Capricorn Diet

Capricorns like drinking water and always get on well with liquids. Because they constantly have trouble with their bowels, eating fibre-rich food does them good. Since Capricorn stands for the bone structure, they need calcium all their lives. Seafood is ideal for their health. Strawberries, figs, walnuts, celery and spinach are also staples for them. This particular diet, which takes off two kilos in three days, should be supported with two litres of water a day.
