Health! Fresh juices are useful

Many believe that the fresh juices are useful in any quantities and definitely harmless. However, it is not. The same juice someone helps, but anyone can do much harm.

Healing power of juice should not be overestimated. It is, first, food. Their therapeutic effect is not so much expressed as a medicine. With the juice therapy, cannot cope with the disease, can only support the organism?

Be careful

In some cases, fresh juices are contraindicated. For example, if ulcer disease, gastritis and aggravation are not worth drinking acidic juices: lemon, orange, apple, cranberry. There are many organic compounds, which increase the acidity of gastric juice, can cause heartburn and pain attack.

Grape juice is desirable to limit the total people and diabetics. It is too much sugar and calories. It is not to get involved in a drink of wine and irritated bowel syndrome.

Remember that many fresh juices have aperients operation. Therefore, the propensity to diarrhea is recommended to dilute them with water and drink slowly.

To get from the fresh juice of useful substances and vitamins, most do not have to drink liters of it, as recommended by some «healers». Such experiments on the body can be harmful. A reasonable target - from a few tablespoons of up to three cups a day depending on the type of juice.

Juice extractor or grater

It is believed that the juice cannot cook with the help of electric as well as in contact with the metal destroyed vitamins. Part of this process actually occurs.

However, in recent years as a juicer used metals, interacting minimally with the components of juices. If you cook the juice grandmother's method, using graters and gauze, the loss of vitamins is still inevitable. Indeed, in this case the juice for a long time in contact with air.

For the best learning

Fresh fruit and vegetable juices perfectly complement each other. Fruit juices are richer in sugar and vitamins, and vegetable - mineral salts.

Juice is better to use for 30-40 minutes before meals or in between meals. Particularly careful of this recommendation should be followed to juices of sweet fruits. If you drink a sweet juice after lunch, it can enhance fermentation in the intestines and trigger bloating.

Freshly juices must drink once (except the beetroot). Even short-term cold storage reduces the therapeutic value of juice, although the taste they may not change.
