The World Health Organization strongly reminds us that every day we should eat five servings of fruits and vegetables. Moreover, a portion is not a kilogram or a full plate, but only 100 grams, says KP. That is, half an apple or tomato, one cucumber, bell pepper or pear and so on. Also, WHO experts recommend replacing one of the servings of fresh vegetables or fruit with a glass of juice if there is no possibility to eat fresh. For example, at lunch, as a snack between lunch and dinner. And what juice to choose, you decide. To help determine and international research scientists.

Fruit - for the heart and blood vessels

Dutch scientists from three research institutes (National Institute of Public Health and the Environment, Medical Center of the University of Utrecht and The Hague University of Applied Sciences) conducted a large-scale study on the effect of fruit juices on the human cardiovascular system.

Over the years, 14 scientists have studied the diet more than 30 thousands of people aged from 20 to 60 years. The study showed that drinking about seven glasses of fruit juices per week (that is, a glass each day) reduced the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, stroke and coronary heart disease in participants.

This is not surprising - most of the fruits from which juices are made have a set of antioxidants that have a beneficial effect on the health of the human heart and blood vessels. In addition, in some types of vegetables or fruits, after heat treatment (for juices, this is pasteurization), the level of antioxidants increases. For example, in tomato, pineapple, etc. Scientists also note that fresh pineapple can cause allergies due to the very high content of vitamin C. And during pasteurization of the juice, vitamin C is partially destroyed. But at the same time, almost a daily dose of this vitamin, necessary for the heart and immunity, is still preserved in a glass of pineapple juice.

Of course, nutritionists do not recommend drinking more than one glass of fruit juice per day - fructose from juices is absorbed faster than from fresh fruit, and there is significantly less fiber in them. There is a risk to gain extra pounds if you drink more than two glasses of sweet juice per day.

And, of course, in no case should you sit down on a juice mono-diet, which can harm the body due to a lack of proteins and an imbalance in the water-electrolyte balance.

Vegetable juices - fashion trend for weight loss

To help losing weight come vegetable juices. And not only freshly squeezed, for example, celery and carrot, but ready-made mixes of vegetables, for example, tomato-beet. Many slimming stars replace one of the meals with a glass of vegetable juice: it has enough fiber, as well as minerals and trace elements that help maintain the necessary electrolyte balance in the body.

Most of the stars, from Naomi Campbell and Gwyneth Paltrow to Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvestre Stallone, prefer to drink freshly squeezed celery juice. And the stars themselves, and their doctors will assure: it helps fight skin diseases, supports immunity and the right weight, relieves fatigue, and even helps from migraines and psoriasis. For example, Kim Karadashian periodically cleans his skin with a celery juice-based diet, drinking two glasses a day on an empty stomach.

Cherry juice will help for insomnia and pain

Recent studies by scientists from different countries prove that plant melatonin is contained in cherry juice, which helps normalize sleep. Also, experts are increasingly saying that cherry juice helps to recuperate after a workout, relieve pain, and has an anti-inflammatory effect. The Russian Union of Juice Producers, together with the FITS “FITS Nutrition and Biotechnology”, conducted a study of cherry juice and found out that it contains more than 30 food and biologically active substances that make this product unique.

Cherry practically does not contain sucrose, has a high content of sorbitol, organic acids, is rich in mineral and polyphenolic compounds.

Research has shown that cherry juice contains many polyphenolic compounds - flavonoids, represented mainly by anthocyanins, and hydroxycinnamic acids. These substances are powerful antioxidants and help the body fight the adverse effects of the environment. Also, cherry juice contains many minerals: potassium, magnesium, copper and manganese.

It was found that the content of flavonoids in a portion of cherry nectar is about 15% of the required daily dose, anthocyanins - 20%, and the content of hydroxycinnamic acids even exceeds it. A portion of nectar contains on average 10% of the human body's daily requirement for copper and manganese, 6% for potassium and 3% for magnesium.
