Fresh Orange Juice
It is true that there are a lot more other drinks from fruits that are much healthier than orange juice. But it still must be pointed out here that drinking orange juice also has its share of health benefits, albeit not as much. Most people drink orange juice for its vitamin C, but aside from having that mineral, orange juice is also an excellent source of the polyphenols hesperidin and diosmin. What these chemicals do is strengthen the varicose veins in the body and therefore reduce bruising.
Although a lot of countries around the world go crazy over other ‘healthier’ and more exotic fruits, Indians continuously show great interest on oranges and well, orange juice. The thing about this is that India is the second largest producer of sugar in the world. That being said, Indian food experts are certainly more adept when it comes to the dangers of consuming large amounts of sugar than their counterparts in other countries. Studies about whether or not using artificial orange juice powders, substitutes that are easy to prepare but contain tons of sugar and preservatives, is really advisable have been keeping these experts busy. With orange juice getting this kind of publicity in India, it can be argued that the nation is next to Florida, USA when it comes to liking oranges and everything related to such fruits.
