Eating fruit may be healthier than drinking fruit juice.

Fruit juice is preferable to consume when, for example, someone is seriously ill and cannot eat or digest food.

Juicing cannot extract 100% of the nutrients from fruits.

Fruit juice may also contain more sugar and fewer nutrients than fruit.

A serving of fruit juice contains less fiber and about several times more calories and carbohydrates, which are mostly fruit sugar.

The nutrients in natural fruits are delivered to the body in full, especially if you eat the fruit with the skin.

Fruits contain fiber, which slows the absorption of fructose, a type of sugar in fruits. Fiber is also good for digestion and blood sugar control.

Therefore, you should choose fresh oranges, apples or other fruits to stay healthy.
