How to drink fresh juices

The benefits of aromatic and tasty drinks made from high-quality fruit are indisputable. But no matter how useful this product is, you need to know how to drink it properly. Some people go to extremes and practically exclude fresh berries, fruits and vegetables from their diet. They are just sure that all this can replace their home-made juice.

The use of fresh juice for weight loss

Juice diets are now quite popular. It is believed that the use of natural nectars helps to lose weight quickly and permanently. Of course, juices can be called a dietary product, because, despite the fact that they contain a huge amount of nutrients, they have few calories. But with all its beneficial properties, this product can not replace a person with normal food. Therefore, deciding on the juice diet, in no case completely do not refuse to eat.

Of course, you will be able to lose weight, but over time, your body will begin to demand everything exactly what it needs, and this will inevitably lead to overeating and new weight gain. Therefore, if you want to lose weight for a long time, then just stick to the basic rules of nutrition, and arrange only fasting days on the juice. But even in this case, it is necessary to gradually increase the amount of fresh drink. For example, during the day, drink not only juice, but green tea and clean water.

Over time, you can reduce the amount of tea and increase the amount of juice. Also try combining juices. Mix orange, apple and lemon. In case you need to sweeten the drink, add natural honey to it. If you take care of your body, then you will be able to throw off those extra pounds and maintain your health.

Fresh juices during pregnancy

During pregnancy, every expectant mother should accept tasty and healthy freshly prepared juices. They will not only help maintain the body in a normal state, but also reduce the manifestation of toxicosis and have a beneficial effect on the development of the future person. But you still need to be very careful when choosing a healthy drink.

After all, for example, if a woman has a tendency to allergic reactions, then during pregnancy this disease can worsen, and the body will give a negative reaction even to those products that you previously perceived normally. Therefore, if during the period of carrying a baby a woman wants juice, which she used to, generally, did not use, then it should be taken into the diet gradually.

Juices useful for pregnant women:
   Apple
   Beetroot
   Orange
   Carrot
   Pomegranate
   Pumpkin

From what age can you give different juices to a child?

• Our grandmothers and mothers believed that freshly made juice was simply an indispensable product for a baby. Therefore, starting from two months, they began to introduce this drink into the diet of the little man. But over time, scientists have proven that up to six months, this is not necessary. Indeed, it is only at four months that a small person begins to produce enzymes that can process not only one milk.
• And only at the end of the fifth month of life the child’s gastrointestinal tract begins to fully function. Some pediatricians recommend up to a year, in general, not to give young children fresh juices. This product can be replaced with herbal teas and not very concentrated compotes. But still, if you decide to introduce homemade fresch in the introduction of lure, then give drinks from vegetables and fruits that are grown in your region
• Do not give a son or daughter pineapple, grapefruit or mango juice. Start better with apple or carrot. But even these juices before giving the child must necessarily be diluted with boiled water in a 1: 1 ratio. Well, and, of course, do not forget about the quantity. To begin with, give your child just a couple of drops and, if no negative reactions follow, you can gradually increase the amount of fresh. If you do it right, then by the year the baby will be able to drink up to 100 g of fresh juice

Can I drink juice to sick people?

Elevated cholesterol is detected in every fifth inhabitant of the planet over 40 years old. Despite the fact that disorders of fat metabolism are asymptomatic for a long time, they can lead to serious cardiovascular complications, such as myocardial infarction or stroke. There are dozens of ways of medical correction of dyslipidemia, but diet remains the fundamental method of treatment. In our review we will consider the benefits and harm of juices, recipes based on them from high cholesterol, as well as the nuances of their use in atherosclerosis.

Benefit and harm

Juices are a popular use for many fruits and some vegetables. Fragrant and tasty drink not only quenches thirst, but also saturates the body with essential vitamins and microelements.

The benefits of juices are obvious:

1. Fruit or vegetable drink is a "concentrate" of the biological properties of the plant and, of course, very useful. For example, a glass of apple juice is equivalent to 2-3 large fruits in terms of the content of vitamins and microelements.
2. Juice consists mainly of water and does not contain fiber at all. Therefore, it is better absorbed by the body and when it enters the gastrointestinal tract almost immediately absorbed into the blood.
3. A moderate intake of vitamin drinks improves metabolism, strengthens the immune system, and also removes metabolic by-products.

