The Importance of Fruit Juice in Your Diet

The benefits of drinking fruit juice are many. In fact, if you’ve been avoiding added sugars and processed foods because of all the Nutrition Facts labels that tell you they have Added Sugars, you might want to give drinking fruit juice a try. Fruit juices don’t generally have added sugars like regular fruit; they have natural sugars found in the fruit itself. This means they have more than enough sweetness on their own.

As a result, these juices are very low in calories compared to other drinks. In fact, one 12 ounce (350 ml) glass of pureed fresh strawberries has only about 5 calories according to my research. If you enjoy smoothies oricles with your breakfast then a cup of fresh fruit juice is an excellent addition to your day. It also makes a great snack between meals or as part of your post-workout recovery drink . You can even make it ahead of time and freeze it so that you have convenient healthy options for nights when hunger pangs hit late at night!

Healthy eating is about more than cutting back on the amount of sugar you consume. It’s about cutting out the empty calories from all the extra stuff you’re not really interested in keeping in your body. Fruit juice is one of those things; it’s got sugar in it but not in the way you might be thinking. Plus, it’s very low in calories. If you were to drink a can of regular orange juice, for example, it would contain around 100 calories.

However, the same can of fresh orange juice has only around 7 calories. In other words, if you were to drink a single glass of fresh orange juice it would contain only 7% of your daily calories; it would not contain 100% of them. This is why you should drink fruit juice: you’re getting your daily intake of calories from a single glass of fruit.

Just because you’re not consuming any added sugars does not mean that you have to drink a lot of sugar. And, just because you’re not consuming a lot of added sugars, does not mean that you have to drink bad or unhealthy fruit juices. You’re actually getting plenty of ‘healthy’ fruit in your everyday fruit juices; fresh, organic and full of vitamins, minerals and fiber.

You will not gain any additional vitamins or minerals by way of that. In fact, certain fruits and vegetables are known to be high in antioxidants and are thought to protect our bodies from a number of diseases. This is why you should drink fruit juice: it’s filling and helps you get your daily intake of fruits and vegetables.
