Compared to drinking juice, eating fresh fruit often brings more nutritional value. When juiced, the flesh and pulp of the fruit are often removed, meaning that the amount of fiber can be significantly reduced. Fiber plays an important role in a balanced diet and contributes to controlling sugar intake into the body. Therefore, if there are no special contraindications, whole fruits should be prioritized in the daily diet.
However, patients can still use fruit juice according to their preferences or according to the doctor's recommendations in some cases. When drinking juice, you should pay attention to your diet and avoid juices supplemented with sugar, syrup or sweeteners.
In addition to supplementing with fruits, patients need to build a diverse and balanced diet between many food groups such as meat, fish, eggs, vegetables and suitable starch sources. Do not expect a single type of fruit or food to replace the overall diet. For people with liver disease or metabolic diseases, consulting a doctor or nutritionist can help build a menu suitable for physical condition and nutritional needs.
Fruits should be chosen in a fresh, clean and diverse state instead of just using one type. Patients can allocate fruits reasonably throughout the day, in which morning is a convenient time to add to their diet.
In particular, people with fatty liver or diabetes should be cautious with overly sweet fruits and processed fruit products. Some products may contain high levels of sugar or unnecessary supplements. Instead, prioritizing fresh fruits with appropriate portions, combined with a scientific diet and reasonable exercise will help control overall nutrition better.
