Many Americans now-a-days, are skipping the fruit choice for fake artificial fruit. My point exactly is the whole deal with apple juice. Millions of parents purchase apple juices or other fruit juices because they believe they are benefiting their children but they are wrong. Naturally flavored fruit juices are not so natural than you may think. A simple fruit juice can carry from 28-36 grams of sugar, that's equivalent to a coke can that carries 32 grams of sugar. That's the daily amount of sugar your body needs in one single day. Can you imagine all the excess sugar you are consuming by having just one bottle of juice?
But that's not it, many americans do not just drink one bottle and then simply go to water, oh no sir! Many will more than likely drink another bottle so you double your sugar intake that will then store as fat in your body and will not benefit your excretory system by trying to clean out all the toxins in your body. Your body will naturally store anything extra that it does not need in an area of your body and sugar can serve as a fat. In other words you are just adding more work for your body and more unnecessary sugar amounts that will leave your body feeling fatigue and tired; less energy. And just when you thought that a simple "fruit juice" would boost your energy. Be wise and go raw. If you want the energy, the essential nutrients, the natural sugar, then get it straight from the source; buy fruit. Buy apples, oranges, bananas, mangoes, strawberries, grapes, etc.
You can even satisfy your sweet tooth buy buying blueberries and storing them in the freezer for about an hour and a half, and you can have frozen berries melt in your mouth. We need to take action and so no to artificial and bring in the raw source. our bodies need 2-4 servings a fruit a day. You may think, well how can i do that? How can I fit in 4 servings of fruit into a hectic schedule? Easy, pack a fruit for every meal you eat. For breakfast, you can eat one medium size raw banana. With the potassium and essential vitamins and minerals a banana carries, it can give you that extra boost for your hectic day ahead of you without the drowsy tired feeling a sugary danish or cappuccino would give you. For your lunch take in your daily fiber by having an apple and for dessert you can have fresh cut strawberries!There are so many choices and believe it or not, fruit helps you fight many diseases such as reducing your risk of ever having a stroke, and perhaps other problems involving cardiovascular. Saving you money in return, which is god for your health, your wallet, and for your generation of future kids to come. Fruit is nature's gift that we should not use as a display, but take advantage of its health benefits it offers to our bodies and mind.
Over all think wise. Next time you are at any grocery store or restaurant, choose the raw way not the sugary artificial "fruit" drink that in the end might risk your body status of having a health disease to come.
