Do not drink juice while eating

People drink juice mostly because they feel nutritious and drink well. Many people think that fruit juice can replace fruit. Drinking fruit juice can supplement nutrients (such as vitamin C) in fruits. In particular, children who do not like fruit should drink more or even completely replace drinking water.
Old people and children drinking a little amount of juice can help digestion and intestines.
Insufficient nutrients in dietary supplements.

If adults can not guarantee a reasonable diet, it can be considered a good way to add some nutrition by drinking juice. Some people do not like to drink boiled water. The sweet-tasting juices can increase their drinking water and ensure the body's need for water. It is indeed a good thing.

Fruit juice retains a lot of nutrients in fruits, such as vitamins, minerals, sugars, and pectin in dietary fiber, and tastes better than ordinary boiled water. Compared to water and carbonated drinks, juice does have a considerable advantage. However, the reason why most fruit juices are “drinking” is because of the addition of seasonings such as sugar, sweeteners, sour materials, and spices.

Need to remind everyone is: There is a considerable gap between the nutrition and fruit juice, do not confuse the two, fruit juice can not completely replace fruit. First, the juice is essentially free of cellulose in fruit; second, the process of mashing and squeezing destroys some of the easily oxidized vitamins in the fruit; and third, some nutrients (such as cellulose) in the fruit. The lack of ) will have an adverse effect on the overall nutritional effect; Fourth, there are some additives in the process of fruit juice production is bound to affect the nutritional quality of fruit juices, such as sweeteners, preservatives, make the juice clear and solid Agents, additives to prevent juice from discoloration, etc. Fifth, the heated sterilization method will also damage the nutrients of the fruit. Therefore, for people who can eat fresh fruits, the whole fruit is always the best choice for nutrition.

Drink fruit juice when learning

Because people rarely eat vegetables and fruits for breakfast, drinking a glass of fresh juice or pure juice in the morning should be a good habit to supplement the body's needs for water and nutrients. Unfortunately, people often drink a glass of milk and cannot drink anything else. It should be noted that when fasting, do not drink fruit juices with higher acidity, eat some staple foods and drink again to avoid stomach discomfort. Whether it is fresh fruit juice, pure juice or fruit juice drinks, drink as little as possible during lunch and dinner. The acidity of the juice will directly affect the acidity of the gastrointestinal tract. A large number of juices will dilute the concentration of the gastric juice. The fruit acids in the juice will also affect the digestion and absorption of these nutrients in combination with certain nutrients in the diet. At the time of eating, I felt that my stomach was full, I couldn’t eat it, I couldn’t eat well after my meal, and my stomach was not feeling well. In addition to breakfast, fruit juice is also suitable for drinking between meals.

Differentiate fruit juice types

Usually the juices we can buy in the market are the following:

First, the preservation of fresh juice. Generally used plastic bottles or house-type paper-made fresh box, indicate the preservation conditions are low-temperature refrigeration, the preservation time is short, most of them only 7-10 days. This kind of fruit juice is generally fresh squeezed juice, which has not been sterilized by high temperature, and basically has no added sugar, sweeteners and preservatives, and the nutrient composition is well preserved. The fruit juice must be stored at low temperature and be consumed within a short period of time. Due to the short shelf life, it is rare in the market.

Second, pure juice. General use of carton or glass bottles, plastic bottles, room temperature for more than six months. Most of the fruit juices are concentrated juices produced from fruit production areas and the concentration of the original juices is restored by adding water, and the instant high temperature sterilization treatment is performed. Nutrients, especially vitamins, are lost, and the flavor of the fruit is slightly altered. The concentration of this juice should be the same as that of freshly squeezed juice, at least similar.

Third, concentrated juice. Multi-purpose glass bottles or plastic bottles, longer storage time at room temperature. This juice contains more sugar and additives, and the label will indicate the dilution when drinking. Concentrated fruit juices are easy to carry, sweetness is generally higher, and taste can be adjusted by itself.

Fourth, fruit juice drinks. There are many varieties of steamy fruit juice beverages and non-steamed juice drinks, and the content of juices is not the same.
