Fruit juices are always a better pick than soda drinks; there is no doubt about that. However, not all fruit juices are actually good for you. Some of them can even be bad.

She Finds magazine recently had a chat with personal trainer & registered dietitian Jesse Feder, who revealed one type of fruit juices you should stay away at all costs. According to Feder, artificially flavored fruit juices should be avoided at all costs due to all the sugar they contain.

“Artificially flavored fruit juices with high amounts of added sugars are the worst for weight gain and blood sugar, “he explains. “These typically include things like fruit punch, lemonade, Hawaiian punch, high-c, and fruit cocktail juices. These fruit juices contain very little fruit, if any at all. “

Feder adds that these types of fruit juices can “spike up” your blood sugar and also cause you to gain weight if you consume them on a frequent basis.

So what should you do instead? Well, Feder says that the juices from freshly squeezed fruits are your best choice if you want refreshment without the downsides. He also recommends keeping the pulp of the fruit inside of the drink, as you’ll get the added benefit of fibers.

So, there you have it. Next time you are in a grocery store, don’t go for that pack of fruit juice. Instead, pick up some oranges, cut them in half, and squeeze them in a glass. Your body will thank you for it.

Immune Boosting

Nothing fights harder against a flu than turmeric tea. It contains loads of antioxidants that work wonders for your immune system.

Improves Complexion

Turmeric’s health benefits affect your body inside and out. Its anti-inflammatory properties promote radiant skin and prevent greasy looking skin.

Chamomile

Having trouble sleeping? Chamomile is the way to go. The herbal infusion helps the body to relax and is also great for anxiety and even headaches.

Green Tea

If you’re looking for just the opposite, green tea will help you perk right up! Thanks to the inclusion of caffeine, the leaves will give you an energy boost and also promote weight loss.

Chai

When the weather starts turning colder, that’s the time to stock up on chai. Infused with spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves, chai enhances the immune system, fights inflammation, and combats colds.

Ginger Tea

The favourite of pregnant women around the world. Ginger is known for settling stomachs, making it the best tea to have if suffering from nausea, bloating, an upset stomach, or even a sore throat.

Hibiscus Tea

Aside from its pretty pink hue, hibiscus tea is helpful in reducing high blood pressure and can also be beneficial against respiratory illnesses.

Canned soup is the go-to option for so many people who need a hot meal that only takes reheating to make. However, unless you’re very sick and can’t manage to make your own soup, you should really move away from eating canned soup. Though there are many options, including organic and seemingly healthy ones, the fact of the matter is that all canned soups are totally loaded with sodium, which is really bad news.

Sodium is the amount of salt that is in food, and when you have too much, you can have all sorts of health problems like high blood pressure, heart disease, and more. Most preserved things have salt, but can soup is one of the worst victims. If you look at a soup label, you might see the one serving, which can often be only half the can, provides you with anywhere from 20-40% of your daily sodium intake in such a small amount of food.

Instead, if you really want to eat canned soup, definitely dilute the soup with water so the portion goes farther, and the salt gets diluted. Or, the healthiest way is to make your own soup which really doesn’t require much work at all, and you can be in control of how much sodium you consume.
