Fruit juice is good for you but loaded with sugar. If its pure juice, its a healthy unrefined sugar but sugar nonetheless. You can take a multi vitamin with food and get nearly the same benefits as drinking fruit juice.
Vegetable juice is very good for you. Can't say anything bad about that.
Instead of coffee, try diet rockstar |
true.
if you are trying for controlled calories and high nutrition you are much better off eating an orange than drinking a glass of tropicana. the fiber will make you feel full, the glycemic index is better for blood sugar control, and the nutrition about the same as the juice.
good advice about vegetable juice, all the varieties of V8 are good nutrition, but try to limit salt if you are over 30 due to blood pressure issues.
also tomato juice---try for 100% natural juice, no additives, no preservatives. it will taste better and be better for you.
remember the american diet is created by the profit motive and palatibility, nutrition is not the first consideration, and for good health and longevity you must educate yourself about what is good for YOUR body---and you cannot leave that control to someone else. eat for health and nutrition, not necessarily good taste. read labels, become educated about what the human body really needs for good health...and it mostly isn't at shakey's pizza, or KFC, or in the grocery aisle of baked goods.
exercise, and eat mostly unprocessed foods. feel better, live longer, make more money, and bang more beaver.
