With a more practical reason, many people prefer to eat fruits in juice form. In fact, not a few who consume it in the form of fruit juice packaging. Although both healthy because it has benefits and content of the fruit, but the consumption of fruit in the form of cut is considered better for the health
of the body, especially the digestive system.
"The reason is better eaten whole is due in fruit enzymes that help digestion. Too often drink the juice can interfere with digestion," says nutritionist Ongko Jansen, MSc, RD, when talking with detikHealth and written on Monday (16/3 / 2015).
Jansen continued, besides chew fruit pieces are also believed to be more stimulating satiety. Fibers which come chewed also make the process of absorption and digestion to work a little harder and longer, so it will not be easy automatic hungry. It is obtained from the enzymes contained in the whole fruit. But even so, Jansen said that necessarily does not mean consumption of fruit juice are considered bad. "There is still a place for fruit juices. There are people who are lazy to chew, do not like vegetables or fruit, juice solution. Although the fiber is removed and stayed sugar, fruit sugar back he stays. At least it's better than fruit juice packaging," he added.
In order for fruit juice still have benefits like fresh cut fruit, the processing must be considered and not arbitrary. One way is to not add too many sweeteners, including sugar. Let the fruit juice has the natural sweetness of the fruit itself. According to the Department of Nutrition at the Polytechnic lecturer Jakarta Health II, Rita Ramayulis, DCN, Kes, when processing the juice should not be added sweeteners such as sugar, especially the excessive amount. The additional material can reduce the amount of healthy nutrients in the fresh fruit itself.
"The juice should not add sugar, to be mixed with the sweetness of sweet orange juice or other fruit dikomdinasi to give a sweet taste like melon juice," said Rita.
