The Benefits of Juice

Many kids don't like eating fruit, so offering fruit juice is one way to get your child the 2 (for younger kids) to 4 servings (older kids) of fruit that is recommended in the Food Pyramid Guide.

Raw juice helps in detoxifying the body. Juice can be taken at any hour during the day or night.

Antioxidants substances in juice may protect cells from the damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals.

They do this by interacting with and stabilizing free radicals, and in the process may prevent some of the damage that free radicals otherwise might cause.

Juice therapy is very effective, as it removes the flaws from the body from their roots. Unlike drugs, it has no side effects and is no know to damage any part of the body.

It is important to remember that the recommended servings of fruit juice are actually limits. Your child does not need to drink any fruit juice, especially if he is getting the Food Guide Pyramid's recommended servings of fruit by eating whole fruit.

Fruit juice can be helpful for children who are constipated and fruit juice diluted with fluoridated water is a good way to get your child fluoride if he doesn't like to drink plain water.

Ideally it is best to drink fresh squeezed fruit juices within twenty minutes after they are prepared. In addition, since juices contain such a potent mixture of predigested nutrients, it is best to drink them slowly, allowing the body time to savor and assimilate them.
