\"fruit<\/p>\n

Fruits are natural laxatives, diuretics and fat burners. They are a powerhouse of fiber, energy, vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants. Fruits also contain enzymes like digestive enzymes. Digestive enzymes help to break down protein, carbohydrates and fats into smaller components. Common types are amylase, protease and lipase. These enzymes have an anti-inflammatory mechanism, and may help your body during healing of burns.\u00a0A bite from your favorite fruit in the morning is sure to keep you rejuvenated, but today more and more people are switching to fruit juice instead of fruit.<\/p>\n

So, should you opt for the whole fruit or fruit juice? Read on to find out:<\/p>\n

THE GOOD ABOUT JUICE<\/b><\/h1>\n

Convenient<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this fast moving world, juices are convenient way of consuming more amounts of fruits. The main benefit of juicing is that they are easy to consume, hassle free and can be had anytime anywhere.<\/p>\n

Easy To Absorb <\/strong><\/p>\n

Juices are comparatively easy to absorb. If you have a glass of fruit juice your body will be able to absorb all the amazing nutrients of the juice quicker. Juices are a must have during days of scorching heat when you need instant energy.<\/p>\n

THE BAD ABOUT JUICE<\/b><\/h2>\n

High Sugar Content<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fruit juice isn\u2019t the same as intact fruit and it has got as much sugar as many classical sugar drinks. It is also absorbed very fast so by the time it gets to your stomach your body doesn\u2019t know whether it\u2019s a soft drink or orange juice.<\/p>\n

Less Fiber<\/strong><\/p>\n

Juice contains very less fibre and more sugar which do more harm than good. Most of the fiber comes from skins and peels of the fruit which is very good for health. Juice is mostly devoid of the essential nutrients and fiber that is stored in these peels.<\/p>\n

Preservatives<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canned fruit juices are loaded with preservatives to increase their shelf life which are not very healthy for your overall well being.<\/p>\n

THE GOOD ABOUT FRUIT<\/b><\/h2>\n

Rich In Nutrients<\/b><\/p>\n

Nothing compares to having whole fruits. It keeps all the nutrients intact, prevents any damage caused by processing and gives you all the benefits that the fruit has to offer. Many of the nutrients and vitamins<\/a> are sensitive to heat and processing and are lost when you have fruit juices instead of the fruit. If you are not a fan of fruits but still want to enjoy the health benefits of dietary fiber, then you can blend the fruit into a smoothie and enjoy it.<\/p>\n

Packed With Fiber<\/strong><\/p>\n

Preferring whole fruit makes you get all the dietary fiber- both soluble and insoluble types. The combined health benefits of dietary fiber are reduced cholesterol, lower blood pressure<\/a>, improved insulin sensitivity, appetite control, less digestive problems and lesser obesity issues.<\/p>\n

THE BAD ABOUT FRUIT<\/b><\/h2>\n

Inconvenient<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having the fruit rather than the juice involves a lot of time and effort which is not always possible.But with the countless benefits that fruits have to offer, it is worth the hassle. \u00a0Juices become an option when you would like to have the fruit benefits but still have to rush for your next agenda.<\/p>\n

Not Very Travel Friendly<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is next to impossible to carry large amounts of fruits during travel but you can readily pack your fresh fruit juices into air-tight bottles. When going to work, you can take the whole fruit and have it instead of slicing it up and having it later. That takes away some of the nutrients from it.<\/p>\n

THE VERDICT<\/strong><\/p>\n

-According to several studies and various nutritional experts, fruit is a much healthier option than juice.So it\u2019s better to eat the fruit than drink the juice!<\/p>\n

-Studies show that people who include 3-4 servings of fresh fruits in their diet daily are less likely to have chronic diseases such as Type 2 diabetes, certain types of cancers, hypertension and heart problems.<\/p>\n

-If you still want to have your daily glass of juice opt for home made smoothies that include the peels and fiber or cold pressed juices instead of canned ones.<\/p>\n

-So grab your fruit salad and relish it as you are bound to get the extra vigor you need for your day!<\/p>\n
