According to nutrition experts, this habit can bring some benefits if used properly.
According to the Cleveland Medical Center (USA), apples are rich in vitamin C, potassium and antioxidant compounds, which help strengthen the immune system and support cardiovascular health. When pressed into water, the body can absorb these nutrients faster, especially suitable for the morning when the stomach is empty.
In addition, polyphenol compounds in apples can contribute to reducing oxidative stress, thereby supporting cholesterol control and improving cardiovascular function. A glass of apple juice in the morning also helps replenish water, supporting metabolism after waking up.
However, experts note that apple juice has removed most of the fiber compared to eating whole apples. This makes natural sugar in juice absorbed faster, which can increase blood sugar if drunk too much. Therefore, it should be drunk in moderation, about 150–250 ml per time and limit added sugar.
In addition, the time to drink should also be considered. For people with sensitive stomachs, they should drink it after breakfast instead of when they are too hungry to avoid mild irritation due to the natural acid in apples.
