Is V8 as healthy as they say?!
Question: Is V8 as healthy as they say!?
I find it hard to get in at least 6-8 servings of veggies a day, and so I chug a v8 in the morning to knock out 2 servings!.!.!.are they really as healthy as they say!? Should I be worried about the sodium content!? It has 690mg of sodium, and 14 carbs, is that too many for one can!? I mean is it worth it or should i just try to get in more REAL veggies!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

The more accurate term is "healthier" than other canned drinks!.
V-8 has alot of salt and there are preservatives, too!.
I like it and drink it, but I know I could do better if I juiced fruits & veggies myself!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes V-8 is healthy, better than soda or any other fruit drink!. You really should try to eat fresh vegetables, if not fresh, then frozen!. Stay away from can vegetables, very high content of sodium!. Speaking of sodium, try the low sodium or no sodium V-8 juice and only drink 4-6 oz a day, the rest should be in fresh fruit and vegetables!. There really is no substitute for fresh fruit and vegetable when it comes to your daily requirements!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Hi there,
I love V8 and was really pleased to know about a drink that could help with my portions of veg per day that actually tasted good, but then I looked at the salt content like you did and realised that 1 glass is 10% of our recommended daily allowance, so I only stick to 1 or 2 glasses a day now and eat natural fruit and veg aswell!.
If you don't like the taste that much and would prefer to eat real fruit and veg then do that instead, if you decide to stick with V8, stick to 1 or 2 normal glasses a day!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I try to eat as many real veggies as possible, but I also drink a scoop of this every day!. It's super healthy and I feel a difference, unlike with V8!. This stuff has given me so much energy and improved my overall health!. And everything is natural - so no high calories, sodium, etc!. You can buy it at whole foods, although you can usually find it cheaper online!.

I have used the low sodium V8 for quite some time now as part of a healthy diet, and its not hurting because i have lost 30 lbs! I normally carry 2 small V8 cans with me to have at various times during the day!. I have even been known to pour it over a ton sliced cucumber and eat it!.!.yummy! Of course the more fresh veggies you can get the better, but the V8 is quick and easy to transport!Www@Answer-Health@Com
It has lots of sodium!. V-8 is like everything else!. If you don't over due it you will be fine!. try to balance out your veggies with ones that due not have too much sodium or too much sugar!. 8 cans is 5600 mg!. does that answer your question!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
yeah v8 isn't really natue as it says it is!. I would buy your own veggies and blend them that's the best thing to do , that way you don't have to worry about your drinks being hacked with all the unnecessary ingredientsWww@Answer-Health@Com
I think they sell a low sodium V8 so I would go with that one!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
