Fruit juices and other fruit beverages not only taste good, they also contribute to healthy, balanced nutrition. They supply the body with liquids and essential nutrients, which are fully preserved thanks to the gentle processing methods used in the production of fruit and vegetable juices.
Recent research has shown that the health benefits of fruit juice derive from a natural combination of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and secondary plant substances. Some types of fruit earn especially high marks in this regard – such as acerola cherries (with their extraordinarily high vitamin C content), cranberries (rich in antioxidants) and blueberries (rich in iron, manganese, vitamin K and fibre).
It is important to drink lots of liquids – experts recommend at least 2.5 litres per day in order to provide optimum support for human physiological processes. Blends of mineral water and fruit juice are ideal, as they supply the body with minerals and carbohydrates. A combination of mineral water and apple, grape or blackcurrant juice contains carbohydrates, minerals and trace elements – which make it the perfect sport beverage.
