What is better? Fresh fruit or juice?

There are many ways to eat fruit and although it may seem that consuming it in liquid or solid form is the same, the reality is different. The properties of the ingredient can change quite a bit if you consume it as juice; many of the nutrients found in most fruits are more valuable when you eat them raw rather than in juice, which can lose a lot of fiber and therefore contain more sugar. Today we present five facts you should know to choose between your fruit or morning juice. Always pulp When you eat a fruit like an orange, tangerine, or grapefruit, you are also ingesting its pulp, which is where important flavonoids that help your immune system are found. That’s why, preferably, you should eat the fruit raw, but if you prefer juice, make sure it contains the fruit's pulp so that important nutrients are not lost in the process. Fruit salad Fiber Much of what is found inside the fruit that is not the pulp or the flesh itself is fiber. Those white structures you see inside lemons and oranges are excellent for your gastrointestinal system. What happens when you only use the juice from the fruits is that you leave behind a significant amount of fiber that could help you maintain much healthier stomach regularity.

Fruit provides energy because it always contains a bit of sugar, but it is balanced with its other nutrients. If you only drink the juice, and worse, if it is processed, you are not consuming a healthy product as one might believe; on the contrary, you are putting glucose and few vitamins into your body. Fruits with cottage cheese The skin This part of the fruit is often undervalued, but the skin of apples, cherries, peaches, and other fruits with edible exteriors is very beneficial. Studies have indicated that the skin of grapes and other fruits even helps prevent diseases such as cancer, as they contain important nutrients that are created from the fruit’s exterior coming into contact with the sun.

On the other hand, if you make your juice at home with a machine, you ensure that you retain the maximum positive characteristics. Moreover, when making juice by mixing fruit with vegetables, the fiber from the ingredients is retained much better, making it more beneficial. Healthy green juice
