given the choice eating the actual vegetable is a healthier approach. both the vegetable supplements (juice) and the actual vegetables have the vitamins and minerals and the healthy phytonutrients found in abundance in vegetables. however vegetables juices do not contain the fiber found in the actual vegetable. whole vegetables are one of the best sources of fiber which most of us get far too little of. i recommend that you try to find at least some actual vegetables that you like to eat. but if you’re not a big fan of veggies a vegetable drink is a good alternative. make sure it’s 100% juice with no added sugar. keep in mind that vegetable drinks are often very high in sodium and most of us don’t need any more sodium than we already get. so look for lower-sodium options.
is drinking vegetable supplements as beneficial as eating actual vegetables?
