Avoid the Junk Juices and Buy the Right Type of Juice

What's with all the different type of Juices?

You only have to walk down the supermarket aisles to see the numerous brands and types of fruit juice that are available. And, confusingly, they all claim to provide you with unparalleled benefits: 100% fruit juice, added Vitamin C, preservative free, etc. To find out how the juices are different, let's take a look at the types of juices available.

Organic Fruit

Juice Drinks

These drinks, normally found with other soft-drink beverages on shelves away from the refrigerated dairy section, are not 100% fruit juice and sometimes struggle to be 5% fruit juice! They contain water and lots of sugar, additives and flavoring, and have very few nutritional benefits. They often have names that include "punch", "cocktail" or "blend". Definitely stay away from these drinks if you are looking for health benefits.

Long-Life and Short-Life Chilled Juices

These are the majority of the juice cartons you see in the refrigerated dairy sections and in the aisles. Both Long-Life and Short-Life Chilled juices are pasteurized, the difference being that the Long-Life juices have been more heavily pasteurized and can therefore keep from between 6 to 9 months without needing to be chilled. The Short-Life Chilled juices undergo a lighter pasteurization process and will keep for 2 to 6 weeks if chilled. Neither of these is freshly-squeezed juice. The juice will either be "Not from Concentrate", meaning that the juice was extracted in the country of origin, pasteurized and then shipped, or else will be made from concentrate that was shipped to the selling country. Either way, you will not get the full benefits of organic fruit puree juices since the pasteurization and packaging process means that a lot of the nutritional value is lost.

Freshly-Squeezed Juices

These juices are, compared to the other juices on the shelves, freshly squeezed and must be drunk within 24 to 36 hours. They are not pasteurized and retain many of the benefits of juice made freshly at home or in a juice bar. Make sure that the juice is cloudy since the cloudier it is, the more nutritious it is. Very clear juices have had water added.

Organic Fruit Puree Juices

So that brings us to organic fruit puree juices. Organic Fruit Puree Juices, made at home and drunk immediately, are by far the best of the juices. Organic vegetable juices or organic fruit juices are easy to make using a juicer or juice extractor. Though there is no doubting the safety of juicing inorganic vegetables or fruits, making your own organic vegetable juice or organic fruit juice brings a new level of taste and nutrition to juicing. Because the juice is made and drunk fresh, without need for pasteurization or packaging, oxidation does not destroy the nutritional value in the juice. That means you get the full benefit of juicing!

Acne Program - Step 6 - Juices You Should Be Drinking

Drinking fruit juices help to bring vitamins and minerals quickly into your blood where they can supply what is necessary for acne free skin. Minerals quickly neutralize skin acids and bring the skin pH back to normal - slightly acidic.

Fresh juices have antibacterial action and contain digestive enzymes that help you digest protein and fat.

Because of the vitamins, minerals, digestive enzymes, pure water, and nutrients that juices have, they have the power to cleanse your body of toxic wastes.

Here are some juices to drink that will keep your face free of acne.

Apple juice

Drink at least 2 glasses of this juice every day. Apple juice has a high level of minerals and vitamins, which makes it ideal for skin health.

Apricot - berry juice

Mix equal parts of apricot and berry juice and add a little honey to taste. Drink one cup in the morning. Place the other two glasses into a thermos and drink one more glass at noon and one at dinner.

Cherry juice

Cherry juice is a powerful drink, because it has so many minerals. It will make your body more alkaline by neutralizing acid waste in the blood, in the lymph liquid and wherever it goes. It will also help keep you regular.

Lemon Juice

Lemon juice is one of the best juices you can drink for your skin health. It contains many minerals, which will eliminate acid waste. Lemon juice will help constipation, liver disorders, reduce mucus accumulation, improve digestion, reduce infections, and help to clear skin disorders like acne.

One way I use lemon juice is to squeeze the juice of one lemon into 16 oz water and drink it during the day.

Melons

Melon juice is also an excellent drink for acne. It is almost a perfect food in that it has many vitamins and minerals. It is most helpful with constipation, kidney disorders and skin disorders.

Orange and grapefruit

Prepare half and half of orange and grapefruit juice using a hand juicer. The flavor is extremely tasty. The combination of these two fresh fruits will give you a powerful start in the morning. They will give you a vitamin C boost with plenty of flavanoids and minerals.

These combined fruits will cleanse your intestinal tract, help in blood disorders, liver disorders, lung disorders and skin infections.

Orange and lemon juice

Mix 3 parts of orange juice with one part lemon juice. Add a little water and honey and put into a thermos. Drink the juice all day long for glowing skin.

Lemon juice helps the skin to rejuvenate and grow new skin. It helps the skin to flake off old skin and improve the skin's metabolism.

Other juices to drink

There are many other fruit juices to drink. Here are a few more.

* Peach juice
* Pear juice
* Pineapple juice
* Prune juice
* Strawberry juice

Try to use organic fruit when making your juice. It is better to make your own juices since most bottled juice contain no life force or natural live enzymes. Drink the juices soon after you juice them. If you want, put them in a thermos for later in the day. Drink them within 2-3 hours. If you can't make your own juice, the buying bottle juices is second best for clearing your acne.
