that receives fresh vegetables daily rarely feels tired.”
6. Lemons – balance pH
Few foods are as cleansing and refreshing as lemons. Dr. Walker used them to support the body’s natural alkalinity, which he believed helped prevent inflammation and fatigue.
The vitamin C in lemons also plays an important role in collagen production and immune system function – both of which are crucial for healthy aging.
Squeeze fresh lemon into your water every morning or add it to green juice for a refreshing and tart flavor.
