Drinking juices (yes, even green ones)
Cold-pressed green drinks might be rich in vitamins and minerals, but juicing removes much of the fiber from fruits and vegetables. And fiber is not something that you want to be removing from your food. It helps increase fullness, lower cholesterol, control blood sugar, and regulate bowel movements, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Some people justify the loss of fiber because they believe that juices are "detoxing" and that they help your body absorb nutrients better. Mayo Clinic dietitian Katherine Zeratsky wrote that there's simply no sound evidence to support these beliefs.
Fresh juices aren't necessarily bad, and they could be a good replacement for, say, a sweetened coffee drink. But juicing is no healthier than just eating whole fruits and veggies.