1. Freshly squeezed fruit juices (especially grapes, bananas, watermelon, mango) contain a lot of fructose. Of course, this carbohydrate is considered healthier than white sugar, but when it is absorbed in the small intestine, it dramatically increases the level of glucose in the blood. The use of such drinks by patients suffering from diabetes should be sharply limited.
2. Sweet drinks have a high energy value: for example, 100 g of apple juice contains 90 kcal, and grape juice - 110 kcal. One or two glasses, and most of the daily "limit" of calories will be spent.
3. Freshly squeezed citrus juice and some other fruits (apple, cranberry, blackberry) increase the acidity of the stomach. Therefore, they are strictly contraindicated in hyperacid gastritis, gastric ulcer and other chronic pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract.
4. The acid in the composition of fruit juices also negatively affects the tooth enamel, provoking its destruction. To avoid the appearance of caries, such drinks are recommended to drink through a straw.
5. The use of juices in large doses can lead to the development of hypervitaminosis, allergic reactions, disorders of the gastrointestinal tract - constipation or diarrhea.

It is not at all necessary to talk about the benefits of purchased juices in tetrapacks: such drinks are made from reconstituted concentrates and contain a lot of sugar.

To make juices useful for health, the main thing is to drink them in moderation - no more than 1 cup per day before meals or in between meals. This tasty and natural product is used to prevent and treat many diseases, including atherosclerosis and other disorders of fat metabolism. How do juices work with high cholesterol, and what kind of fruit or vegetable is considered most useful for dyslipidemia: try to figure it out.

Vegetable juices for health and longevity

Squash

Raw zucchini has a fairly specific fresh taste, but it is more than paid off with its beneficial properties. Most often, food uses unripe watery fruits with a liquid content of up to 95%, and it is easy to prepare fresh juice from them.

According to its chemical composition, zucchini drink is considered one of the most useful. He contains:

• potassium;
• calcium;
• magnesium;
• iron;
• sodium;
• phosphorus;
• vitamins of group B, PP, E, A.

In addition, zucchini is a dietary product recommended for feeding patients with lipid metabolism disorders and obesity. Caloric content of 100 ml makes only 23 kcal.

Effective vegetable drink and to reduce cholesterol. With atherosclerosis, it is recommended to take it, starting with the minimum portions - 1-2 tbsp. l Within a month, this volume is gradually increased to 300 ml. Drink zucchini juice once a day, 30-45 minutes before meals. To improve the taste of the product, it can be mixed with apple, carrot or any other type of juice. The course of treatment is not limited.

Note! Use fresh juice immediately after preparation, as it is poorly stored.

Usually zucchini is well tolerated and does not cause undesirable reactions from the human body. However, vegetable juice is not recommended when:

• gastritis and gastric ulcer;
• exacerbation of inflammatory diseases of the digestive tract;
• liver failure.

Carrot

Familiar to all carrots - a great assistant in the fight against excess cholesterol. The composition of the root includes:

• beta carotene, which normalizes metabolism in the body;
• magnesium, which regulates the activity of the outflow of bile, accelerates the excretion of "bad" lipids from the body of bile acids.

Due to these properties, carrot juice is successfully used as one of the means to reduce cholesterol. The recommended dosage is 120 ml (half a cup) before meals. To improve therapeutic properties, the simultaneous use of carrot juice and apples (or citrus) is recommended.

Cucumber

Sodium and potassium, which are part of the cucumber juice, have a positive effect on the work of the cardiovascular system and prevent atherosclerotic lesions of the large arteries.

• fresh cucumber - 2 pcs .;
• mint leaves - to taste;
• lemon - ½.

Wash cucumber and lemon, cut into small cubes. Beat all the specified ingredients in a blender more often and add a small amount of crushed ice. Serve garnished with a sprig of mint. This drink not only has a pleasant fresh taste, but also helps fight cholesterol: it increases the level of "good" cholesterol and reduces the concentration of "bad."

Beetroot

Beet juice contains a lot of useful substances, including chlorine and magnesium ions. These minerals promote the excretion of “bad” lipids from the body and reduce the level of total cholesterol.

