From the all healthy tips blog comes a glowing endorsement of non-sweetened organic vegetable (and fruit) juice:
The age-old misconception that juice should be sweet has been overturned during the last few years and as such we have gained access to a far wider range of flavors. Instead of being limited to only fruit juices, you now have access to juice that has been created from vegetables, a mixture of fruit and vegetables or even fruit and/or vegetable juice mixed with herbs and/or spices. The combinations are endless and they're all good for you.
The comparative levels of nutrients, vitamins and minerals that you receive from juice as opposed to the sodas (which are being consumed in such great quantities every day) are amazing. The fact that wholesome juice is far less accessible to the average consumer than soda could be a contributing factor in the rise of obesity, all over the world. Sodas have incredibly little nutritional value and in addition to that they have huge amounts sugar, preservatives, colorants and flavorings to make the drink taste good to consumers. There are also a range of ingredients in the sodas that can be potentially addictive as well as being generally unhealthy.
The sodas can start your body on a major roller coaster, since the sugar will give you a major energy spike, but that will soon wear off, leaving you more tired than you were prior to drinking the soda. This is due to your body burning some of your energy reserves during the spike, without having them properly replenished. The additives that are so plentiful in soda will also accumulate within your system and can be distributed throughout your body. Simply put, the more rubbish that accumulates within your body, the more the functioning will degrade.
