Are fruit juices really healthy? Did you know that an 8 ounce of fruit juice can contain up to 8 teaspoons of sugar? Are the health benefits really beneficial if couple with this amount of sugar? Is drinking fruit juices really beneficial for your weight loss as popularized by many so-called health experts?
With what we see in TV, advertisements claim that fruit juices are the most convenient way to a healthier, slimmer body. These commercials have bombarded our minds for years that we already believe them to be true. But is this really true? Is this a good way to lose weight?
Natural fruit juices are full of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. These are all beneficial for a healthier body and a resistant immune system. But with the amount of natural sugar in them, even without the added sugars yet, are these health benefits from these juices able to surpass the negative effects of the sugar? Are drinking fruit juices really doing more good than bad?
Fruits contain natural fruit sugars or fructose. The fact is that squeezing juices from fruits is not a natural process. This unnatural process makes the concept of squeezing juices against the rule of nature. Squeezing juices allows us to consume more sugar from fruits than when we consume these as a whole fruit. One can eat one whole apple and be already satisfied. But squeezing 5 apples for its juice is just a small amount for a fruit juice.
Fruits should be eaten whole as what nature intended. This is also very beneficial for your weight loss goals. Eating fruits can provide you with fiber, vitamins, and minerals that are much needed by the body when burning the fats.
From now on, never squeeze the fruits for its juices. Eat them as a whole fruit for snack or dessert. All this time, you had been fooled to believe with their marketing gimmicks. Go back to basic and you'll be slimmer and healthier.
