Natural Juices

First, a clarification. Although for decades we were told that having a glass of orange juice for breakfast was the healthiest thing in the world. The truth is that doctors now tell us that it is best to eat the whole fruit, raw and hopefully with the peel. It’s not wrong to drink fruit juices in general. But as long as these concoctions are as natural as possible. That is, without added sugar and with the least amount of preservatives.

For the same reason, with a few exceptions. We must forget about non-refrigerated long-life juices, and it is also worth giving priority to those that contain pulp (cells) over the completely filtered ones. And another thing that is more or less clear. There are no magical processes to cleanse the body and fewer diets to lose weight that can be done only based on the intake of juices, no matter how natural. After all this. We must not forget that fruit juices —although not miraculous— are still healthy, wealthy, and nutritious. So it is convenient to know which are the best we can get on the market.

Thanks to the abundant supply of imported juices offered by supermarkets. We can find squeezed oranges from countries such as the United States, France, and Spain. Most of them are pretty good —like classic Florida’s Natural— and at prices —with international treaties— sometimes even better than national ones of similar quality. That is, fresh (not long life) and without added sugar.
