Episode notes
Choosing Cold-Pressed Juice
- Choose cold-pressed juices for fresher taste and higher nutrient retention compared to traditional pasteurized juice.
- Be aware most cold-pressed juices undergo high-pressure processing for safety and longer shelf life.
Juicing Vs Whole Fruits Fiber Impact
- Juicing removes fiber, which slows sugar absorption and promotes fullness, benefits lost in juice form.
- A 16-ounce juice can contain as much sugar as a soda, impacting blood sugar similarly.
Limits of Vegetable Intake Benefits
- Consuming more than five servings of vegetables daily does not necessarily confer additional health benefits.
- Excess antioxidants may not be utilized effectively, and overconsumption could be harmful.
