The fiber content of 100 grams of carrot juice is 0.8 grams, while the fiber content of 100 grams of intact carrots is 2.8 grams. Why? Because 100 grams of carrots can not fully be squeezed into 100 grams of carrot juice.
In addition, some physical ingredients in vegetables such as antioxidants, which are sensitive to oxygen. It is fully released during the juice extraction process, and will be oxidized by oxygen. For example, vitamin C, the nutrition lost is different towards different vegetables and different ways of juicing .
Freshly squeezed juice is best to drink immediately
How long can I keep it after juicing? In fact, you should drink it immediately after squeezing by commercial juicing machine. You can’t store it for a long time.
It can be reported that the loss of vitamins and antioxidants increases every minute. Fruit and vegetable juice is very easy to change color. Discoloration does not mean poisonous and harmful, and you can still drink it. However, the polyphenol health ingredients in fruits and vegetables are oxidized when exposed to oxygen, and the antioxidant effect will be reduced.

So how to avoid the loss of nutrients?
Put vitamin C in the juice to protect its nutrients
