In today's society, where the rush and quickly determine all our habits, food has been clearly influenced.
One of these habits is observed that over consumption of juices. All we have to take a juice packaging is the same as take raw fruit, with all the nutritional benefits that these have, as their high vitamin and mineral (and therefore high in antioxidants), its low calorie content and the advantage that they do not have to peel them or divide them, we just open and serve. Not only that, but it is also how we are teaching our children to eat fruit. Defraudaros feel, but this is not true, one could say that in many cases it is more harmful to health taking them than without them and now I will comment on that.
If the composition analizáis most of the juices from the market, these are from concentrates, to which is added water, sugar, and sometimes a vitamin, to give a value intentarles of healthy subject. But I have you to remember that diabetes is a disease that is growing more in the Western world, and the excessive consumption of our famous carbohydrates, and more specifically of the sugar found in many processed foods.
In a study conducted in the United States were analyzed to people consuming these sugary juices an average of twice a day had an incidence of 31% of type 2 diabetes than those who consumed it. The result was almost the same as those who consumed conventional sugary drinks. Note that the contribution of these juices are extra calories to the meal, and sugar added is one of the worst foods you can include the advertising campaign that sugar is a must is a manipulation, which again suffer the consumer interests.
The brain uses glucose, not sugar, glucose and this we can get plenty of food, what is the difference between raw fruit juices and I can eat? for mainly two:
- The fruit contains fructose and sugar. Fructose is not insulin, ie insulin I segregated assimilation, so that would not affect diabetes.
- The raw fruit contains plenty of fiber, which we know is good for slow intestinal transit and absorption of food.
So eating fruit and educate your children in the habit of eating fruit. If you want to from time to time you can give a juice packaging, but with two conditions, look at the label that contains no sugar, and the second containing the pulp, which is the fruit fiber. They are considerably more expensive as you will see, but I think our health and our bodies are worth it.
Hello, I find very interesting this ... I used to take any juice in addition to those that look like water, which should not be too sanoss ... but someone recommended "fruit essential" because they ensure equivalent to 100% to eat the piece of fresh fruit . The truth is I have to say another type of juice </ a, we note that is "fruit water". Also, I got into the site and apparently you debug in 10 days and well, as they have a lot of benefits, so now I take that and now I feel great!
[...] Is whether you will agree, but in line with what jlabrador commented in his recent article on packaged juices and taking into account also the father of two kids, I am sincerely concerned about the [...]
It's amazing how little by little our society is eating less and less fresh fruit, fewer and fewer fresh vegetables and our children learn healthy habits where these products are relegated to unhealthy muffins, juices packaged, prepared by the very healthy milk or yogurt, which although much choice, you should never replace the fruit, but to complement it.
I recommend this link Fruits and Veggies More Matters .
If you drink juice with pulp and sugar free, you pick the right choice. Pulp containing the notes when you eat and what to sugar free you have to trust what you put into the container. The control system is not exactly happen, but I think the ministry will carry out checks and consumer associations. Especially if it is a known brand. But surely I can tell you no.
Amaya as the natural and there is nothing much you say ...
well, well ... interesting, once again it is clear that we are victims of marketing and advertising which together with our consumer society and comfort unchecked, leads us to buy products that are neither cheaper, and is seen not are the same as the fresh.
In this regard discuss a very recent advertising campaign, where referring to the crisis and the high price of fresh produce, you consume a gazpacho invited packaged under the slogan of being the same and much cheaper than you could make at home Fortunately, some are scandalized even with these things related to food, but there are few things that shocked us and are equally important.
Jlabrador. I just did dust. For one thing I enjoy breakfast ..... I have found that the mine contains pulp and clearly says "no sugar added".
The question is .... do you trust the package? .. Who controls it be?
