Do you think juicing fresh fruit is the healthiest beverage option this summer? Here are some reasons why you should have a whole fruit instead of juice.
Fresh-squeezed juice contains as much sugar as store-bought varieties and lacks the essential fibre that whole fruits offer.
Juices cause rapid sugar release into your bloodstream by increasing your calorie intake because they’re less filling than whole fruits.
Drinking fresh fruit juice can lead to overeating and potential weight gain. Hence, having whole fruits can benefit from all their nutritional advantages, including fibre that keeps you satisfied and regulates digestion.
A lot of nutrients are lost during the process of juicing. And not consuming the juice immediately after being made can destroy the nutrients.
