Are you also one of them who carries packaged juices in their office tiffin bag or over a glass of packaged juice to compliment your breakfast? If yes, we would like to advise you that please stop having these packaged juices and change your taste to fresh fruit juices. It might sound challenging for you and boring, but if you want to stay healthy and fit in life, you should create scope for the change. In several Indian families, these packaged juices are viewed as alternatives to “unhealthy” carbonated soft drinks, but the question is are these packaged fruit juices really healthy? Or is it just a myth? The packaged fruit juices are undisputedly unhealthy.
These juices can be classified as fruit drinks, juices, and nectar drinks. According to research fruit drinks carries about 20% of fruit, while fruit juices have 15-20% of fruits and last but not the least nectar drinks contain only 10% of the fruit. When we analysed the situation, we realised that the rising number of health-conscious consumers are having these juices thinking they are fulfilling their daily nutritional element with a packaged juice which is healthy. But unhappily, all this has happened in health diseases that we keep neglecting. For example, packaged juices lack satiety value i.e. you may not feel full even after drinking 3 glasses of juice. Whereas, if you drink one glass of pulpy fresh juice you will feel satisfied, or you can also opt for eating the fresh fruit directly. According to a research, the act of chewing and swallowing sends satisfaction signal to the brain. Here, we have tried to highlight such reasons that might force you to say no to the packaged juices today.
