How Soon After Juicing Should You Drink The Juice?
i’ve heard that fresh juice loses a lot of its nutritional value if not drunk immediately after juicing. i would like to go on a juice-fast, but will have to prepare my lunch-time juice in the morning before i come to work. will the juice still be as healthy by lunch-time as it was in the morning? would it make a difference if i placed it in a vacuum flask?
Well it sounds you basically have figured out that it does lose some of its nutritional value, so no it won’t be as healthy, but if it is the difference between you not doing your fast and doing it, then its fine.
I think I read at this website that a dark air tight container, such as a thermos flask, is a good way to store it.
I fast occasionally, and I use this website. http://www.freedomyou.com/
It is a religious based site, however all people go there and share their experiences. There is a huge amount of information and advice there.
For instance did you know that you need to strain your juice really well, so there is no pulp in it at all, so your digestive system shuts down, and it reduces the hunger pangs considerably? If there is pulp left in juice, that still stimulates digestion and hunger pangs are felt more stronger.
When you juice fruits and vegetables, you release active enzymes. So the answer is no, they will not maintain a lot of their healthiness after a few hours.
I did find this information on a site about juicing but it speaks mainly to the flavor of the juice, not the health of it.
To get all the health benefits, it is always best to drink them after you juice them. I guess taking your juicer to work is out of the question?
Some fruit juices stay relatively fresh-tasting if chilled in a covered container after leaving your fruit juicer.
These fruits include:
* peach
* apple
* pear
* citrus
* grape
* prune
* kiwi
* pineapple
Fruit juices hold their flavor better if you add a few drops of fresh lemon juice per ounce of fruit juice.
you can drink it right after