1. It is undesirable to drink beet juice in its pure form. It is better to add it to carrot, apple or any other fruit fresh.
2. Immediately after preparation, the product may contain some substances that are toxic to the body. Therefore, unlike the other juices, before drinking, such a drink should be refrigerated for 2-3 days.

Tomato

Many people like tomato juice. This refreshing and palatable drink not only eliminates thirst, but also helps fight atherosclerosis. The chemical composition of tomatoes is diverse and includes:

• fiber (400 mg / 100 g), which will improve digestion and improve metabolism;
• sodium and potassium - the elements by which energy transfer occurs at the cellular level;
• vitamin A;
• vitamin C, an antioxidant and metabolic stimulant;
• calcium, bone strengthening;
• magnesium is involved in most chemical processes in the body.

The main feature of tomato juice is the presence of lycopene in the composition of the unique organic compound. This substance regulates the metabolism of fats in the body, reduces the concentration of "bad" lipids and increases - "good."

To get rid of high cholesterol, it is recommended to use 1 glass of freshly squeezed tomato juice. Salt in the drink is undesirable to add - it reduces its beneficial properties.

Tomatoes are contraindicated in:

• gastrointestinal diseases in the acute stage;
• pancreatitis;
• individual intolerance - allergies;
• food poisoning.

Fruit juices - tasty and healthy delicacy

We all love sweet and fragrant fruit juices. In addition to the tonic and tonic effect on the body, they have a positive effect on lipid metabolism.

1. Juice of green apples is rich in antioxidants, which slow down the process of lipid peroxidation and prevent the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.
2. Pomegranate juice contains polyphenols - organic compounds that actively reduce the level of "bad" lipids in the blood.
3. The composition of ripe fruits of orange, grapefruit and other citrus fruits include a large amount of pectin. According to research, daily consumption of a glass of orange juice during the month reduces the level of OX by 20% from the original.
4. Lemon is saturated with vitamin C, promotes fat burning and metabolism acceleration. When combined with ginger, it is possible to obtain a remedy for the treatment and active prevention of the formation of cholesterol plaques on the walls of blood vessels.

To combat atherosclerosis, doctors recommend drinking 250-300 ml of fresh juice throughout the day. This type of treatment will not only help get rid of excess cholesterol, but also improve digestion, normalize weight, increase the body's defenses. Especially useful to conduct a course of juice therapy (duration - 1-3 months) in the spring, when the body needs additional support.

There are few contraindications, these include:

Vitamins are what the human body needs all year round. But if during the warm season we can indulge ourselves with fresh products from the garden, then in the cold period, which is often associated with colds and immunosuppression, there may be difficulties.

It is recommended to defend only beet (2-3 hours) and cabbage (12 hours) juices. They need to be kept in the refrigerator in an open container to neutralize the harmful substances that make up the fresh juice.

Fresh vegetables: drink or not drink

All vegetable fresh juices can boast an excellent chemical composition. In this case, it is not only about vitamins, macro- and microelements, but also phytoncides - the so-called “natural antibiotics”, which kill bacteria and can help in the treatment of many serious diseases. We should not forget about dietary fiber, which works as a natural scrub for the body, linking and naturally removing toxins and toxins.

Do not drink freshly squeezed vegetable juices while eating or immediately after it. Fresh is a product with a high concentration of active substances. By reacting with food, it provokes fermentation. It is fraught with bloating, heartburn, flatulence and other unpleasant symptoms. Doctors recommend that people with low acidity drink fresh juices one hour before meals, and those with acidity increased one hour after.

It is categorically not recommended to drink some juices in “pure” form. This, above all, beet fresh, which is recommended to be diluted in a ratio of 1: 3. Juices from, and onions can be exclusively added to other fresh juices in extremely small quantities.

At the same time, it is desirable to drink juices in the first half of the day, since they are energy drinks that can provoke insomnia in the evening use.

3. The best option is to squeeze vegetable fresh juices manually or using an electric juicer with a cold-type press extractor. Juices prepared in this way retain the full range of vitamins and minerals. At the same time, traditional centrifuge-type juicers, chopping fruits and vegetables, heat them up, as a result of which some useful substances disintegrate. This applies not only to vitamins, but also to enzymes that strengthen the immune system.
