    Benefits of Drinking Fresh Juices in Summer

     

    Staying hydrated is an important and sometimes overlooked aspect of health in Qatar during summer. Adults over the age of 60 are more likely to get dehydrated for a variety of reasons, including natural declines in thirst and changes in body composition. 

    Also, with the temperature reaching new highs every day, staying hydrated is critical to avoiding health risks. Water is definitely a miracle drink, but if you don't enjoy the taste of water, fruit juices come to your rescue. 

    However, consuming ready-made juices will defeat the objective because they are harmful to your health. Drinking cold-pressed juices, which are pleasant and packed with health benefits, is a healthy option in Qatar.

    Considerations for Choosing the Right Juices

     

    Juice may be a healthy supplement to your diet, provided it is low in added sugar and preservatives in Qatar for the summer. However, if you need to follow a low glycemic diet, you may be better off consuming whole fruit that is high in fiber.

    Examine the Label

    Just because a drink is labeled "healthy" doesn't imply it's beneficial for you. Furthermore, many store-bought drinks contain additives that counteract all of the good you're hoping for. Most juices sold in stores must be shelf-stable, which means they frequently have added components that are not entirely natural.

    Choose Juices That Have Been Cold-Pressed

    When possible, choose cold-pressed juices to ensure the purity of your juice. Cold-pressed juices are frequently created with a slow-masticating juicer, which has low RPMs and does not emit heat, allowing the juice to keep its nutritious value.

    Choose Ingredients You Don’t Ordinarily Consume

    Fruits are high in vitamins, so try to incorporate more vegetables into your drinks. Make sure they're minimal in sugar, with mostly veggies and some fruits for natural sweetness. Veggies like beets and carrots are naturally sweet. 

    Use Only Seasonal Produce

    Whether it's juices, salads, or bowls, eating locally and seasonally is always the best option. If your fruits and vegetables are in season and at their optimum, your juices will taste significantly better and be more flavourful.

    Don’t Consume Detox Juices All-Day

    Juices are not a meal substitute and should not be used in place of entire fruits and vegetables. It's a supplement similar to a vitamin. Clean juices with the correct nutrient-dense components, on the other hand, can be a terrific addition to your diet, but they should never be the foundation of it.
