Fruits are power packed with essential nutrients and minerals we require for the day and so do fruit juices; after all, juices are a byproduct of fruits, right?
Juicing fruits has become a convenient alternative to quickly consume important nutrients. While there are benefits to drinking fruit juice, it may not be as good as a whole fruit.
Fruit juice is a good option for people who are picky eaters, so you can combine other fruits to make it tastier and flavourful.
Fruit juices here clearly mean fresh juices extracted from whole fruits at home and not the packed ones.
Celeb nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar strongly advises against bottled juices and packaged juices from stores and restaurants. These juices don't go bad which means they are not good to begin with. Fresh juice, on the other hand, is a much better option, but not for people dealing with diabetes, PCOD, obesity, heart disease, etc.
According to the expert, eating your fruits should be preferred over their juice. However, fruit juice could be a good option in some circumstances.
