SAEDNEWS: Homemade fruit juices have miraculous benefits that are very good for the body, but juicing certain fruits and vegetables can be harmful.
According to SAEDNEWS, It is true that a juicer is the best and primary tool for extracting fruit juices, but not every fruit or vegetable should be placed inside this device, both for the protection of the machine and your own health. Not all fruits and vegetables are suitable for juicing, and in this section, we will mention them. These are the items you should avoid to protect both your juicer and yourself.
Believe it or not, some people might consider juicing broccoli to create a homemade green juice and extract all the beneficial contents of vitamin C. However, this is not recommended. Broccoli can be difficult to digest, leading to bloating and abdominal pain. A gastroenterologist advises against juicing it, especially for individuals suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Similarly, it's best to avoid juicing other cruciferous vegetables, such as cauliflower and cabbage, for the same reasons.
Keep this green fruit with its creamy texture for smoothies. Avocado actually doesn’t have much juice, and it’s more suitable for blending than juicing, so forget about trying to extract its juice.
You can juice apples, but be sure to remove the seeds first. Varbanova explains that apple seeds contain amygdalin, which can become toxic during digestion.
Coconut milk or water can be a delightful addition to a juice or smoothie, but you can't extract more than the coconut flesh itself, as it isn’t juicy enough. It’s better to buy both products from the supermarket.
Not everyone needs to avoid pear juice, but if you are sensitive to fructose, you should steer clear of it. Pears contain sorbitol, a type of undigested sugar, which can cause bowel movements. This is why some people use pears to treat constipation.
Take the time to peel oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and sweet lemons. The peels of citrus fruits contain compounds that can irritate the digestive system, and they don’t have much juice either.
This tropical fruit is a healthy source of vitamins and fiber when eaten whole, but juicing it removes all these benefits and leaves you with high sugar levels, which can increase your blood sugar and insulin levels.
