Did you know that in a glass of orange juice (200 ml), there is an average of 36 grams of sugar? Yes, that's as much sugar as three donuts!

It is true that orange juice is rich in vitamin C, but the sugar is in the form of fructose, and that is the problem. Our body quickly and easily absorbs fructose, and the excess accumulates where we least want it: around the belly, thighs, hips ... In addition, large amounts of fructose dangerously affect the entire metabolism, disrupting digestion and accelerating weight gain. Fructose is among the biggest disruptors of digestion!

Although oranges are rich in antioxidants that (successfully) fight against free radicals and have a lot of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, their impact on body shape is so intense that the entire picture of orange sugar is very harmful.

This is why nutritionists recommend that those who cannot resist orange beverages dilute them with water at least in a 1:1 ratio (1 part orange juice to 1 part water). Additionally, if you drink juice only for breakfast, you have plenty of opportunities during the day to burn the calories consumed.

If you know you will not be active during the day, it is better to skip the orange juice.
