Vegetable juices versus fruit juices: why endocrinologists recommend the green alternative
According to endocrinologist Elizaveta Dzantieva, despite the popularity of fruits, vegetable juices are becoming the real champions in the fight for body health. The specialist notes their ability to activate metabolism, maintain water balance, and at the same time maintain low calorie content.
The main advantage of vegetable drinks over fruit ones is a significantly lower sugar content while preserving all the beneficial properties.
Carrot juice stands out for its high content of beta-carotene, essential for maintaining healthy skin and sharp vision.
Beetroot juice is a real cocktail of B vitamins and powerful antioxidants that strengthen the body's defenses.
Green juices become a natural source of iron and chlorophyll, which have a beneficial effect on blood quality and overall well-being.
The endocrinologist draws attention to an important nuance: for maximum absorption of vitamins from vegetable juices, it is recommended to add a small amount of vegetable oil or cream, which will not only improve the taste of the drink but also increase the bioavailability of beneficial substances.
The list of recommended juices also includes cabbage juice, rich in vitamin C and supporting the immune system, as well as pumpkin drink with high content of fiber and vitamins that have a beneficial effect on skin condition and fight chronic fatigue.
The specialist warns about the need to observe moderation - the optimal daily portion is 200-300 ml. Special caution should be exercised with beetroot juice, which is recommended to be diluted with water to prevent discomfort in the digestive system.
Elizaveta Dzantieva strongly discourages store-bought juices, which often contain added sugar, salt, and preservatives. The ideal option remains freshly squeezed homemade drinks.
If you have chronic diseases or doubts before starting to consume such juices, it is recommended to consult a doctor.
