Raw natural juices have a unique effect on our health. They have general strengthening and refreshing properties, and also act as biogenic stimulants, increasing efficiency. Natural juices are so useful for human health because they practically do not require energy costs for absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, they immediately “turn on” metabolism, activate biochemical processes in the body, and this has a beneficial effect on its recovery.
Properties of natural juices
Almost all vegetable juices correct the acid-base balance of human blood, which is disturbed during tedious work. This is due to the presence of alkaline residues in them. Juices provide an increase in enzyme activity and metabolism, as well as neutralize the so-called “fatigue toxins” and remove them from the body.
It is worth noting that the plants on the basis of which natural juices are produced, themselves, to one degree or another, have one of the above properties and retain them in juices for human health. So, juices from the fruits of Chinese magnolia vine help to better endure adverse environmental conditions. Carrot and sea buckthorn juices have powerful antioxidant properties. Gooseberry and grape juices are rich in organic acids and stimulate metabolism. In the composition of licorice juice there are phytohormones, and most of all pectins contain carrot, apple and beet nectars, that is, juices with pulp. Pectins are able to bind the products of fermentation and putrefaction in the intestines, so they are very beneficial for health and increase its efficiency.

What is the difference between different types of juices?
Vegetable juices contain less organic acids, and therefore they taste more insipid. However, they contain more minerals, such as potassium, sodium, calcium, iron and others. In addition, it is natural vegetable juices that can more effectively restore the human body in crisis situations.
Fruit juices are usually more caloric, as they contain more sugar, but they can perfectly cleanse our body. In addition, with significant physical exertion, fruit juices are good to combine with juices from vegetables. So, the fastest and most affordable product for recovery after tedious work are beets and carrots in the form of juice. Both of them contain a lot of substances useful for human health.

How to use juice correctly?
So, how to take juices so that they have not only a refreshing effect on our body, but also a healing one? It is necessary to adhere to a simple rule: with reduced or normal acidity of the stomach, juice should be drunk 30-40 minutes before a meal. And with increased acidity of the stomach, it is recommended to drink a glass of juice 1.5 hours before meals. To get tangible results, it is desirable to carry out juice therapy for at least 2-3 weeks. And if you do not have medicinal purposes, it is good to drink natural juices every day.
Sometimes juices that help to lose weight and remove toxins from the body are used for fasting days. To do this, use 1.5-2 liters of different juices. When making juice at home, keep in mind that even a short period of storage of this product in the refrigerator speeds up the fermentation process and leads to spoilage, although the appearance and taste of the juice may not change.

Which natural juice to choose?
First of all, you should know that only freshly prepared juices have a truly beneficial effect on the body and human health. The action of canned juices from cardboard boxes, glass bottles and iron cans is less active. Although they are not inferior to natural fresh juices in terms of mineral content. That is why, when choosing canned juices in the store, pay attention to the name of the drink. If the word “drink” is indicated, this means that the drink contains only 10-15% of the juice itself, everything else is water, preservatives, dyes and citric acid. The composition of nectars includes 50% juice and all of the above ingredients. Sometimes on the package you can read: “100% juice.” But you should not be deceived here either, since such juices are also prepared from concentrated products with the addition of sugar and water.

When buying juice, you should pay special attention to its expiration date. Often the corresponding numbers are indicated on the packages. If there is only one date, then this is the expiration date, if there are two, then they indicate the time of release of the product and the end of its sale.
If you need to stock up on juices for future use, then try to observe the temperature regime of storage: no higher than 20 degrees with an air humidity of no more than 65%. AND, Finally, pay attention to the juice packaging itself. If it is swollen or dented, if the lid is not tightly closed, or has other defects, do not purchase such a product under any circumstances.
