The Healthiest Juices of All
The Florida Department of Citrus
In a time when consumers are flooded with so many confusing beverage health claims, 100 percent pure orange juice and Ruby Red grapefruit juice once again stand out as nutritional champions.
A new study shows citrus juices provide more nutrients per calorie than other commonly consumed 100 percent fruit juices such as apple, grape, pineapple and prune. The nutrient-density study, published the Journal of Food Science, offers another compelling reason why citrus juices deliver the most bang for the nutritional buck.
"Fruit juices vary considerably in the quantity of nutrients per calorie," explains author Gail Rampersaud of the University of Florida. "The study uncovered just how much better the nutrient profiles of 100 percent grapefruit and orange juice are than other commonly consumed fruit juices."
Citrus juices earned the highest nutrient-density scores because compared to other juices in the analysis they are lower in calories and higher in essential nutrients including:
Vitamin C: Orange and grapefruit juices have the highest level of one of the most powerful antioxidants, vitamin C. The vitamin works to neutralize free radicals to help fight cell and tissue damage that could lead to diseases.
Potassium: After prune juice, citrus juices have the highest level of potassium which plays an important role in cardiovascular health.
Folate: Orange juice contained the highest amount of folate. Folate has been associated with reducing the risk for certain birth defects and may help lower homocysteine levels in the body. Homocysteine, an amino acid in the blood, has been associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease and cognitive impairment, when high levels exist.
Citrus fruit juices tended to be equal to or higher in vitamin A, thiamin and phosphorous when compared to other juices in the analysis.
The study, co-funded by the University of Florida and the Florida Department of Citrus, used six methodologies to quantify the nutrient density of seven commonly consumed 100 percent juices including apple, grape, orange, pineapple, pink (Ruby Red) grapefruit, prune and white grapefruit. Pink grapefruit juice had the highest nutrient-density score based on all methods except one, where orange juice had a slightly higher score. Orange juice ranked second in all other methods. White grapefruit juice ranked third in all six methods.
The claims of these juices are a hoax.
None of them are as good as the berries themselves. I would suggest you juice raw vegies and fruits you'll get a higher level of good stuff. I have a vita-mix and that works well. I get the good properties of the foods and the fiber, etc.
The best?
Buy a juicer and make your own juice!
Put in your own fruits and veggies!
or:
Buy a good blender and make smoothies. You get all the pulp, the juice, the whole nutrition, with no additives!
The healthiest juice is if you make it yourself. They are very easy to make and all you need is a blender and some of your favorite fruits and veggies.Carrot juice is my favorite. If you have no time to make your own look for the organic kind. I really like naked juice, the green machine tastes really good, is all natural, and packed with vitamins and minerals.
Pomegranate juice is really good for you.
My family juices every morning, and it is a good idea to use a variety. Also, most juicers come with a guide with recipes and which fruits and vegetables contain which vitamins and minerals. I use that guide often, so depending on the needs of my family, I make a juice that best suites each person's needs.
Noni Juice is also supposed to be excellent. Google it and you will find it.
home-made juices taste the best and healtiest too. add vegies like celery and fruits like starfruit and carrot, apple, it taste really great.
That would depend on you and what your body may be lacking. I have a juicer and I believe that fresh juice that you make is the best. To know your body to get a good book on juicing and to juice fresh fruits and vegetables that you need. Is the healthiest juice.
