Perfect Breakfast\u00a0Option<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-Bottle gourd is <strong>rich in fiber and hence a glass of juice will keep you from hunger pangs<\/strong> for a long time to go. As it contains plenty of water, it is convenient to extract a lot of juice from it.<\/p>\n<p>-The <strong>juice should be extracted without straining else most of the fiber will be removed<\/strong>.

Keeps You Hydrated\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-More than 50% of bottle gourd is just water. The vegetable not only supplies you with health vitamins, it also fills you with water and is a <strong>good choice for keeping you hydrated<\/strong> all throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>-During hot summer days, lauki juice <strong>helps to replace the lost water content. <\/strong>It also controls extreme thirst which is common among people who suffer from diabetes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4 . Curbs Your Appetite<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-Studies suggest that having the juice of bottle gourd first thing in the morning<strong> fills you with all the healthy minerals.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-Rich in fiber and water, it helps you to feel full for longer hours and keeps you away from overeating and unhealthy snacks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5 . Helps In Detoxification<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-Bottle gourd is known to be <strong>extremely useful for detoxifying the human body<\/strong>. You can have the juice of bottle gourd mixed with mint leaves and coriander.<\/p>\n<p>-Regular intake of bottle gourd helps the body get rid of harmful toxins naturally.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6 . Post Workout Diet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-If you are gym freak, lauki juice is your best choice for a healthy alternative to any synthetic drinks that you can think of post workout.<\/p>\n<p>-What you drink after you sweat can have major implications on muscle building and fat loss.
