Drink a glass of fresh juice every day!

Do you have to choose between fruit juice and water?

Many people today are wondering whether they should drink fruit juice vs water. In all fairness, both are good for you, and choosing one over the other is simply not sensible. Instead of trying to make this kind of choice, it is smart to compare the relative benefits of each and make a wise decision.


There are lots of good reasons to drink pure, filtered water!


Human beings and other living creatures on earth are composed of mostly water. When you are not well hydrated, you suffer lack of function in body, mind and spirit. Every cell in your body needs ample fresh, pure water to function properly.


The old adage of drinking eight-eight-ounce glasses of water every day still applies today. Your body needs at least this much water in a pure form to keep your skin well moisturized and healthy, your nerve synapses firing properly, your joints moving smoothly and without pain, and your digestive system functioning effectively and efficiently. Drinking lots of pure, clean water keeps your system flushed of toxins and helps you avoid illnesses ranging from the common cold to cancers of every sort.


For all of these reasons, all human beings should avail themselves of ample amounts of pure, fresh water. Investing in a filtration pitcher and reusable stainless steel water container will enable you to enjoy the best pure water at an extremely affordable cost.


There are also lots of good reasons to drink pure, freshly pressed or squeezed fruit juices!


Fresh, pure fruit juice also helps you stay hydrated and provides cancer fighting anti-oxidants, nutrition and some fiber. It is surely a much better choice in beverages than soda, which you should avoid like the plague! Drinking freshly prepared fruit juice is an excellent way to take in a great deal of nourishment in a small amount of liquid because it can take a mountain of fresh fruits and veggies to produce a medium sized glass of juice.


You should not drink fruit juice instead of water. Fruit juice contains quite a bit of sugar. Even though this is natural fructose, it is still possible to overdo it. This can cause problems with your metabolism and even exacerbate conditions such as diabetes. Be moderate in your consumption of fruit juice. One or two eight-ounce glasses a day will enhance your overall fitness level. More may be detrimental.


There is no need to make an all-or-nothing choice!


Fruit juice vs water is simply a wrong-headed choice! You need both for optimum health. Be sure to drink plenty of pure, filtered water for good hydration and excellent overall health and functioning. Enjoy a glass or two of pure, fresh juice (or commercial juice that is 100% juice with no sugar added) on a daily basis for added nutrition and health benefits.
