News India Live, Digital Desk: Nowadays we all have become very cautious about our health. Many people like to drink ‘fruit juice’ instead of tea or coffee after waking up in the morning. The TV commercials tell us that this juice is made from 100% real fruit and is packed with vitamins. We also buy Tetra Pack from the market without thinking and think that we have done something good for our health. But have you ever thought that how fresh and beneficial is the juice that you keep in the fridge for months? Let us talk a little openly today about canned juice, which is probably secretly spoiling your health. 1. Fiber is missing sir! The thing that makes fruits most beneficial is ‘fibre’. When you chew and eat fresh fruits, the fiber keeps your digestive system healthy and makes you feel full. But in the process of making packaged juice, the pulp and fiber of the fruit are completely removed. outcome? You are just drinking colored and sweetened water, which does not provide the body with the benefits that real fruits provide.2. Hidden Treasure of Sugar: Perhaps you will be surprised to know that many juice packets available in the market may contain as much sugar as any cold drink. Companies add a lot of sugar to enhance the taste and prevent it from spoiling over a long period of time. Even though “No Added Sugar” is written on the packet, the fruits’ own sweetness is concentrated, which ultimately increases the glucose level in the body.3. When you drink packaged juice, the blood sugar level in the body increases very rapidly. It does not contain fiber, so the body absorbs it immediately. This sudden increase in sugar causes an ‘insulin spike’. If you consume it daily, your weight gradually starts increasing and the risk of type-2 diabetes may also arise. We think that we are taking a healthy diet, but unknowingly we are increasing calories.4. It is not real, it is a miracle of chemicals. It is worth wondering, if you extract orange juice at home, for how many days will it remain fresh? A day or two? Then how does the juice from the market not spoil for 6 months? The answer is – Preservatives. To keep these juices safe for a long time, many types of chemicals and artificial flavors are added. This process almost destroys the natural nutrients of the juice. So what to do then? This does not mean that drinking juice is a sin, but it is important to change the method. Try to chew the fruit and eat it: Chewing the fruit with teeth has its own pleasure and this is the best way. This gives you complete nutrition and fiber. Fresh juice is an option: If you have to drink juice, then extract fresh fruit juice at home and drink it immediately without adding sugar. Read the label: Even if you are forced to take packaged juice, then read the ingredients written on the back of the packet. Choose only those which have less sugar and more pulp. Health is priceless, do not leave it at the mercy of colorful packets. A little wisdom can keep you and your family away from diseases. So the next time you feel thirsty, pick up a fresh apple or orange instead of a Tetra Pak!
