On a warm spring or summer's day, there's nothing more refreshing than a cold glass of fresh juice.
Better still, that glass packs an incredible array of benefits to supercharge your health routine, which is why FUEL - our juice bar at Athelis Club & Spa - is so popular.
WHY DRINK FRESH?
Fresh juices aren't just delicious. They're nutritional powerhouses that energise your body, sharpen your mind, and enhance your overall wellness.
Drinking freshly pressed juices gives your body the essential nutrients, vitamins, antioxidants and minerals it needs to thrive.
And unlike processed juices – which often lose a lot of those benefits in production - fresh juices retain their maximum nutritional content and natural enzymes. This helps your body absorb all those key nutrients so you:
- Feel energised
- Stay hydrated
- Support your immune system
- Cleanse your body
- Revitalise your mind
THE BENEFITS OF DRINKING FRESH JUICES:
Freshly squeezed juices offer numerous health benefits. They:
1. Boost your immune system
Fresh juices rich in vitamin C, such as those made from citrus fruits and berries, help support immune function by fighting off infections and maintaining overall health. The antioxidants in fruit juices can also help reduce inflation.
2. Support healthy digestion
Ingredients like ginger and pineapple contain enzymes that aid digestion and reduce bloating, and the high water content of some juices – like those with watermelon or cucumber – helps maintain hydration levels, which support good digestive health.
3. Provide natural energy
Fresh juices deliver nutrients quickly, giving you a natural energy boost without the need for caffeine or sugary drinks. Some are also rich in magnesium and B vitamins, which help maintain your energy levels throughout the day.
4. Help you manage your weight
If they're made primarily from vegetables like cucumber and celery, which are low in calories, fresh juice can help you feel fuller for longer, increasing hydration and reducing hunger without excess energy intake.
5. Promote healthier skin
Juices rich in vitamin C and beta-carotene, such as those from citrus fruits and carrots, encourage collagen production and protect against sun damage, keeping your skin vibrant.
6. Focus your mind
Certain juices, especially those containing blueberries and leafy greens, provide brain-boosting nutrients that can improve your cognitive function and mental clarity.
