Eat Your Fruits Instead of Drinking Them
Juicing is a quick way to eat your vegetables, right? Not so fast — your juice habit isn't actually making you healthier. Although juice cleanses are all the rage, the practice leaves your body without the health benefits of whole vegetables and fruits.
Juicing also can lead to food waste. The Daily Beast reports that a basket of fruit juiced serves half the amount it would have if eaten whole. In addition to fiber, another essential nutrient lost in the juicing process is fat which, according to the Daily Beast, the body needs in order to absorb vitamins.
Fruit juice is another culprit of being labeled as "healthy." The Washington Post goes as far as to call 100% fruit juice: "little more than sugar water."
