Fruit juice


Fruit is relatively low in calories when comparing with many other foods, however it is high in sugar. However, just a small glass of juice you will realize just how much apples or oranges needed. For example, normally we would not eat five oranges at once, but this is what you are consuming from a small glass of fruit juice. Therefore, it is recommended to eat your fruits raw.
