I always thought apple juice was an empty drink with lots of sugar, so I told my kids to drink it rarely and watered it down significantly when they really wanted it. Now it seems that apple juice may help to maintain acetylcholine levels, which could help support memory and recall. So next time I call out the names of each of my four kids before arriving at the appropriate one I will reach for a glass of apple juice.
Orange juice too is now touted as being a super food especially helpful with diminishing inflammation throughout the body. Besides having good doses of Vitamin C (highest in the pulp), orange juice is a great drink choice for its many health benefits.
If you are going to go nuts and allow your car to swerve into the Fast Food Drive-thru of choice, you better order some orange juice with your meal. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition last month says OJ significantly neutralized the proinflammatory effect of a high-fat, high-carbohydrate meal and also prevented endotoxin increase. Oranges are nature’s superfoods and are full of flavonoids and phytochemicals as well as vitamin C.
But what about the sugar? Solution: Purity Products’ Amazing Oranges!!
What a great way to get the benefits of oranges (plus many the benefits of many other orange fruits/vegetables) without all the sugar in juice. It’s also very good if you are trying to watch your calories as orange juice can be highly caloric when trying to lose or maintain weight. It’s a great way to start your day as a morning drink to help wake you up. I have used it after a workout or before especially if I’m feeling sluggish. It’s also good as an afternoon “pick me up”, and as everyone here at Purity Products knows, it really gives you a great sense of vitality and clarity after you have it. The triple action blend features 3 classes of phytonutrients: Carotenoids, Polyphenols and Bioflavonoids amplified with Vitamins C & D to support healthy energy, endurance, and mental clarity.
