Why to Avoid Fresh Fruit Juice this Summer

Producer:  Mehak Pal Editor: Sujata Singh

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.

No fibre

Fresh-squeezed juice contains as much sugar as store-bought varieties and lacks the essential fibre that whole fruits offer.

Leads to a blood sugar spike

Juices cause rapid sugar release into your bloodstream by increasing your calorie intake because they’re less filling than whole fruits. 

Weight gain

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.

 Loss of nutrients

A lot of nutrients are lost during the process of juicing. And not consuming the juice immediately after being made can destroy the nutrients.

Bad for teeth

 Fruit juice can be acidic and has natural sugars that can contribute to tooth decay and enamel erosion.
