Frequently Asked Questions
What fruits and vegetables are best for juicing to improve heart health?
Some of the top fruits and veggies for heart-healthy juicing include leafy greens like spinach and kale, beets, carrots, apples, oranges, pears, tomatoes, and pomegranates.
How much juice should I drink each day for heart benefits?
Aim for 8-12 ounces of fresh vegetable and fruit juice daily. Focus on ingredients like leafy greens, beets, citrus fruits, pomegranates, and carrots.
Is store-bought juice as good as homemade juice for cholesterol and blood pressure?
Homemade juice made from fresh, raw fruits and veggies is best. Store-bought juices may contain added sugars, preservatives, or flavorings.
