Don’t Eat Vegetables, Drink Them!
People who make vegetable juice part of their daily diet are more likely to get recommended daily servings, according to a new research study. Researchers in a study by the University of California-Davis found that making vegetable juice a part of your daily diet could be a big step in meeting daily vegetable recommendations. US Dietary Guidelines advise individuals to consume three to five servings of vegetables daily. Seven out of ten adults fall short of the daily recommended vegetable intake. The volunteers in the study who drank vegetable juice were more likely to achieve the recommended daily servings of vegetables, likely due to the convenience factor as well as the fact that volunteers found vegetable juice to be a tasty alternative to raw or cooked vegetables. Considering thatV8 vegetable jucie contains only 50 calories and an 8 ounce glass counts as two servings of vegetables, it seems an easy way to get a big portion of your daily veggie quota. Check out the juice section at your grocery store and you are likely to find a wide range of choices.
