What Stops Us From Making Fruit Juices At Home?

Fruit juices are naturally contained in fruits and are obtained by simply squeezing fruits by hand or

through mechanical means. Most of the fruits juices we drink these days are packaged beverages  that are made from concentrates, sugars, additives, water, artificial colouring, flavouring and preservatives. At the end of processing, what we are getting is mostly synthetic.

Fruits are packed with vitamins, fiber, minerals and other phytonutrients which promote wellness and good health to the body. Most of these health promoting nutrients are missing in packaged juices. The juices that make at home will have the real taste and flavour of the fruits without additives so; you are sure of what you are getting unlike what you have no idea of the real ingredients.

There is no big deal to making your own juice. Juices are one of the easiest beverages to prepare, it is time to start wondering why we are choosing synthetic unhealthy beverages over natural ones.

Nowadays we take better care of our finances and other money matters than our health, which is our

real wealth, until it is too late or almost.  We have walked so far away from natural methods of achieving good health and disease prevention mainly through our food choices. We need to go back to achieving optimal health through food and better lifestyle choices. Our forefathers lived better and healthier lives on less.

You do not need any special equipment or recipes to make your own nutrition rich juice, your hands or simple kitchen equipment will do. You can mix the juice of different fruits and enjoy more goodness and nutrition.

Juices are great, but contain fewer nutrients than the fruit because some of the fruit components are lost or discarded during juicing. Most times, the fiber content is lost while you gain more of the sugar content. Despite this, your home made juice beats packaged ones hands down.
