The benefits of drinking fruit juice
In the buffet breakfast in the hotel, there must be juice such as orange juice. Japanese people are not used to drinking fruit juice early in the morning, but according to research reports, fruit and vegetable juice has the effect of preventing Alzheimer's disease.
A survey was conducted on 1836 Japanese-Americans living in the United States. They were divided into two groups: "Drink vegetable juice or juice more than three times a week" and "Drink at most 1 time". It was found that compared with people who only drank 1 time at most, people who drank more than three times a week had a 76% lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. In other words, this data shows that drinking juice more than three times a week reduces the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease by a quarter.
Since drinking fruit juice or vegetable juice can reduce so many risks, there is really no reason not to try. If you want to make drinking fruit juice a habit, morning is the most suitable time, which can not only replenish the dehydration state of the body in the morning, but also the vitamins and minerals contained in the fruit juice can play a role in the body with insufficient energy due to basic metabolism at night, so that the energy can return to normal.
What juice is good to drink?
The most convenient way to make juice is to use a juicer. If you are too busy to make it yourself in the morning, you can also use commercially available juice instead. According to the packaging of a vegetable juice on the market, a can of juice contains carrots, tomatoes, asparagus, red bell peppers, spinach, purple sweet potatoes, molokheiya, green peas, cauliflower, bitter gourd, mung bean sprouts, celery, pumpkin, basil, kale, cresson and cherry radish.
There are a variety of vegetable juices in supermarkets, among which the most popular ones are tomatoes, carrots and red bell peppers, but there are also products that combine a variety of vegetables like the above.
In terms of fruit juice, there are orange juice, apple juice, grape juice, etc., and there are also comprehensive fruit juices such as orange, grapefruit, strawberry and orange. I suggest that you choose products with a variety of fruits and vegetables, because you can absorb various nutrients contained in fruits and vegetables. Whether this kind of fruit juice is packed in cartons or canned, it is best to choose the kind that can be drunk at one time, so that you can easily form the habit of "drinking one bottle every morning" without forgetting it.
Nutritional components in fruit juice
The nutrients contained in fruits and vegetables are not only vitamins and minerals, but also phytochemicals. Recently, I often hear that lycopene in tomatoes or polyphenols in grapes are all phytochemicals.
Eating more fruits and vegetables can naturally absorb more phytochemicals, and fruit and vegetable juice can eat a variety of fruits and vegetables more easily than salad or cooking. Please be sure to include it in the breakfast menu.
Juice recommendation
First, freshly squeezed orange juice
Drinking orange juice regularly can also effectively prevent some chronic diseases, maintain myocardial function and lower blood pressure. Studies have shown that drinking three glasses of orange juice a day can increase the content of high density lipoprotein (HDL) in the body, thus reducing the possibility of heart disease. Although there are many kinds of orange juice with pulp in the supermarket, there are still many additives and pigments in it, so I only touch it when I eat with my friends.
Second, Sydney juice
Sydney is the treasure and king of pears, rich in malic acid, citric acid, vitamin B 1, B2, C, carotene, etc. It has the effects of promoting fluid production, moistening dryness, clearing away heat and resolving phlegm, and can treat wind-heat and moistening lung, cool heart, eliminate phlegm, reduce fire and detoxify. Therefore, it has a good effect on dry throat, itching, pain, hoarseness, thick phlegm, constipation and red urine in patients with acute tracheitis and upper respiratory tract infection. Sydney juice has the effects of lowering blood pressure and nourishing yin and clearing heat, so it is good for patients with hypertension, hepatitis and cirrhosis to drink Sydney juice often. At one time, a brand of rock candy Sydney juice was very popular with me, but I accidentally ingested a lot of sugar, so it's better to squeeze it fresh!
