healthlifeblog: Can Drinking Vegetable Juice Help With Weight Loss

1784822324_c7ea4bc798[1] Drinking some vegetable juice once-a-day which contains sodium may help you to lose weight. In a recent study which was conducted participants drank approximately eight ounces of vegetable juice in conjunction with a carefully calorie controlled diet, managed to lose four pounds over a 12 week period.

This was compared to another group which was monitored whom only followed the calorie controlled diet, and didn’t consume the vegetable juice only lost a pound. One of the researchers said that drinking the vegetable juice somehow reduces the person’s appetite hence the reason they tend to eat less, there is also the belief that eating plenty of fruit and vegetables naturally encourages a lower body weight.

Among all of the 81 participants whom were involved in the study, have some form of metabolic syndrome this means the they had tone of the following health problems namely, high blood sugar, high blood pressure and high levels of cholesterol.

They were encouraged to follow the DASH diet which is short for “Dietary Approaches To Stop Hypertension” this diet is very high in fibre, fruit, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products and foods low in cholesterol.

Throughout the study they were encouraged to drink a vegetable juice containing high levels of potassium potassium is very good for lowering blood pressure and is found naturally in fruits like bananas etc.

A lot of adults both in the UK and United States don’t get their five day of their vegetable requirements so drinking vegetable juice is an excellent way to get it, if you have a juicer then this is a great way to make your own vegetable juice without having any added preservatives and it will probably taste better as well. If you have never tried fresh juice I highly recommend it it tastes lovely.
