Fit Tip...
Beware of labels promising “real fruit juice”!
Most of theses fruit juices may sound healthy, especially when they promise to have "added vitamins" but juice is basically a stripped-down version of its origins. Meaning, the fiber from the skin is removed and you are left with mainly sugar.
A typical eight-ounce serving of juice packs in 20 to 30 grams of sugar—the amount you’d find in a regular soda!
Sure, it’s better to choose fruit juice over soda, but if you really want extra vitamins, grab an apple instead (the fiber it contains slows down sugar absorption) & wash it down with water.
