Obtaining all the nutrients from Juices II
Hi Friends,
Let us go ahead and discuss about the nutrients from juices.
There is a special method for drinking juice. It should not be gulped. It should be drunk slowly with a spoon or with small draughts. This process helps to mix juice with the saliva. The digestive juices which the saliva contains help to digest sugar contained in juice. Thus, the juice which goes into stomach is then digested within 20 to 25 minutes. When juices are consumed for the purpose of health or cure of disease, do not add sugar, pepper or salt for taste or liking. The addition of condiments to juice is injurious to health. Furthermore, these conditions adversely affect the precious nutrients of juices. If you dislike the taste of the juice of one of the vegetables, you can add some lemon juice or any fruit juice to it.
Canned or bottled juices are useless for those who desire to get the maximum benefits from the juice diet because the process made on such juices and their preservation destroy almost their live nutrients. Furthermore, certain harmful preservations and chemicals are added to them. Canned or bottled juices are referred to as 'fresh'. But it signifies that the juices have been extracted from fresh fruits. Thus, juices, even if extracted from fresh fruits, lose their live nutrients when they are preserved. Hence we should not mistake such juices for fresh.
Most of the canned or bottled juices are mixed with chemicals such as sugar, salt and others. Consequently, their original color, taste, flavour etc. are retained and spoilage is prevented. The most commonly used preservatives for canned or bottled juices are benzoic acid, sulphuric acid or sorbic acid. All these chemicals are injurious to health. Heating is one of the principal processes made on fruit-juices for the purposes of preservation. Heating destroys most of the nutrients contained in fruit juices.
From the point of view of Vitamin content fresh and tinned juices are miles apart. That can be seen from two examples. The vitamin 'C' content in fresh carrot juice is 8 mg while that in canned juice is only 2 mg. Similarly, the vitamin 'C' content in fresh spinach juice is 51 mg, while that in canned juice is only 14 mg. By consuming canned or bottled juices, chemicals contained in them would perhaps cause ulcer, kidney diseases, dental carries, cancer etc. So, if freshly extracted juices of seasonal fruits and vegetables are consume, they will be beneficial to health and cure of disease.

In our next post, we will discuss about method for extracting the juice.
