Freshly squeezed juices are considered a “healthy” alternative to packaged juices. Is it so?
Freshly squeezed juices are not always as healthy and good as they say. How they can harm your health was explained by Adrienne Yudim, MD, from Beverly Hills.
Increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. For people with high blood sugar levels, freshly squeezed juices are contraindicated. Scientists conducted a study and concluded that drinking 100 percent fruit juice increases the likelihood of developing diabetes by 16%.
Kidney damage. If you have chronic kidney disease, your kidneys will not be able to remove potassium from your body. This condition is dangerous because it can lead to serious heart problems.
Food poisoning. Cold-pressed juices contain many more health-promoting ingredients than pasteurized juices. True, they are much easier to poison.
Weight. Freshly squeezed juices cannot help you lose weight, and some may even gain weight.
Malnutrition. Juicing cannot be compared to eating fruits and vegetables. They contain only carbohydrates, there are no fats or proteins.
Fiber deficiency. By giving up whole fruits and switching to juices, you will lose precious fiber. You will only get vitamin C from juices.
Drop in blood sugar levels. Freshly squeezed juices lead not only to an increase in blood sugar levels, but also to a sharp drop. That’s why many people get headaches following drinking juices.
Interaction with drugs. They are incompatible with many medications. Those who take medications that lower cholesterol and blood pressure need to be especially careful. The thing is that juice can enhance the effect of drugs and their side effects.
Waste of money. Still, the habit of drinking juice is quite expensive.
