For now, Ring says, “If you love juicing, consider blending instead to keep the fiber intact, or pair juices with whole foods to balance the impact on your microbiome.” Source: Northwestern University
These findings suggest that short-term juice consumption may negatively affect the microbiota,” the researchers wrote in their paper,published last month in the journal Nutrients. Importantly, the changes tied to a juicing-only diet may have been caused not just by a lack of fiber, but by the high sugar content found in these drinks.
The study is based on a small sample of volunteers, so it will take more research to replicate and truly confirm the team’s results here. But fiber is already known to be an essential part of a healthy diet. the researchers say their work demonstrates the importance of not sidelining fiber,even if you think you’re doing your body a favor with a juice-fast.
“Most people think of juicing as a healthy cleanse,but this study offers a reality check,” said senior study researcher Melinda Ring,director of the Osher Center for Integrative Health at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine,in a statement from the university. “If you love juicing, consider blending instead to keep the fiber intact, or pair juices with whole foods to balance the impact on your microbiome.”
