In a previous article, we mentioned the bad health effects of eating lots of sweets, something that prevails in the month of Ramadan. While limiting the amount of sugary stuff you eat, to no more than one portion/day, there is another substitute, which many people are already in love with: Fresh juice.
In Lebanon for example, we see lots of fresh juice stands in different Lebanese regions. People who are fasting, and even those who are not fasting, buy fresh orange juice, strawberry, or Jallab.
So, what are the benefits of fresh juice?
Fresh Orange Juice
Benefits of fresh orange juice include:
- Boosting your immunity system
- Protecting you against cancer
- Improving Blood Pressure
- Reducing Inflammation
- Boosting Metabolism
- Detoxifying the body
Jallab (Date Syrup)
Jallab, a syrup, made into juice, is essentially made from dates. It is healthy in a number of ways, and the most significant of them is fighting Bacterial Infections
- A research presented at the Society for General Microbiology’s Annual Conference in Birmingham, showed that, in vitro, date syrup is able to inhibit the growth of bacteria faster than manuka honey, which has previously been shown to have antibacterial properties and is increasingly used in dressings to improve wound repair.The results revealed that when the syrup was mixed with a range of disease-causing bacteria — including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus spp. and Pseudomonas aeruginosa — it inhibited their growth.
Fresh Strawberry Juice
- aiding in weight loss
- Boosting memory
- Drinking fresh strawberry juice is great for anti-aging
- The high vitamin and anti-oxidant content in fresh strawberry juice promotes immunity and helps to protect the body against infections.
- Since it is rich in vitamin C, fresh strawberry juice protects your eyesight.
- Strawberry juice is a great source of nutrients. These nutrients help in preventing inflammatory diseases such as asthma and arthritis.
Enjoy drinking fresh juice, and stay healthy
