Fresh fruit juices are an excellent way to provide the body with a quantity of necessary nutrients while also satisfying your craving for something sweet.
However, they should be drunk in moderation, because they still have a fairly high sugar content, which in large amounts can do more harm than good to the body.
If you want to lose weight, you need to reduce your daily calorie intake by approximately 500 calories.
For this purpose, the following freshly pressed juices are excellent, and they can be a perfect alternative to one meal during the day.
The best fruit juices
Use the following fruit combinations:
- cranberries, plums and grapes
- pear and apple
- apple and watermelon
- orange and grapefruit
- apple, pineapple and pear
Tasty and nutritious green juices
Combine these ingredients (for vegetables where both root and greens are used, always use the greens):
- cucumber, parsley, celery and ginger
- celery, tomato, dill, spinach
- spinach, ginger, cayenne pepper (chili), tomato, garlic
- lemon, dill, cabbage, spinach
- celery, garlic, basil, kale, tomato
Fruit and vegetable juices
And finally, a few more great juice combinations of fruit and vegetables:
- green apple, kale, mint, cucumber, strawberries
- blueberries, cucumber, cabbage, mint, raspberries
- watermelon, pineapple, mango, orange bell pepper
- pineapple, spinach, watermelon, cayenne or chili spice, orange
- orange, ginger, lime, lemon
Combinations of fruit and vegetable juices are very beneficial because they contain large amounts of nutrients and thus provide significant health benefits to the body.
For example, parsley acts as a mild diuretic and cucumber effectively detoxifies the body.
Additionally, watermelon contains an alkaline fluid that neutralizes acids in the body and detoxifies the kidneys.
For a complete body cleanse, you can prepare a juice of parsley, cucumber, watermelon and ginger.
Conclusion
Consuming fresh juices (especially vegetable ones) is also beneficial for weight loss because they help consume less food and calories, while still providing enough nutrients the body needs.
On the other hand, it should be noted that store-bought boxed juices contain lower amounts of nutrients due to their pasteurization, which extends their shelf life. This mainly concerns vitamins and enzymes.
Therefore, always prefer to prepare your own fresh fruit and vegetable juices using a juicer.
