Fruit Juice: Is it healthy?

In my experience, for the majority of my clients fruit juices are best avoided as they are too high in sugar. With all the fibre extracted, the concentrated fruit sugar has a particularly powerful negative impact on insulin and blood sugar control. Sugar flooding into your bloodstream causes a strong insulin surge that rapidly lowers blood sugar and increases fat storage.

However, vegetable juices, as long as they are freshly made, are recommended in moderation. One glass, three to four times per week can be a great way of getting nutrients into your diet. Try combining carrots, celery and spinach for a delicious juice, by making it yourself you will realise that you will never get the same tasting juice twice!
