If you think fruit juice is good for you, think again. Sure, fruit juice has vitamins and nutrients, but it’s also laden with sugars that are rapidly absorbed into your bloodstream where they cause your insulin to spike and encourage weight gain. Plus, simple sugars also feed bacteria that are associated with gut inflammation.

When you eat a piece of fruit, the fiber creates a buffer that slows down the absorption of sugars, improves your digestion, and nourishes healthy gut bacteria. Restoring your gut flora with whole foods, including fruit, will gradually address poor digestion and even reduce intestinal inflammation naturally.
