With the fast pace of modern life, it is very easy to forget that what we drink can affect our health. And, even though we know the benefits of eating fruits, we often tend to push it to the bottom of our priority list. But what about freshly squeezed juices?

I think one sip from a fresh fruit juice and you will be amazed by its flavour, colour and texture. So, if you are curious, let’s learn more about some benefits of freshly squeezed juices.

#1. Raw Health

Let me tell you that once you have tasted the freshly squeezed juices at Shakes Juice and Ice Cream Bar, you will instantly realize that nothing has been added or taken away. They are just 100 % pure and fresh juices. And, even though it is indicated that drinking freshly squeezed juice is not the same as eating whole fruit, I think it is still better to drink 100% fruit juice than soda pop or fruit-flavoured beverages.

#2. Antioxidants

You may have heard of antioxidant nutrients in newspapers, magazine reports and documentaries. But what are they exactly? They are substances that can prevent damage to your cells that may be caused by free radicals, which are unstable atoms that can cause aging and illness and freshly squeezed juices are packed with these antioxidants.

#3. Hydration

I think even a five-year-old knows that fresh juice can provide our bodies with a large amount of water. This will help your body produce energy and keep your metabolism active and promote the elasticity and health of your skin.

#4. Natural Sugar and No Preservatives

Do you know how much-added sugars and sweeteners can be found in processed juices? And do you know how many calories these juices then add to your diet?

One of the main benefits of freshly squeezed juice is that it is filled with natural sugars that can help your body to produce energy. Moreover, some studies indicated that fructose, the natural sugar found in fruits, can normalize blood sugar levels and prevent you from feeling hungry again soon after eating.

Besides, by drinking fresh fruit juices, you avoid many other processed ingredients found in processed juices, such as corn syrup, food colouring, etc.

#5. Weight Loss

Do you know how many people lost weight due to fresh fruit juices?

For those who haven’t heard of juice feasting, let me tell you that it refers to a long-term consumption of fresh fruit juices and this practice has gained much popularity in the world. Juice feasting is favored by many as it can not only cleanse the body of old toxins but can also help to lose weight. According to one report, many people who feasted on fresh fruit juices claimed that they had lost approximately 9 pounds per week.

#6. Fresh Fruit Juices Can Reduce Cravings

Honestly, do you think we can count how many times we have craved for some snacks during the day? Not me! But we all know that it is said that snacking in between meals is unhealthy. But there is one solution: fresh fruit juices!

One of the true wonders of freshly squeezed juices is that it can curb your cravings.

#7. Prevention and Protection

When you drink a freshly squeezed juice, you are drinking it in its most natural and unprocessed form. This can help to prevent many ailments and contribute to a good health. For example, did you know that drinking citrus juices twice or thrice a week can help to prevent kidney stones?

If these reasons are enough to get you to switch your beverage preference and choose fresh fruit juices, I recommend you check out Shakes Juice and Ice Cream Bar!
