Juice Doesn’t Have to Be a Weight-Loss No-No

(www.weightingline.com) — You’ve probably heard it, too: When you’re dieting, the last thing you should be drinking, aside from soda, is juice. But believe it or not, a little fruit or vegetable juice may be just what you need to kick your weight loss into high gear.

“Fruit and vegetable juices are excellent natural sources of vitamins and minerals and, in moderation, can be part of a healthy diet,” says Barry W. Ritz, PhD, a nutritional immunology researcher at Drexel University in Pennsylvania. “Compounds found in fruit and vegetable juices appear to have widespread positive effects on health.” (source)

I love cranberry juice and seltzer with a squeeze of lime. It’s refreshing and energizing, and it makes me feel so fancy when I use a martini glass. What’s your favorite juice?
