Natural juices can cause problems with health and weight.
Professor of Medicine Richard Johnson spoke with Newsweek about this in more detail.
As the specialist noted, such drinks increase the feeling of hunger, provoke thirst, also lead to weight gain, the appearance of chronic inflammation and increase blood pressure.
It is much better to eat fruits than to drink such juice. The whole point is that a person eats fruits in moderation, the body deactivates fructose, so it does not receive excess sugar.
Juices also increase blood sugar levels. But that's not all. Fructose blocks the feeling of satiety. As a result, the body thinks it needs additional energy.
As the specialist specified, it is not only natural fruit juices that have such an effect on the body. Fructose is also produced after consuming carbohydrates, for example, after rice or potatoes.
The condition can be further aggravated if you drink alcohol at the same time.
