What's the difference between eating fruits and juicing fruits?

(Najamuddin Ghanghro, Karachi (Original from Larkana))

It is common concept ( at least in our society) that using fruit juices are more beneficial than eating the (same) fruits but according to health/nutrition point of view the fact is reverse. For this u can understand it by reading the following article.

What's the difference between eating fruits and juicing fruits?

Eating fruits is far more beneficial than juicing them.

Fruit juice is more of a treat. The thing we must remember is that a sugar is a sugar is a sugar, no matter what the form or origin of the sugar is.

When you juice fruits, you are essentially creating a processed food. While the fruit juice may originate from a whole fruit, it is now processed. As a result, the nutrients in the fruit are now released quickly into the body and this includes the sugar.

When you juice fruits, it is easier to juice more fruits than what you can actually eat. So in addition to processing the fruits, you are now taking in more fruit by juicing as opposed to eating. So not only does the processing make the sugar content go higher and faster, but now you are essentially consuming more fruits in the juice form.

When you eat a fruit, it takes about 30 minutes or so for digestion, while juice happens essentially immediately.

So when you eat a fruit, the sugar and nutrients are released fairly fast, but nowhere near as fast as with juicing. That's why eating fruits still gives you some quick energy. But the whole fruits also help to cleanse your body... the lymphatic system, the colon, the kidneys, etc. Fruits are the cleansers of the body.

So yes, stick to eating fruits more than juicing them. It's still okay to have some lemon and apple juice on a hot day for its nice cooling effect, but we don't want to make a habit of it.

Since fruits are easily digested anyway, we don't really need to juice them.

The act of juicing helps to release the nutrition so we can more easily get the nutrients. If we all had perfect digestion and healthy diets, then we wouldn't really need juicing at all.

But with fruits, they are easy to digest and easy to eat. So juicing fruits doesn't really have as much benefit as juicing vegetables. Additionally, when we juice fruits we loose the natural cleansing ability of the fruits.

So focus on juicing vegetables with fruit juice as a treat. Eat fruits, juice vegetables.
