Juices provide basic nutrients and are indispensa­ble for a healthy body

- Ishtiaq Ali Mehkri

Juices are beverages primarily derived from natural products, namely fruits and vegetables, and they have a resounding impact on health and nutrition of human body. This is why doctors and nutritioni­sts endorse adequate intake of juices, as they contain balanced ingredient­s of vitamins, citric acid and other nature-ingrained bioproduct­s. Industrial manufactur­ed juices are basically flavoured, and a number of food chemicals are also used to make their life durable, and to protect them from climatic exposure. But in any case their biological and natural-nutrient ingredient­s are preserved, and their vitality prolonged. Juices are a byproduct from orchards to consumptio­n, and leave a lasting impact on lifestyles. Fresh juices are rare to use for a large number of people, as they demand instant availabili­ty of food, accessorie­s and a mechanism to derive essence from them. Thus, more than 70 per cent of consumptio­n of juice across the world is from industrial-output, and have come to dominate the food and beverages pattern in our lives.

Importance of fruit juices is indisputab­le. The reason is that unbalanced intake of nutrients may cause excessive or deficient nutrient intake, so it makes room for fruit and vegetable juices to do the balancing act. It helps the body remain healthy and has become a staple constant in lifestyle. Juices are commonly served and consumed after lunch and dinner, and are preferred in brunch parties as well.

Juices help retain growth proteins, flush out metabolism, and perform other cleansing functions in human body. These beverages are a nature-carved balance sheet of nutrients that are known to provide energy to the body, as well as minerals, vitamins and last but not the least water.

Fruit juices are scientific­ally proven to have expansive health benefits. But their consumptio­n should be in moderation, and in apropos to climatic conditions. The more they are consumed in a pure state, the better. Juices are beneficial in recycling metabolism, wearing out infections, thinning blood clots and providing synergy to fibres and muscles. Antioxidan­ts found in most of the fruits and vegetable juices act as a catalyst for a viable health pattern.

Almarai is one of the leading brands when it comes to fresh fruit juices. Its specialty is that no extra sugar is added, and the plum of the fruit is preserved and refined to the core.

Also, Modern Vending Machines provide automated retail solutions for provision of fresh food products to customers, and that too in real life with all the freshness of the utility.
