A Review on the effect of fruit juice on Cardiovascular Disease

Abstract

The United States continues to experience a high rate of morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this review, the complex link between drinking fruit juice and cardiovascular health is examined. Fruit juices may include important vitamins, antioxidants, and possibly heart-healthy substances, but excessive consumption, particularly of those with a lot of added sugars, may be harmful to cardiovascular health. The research highlights the value of selecting pure, barely processed fruit juices with little to no added sugar.

Fruit juices contain antioxidants including vitamin C and polyphenols that help prevent oxidative stress and atherosclerosis, which adds to their beneficial health effects. The article stresses the importance of fruit juice kind and quality, with freshly squeezed and lightly processed juices being preferred.

Fruit juices can be included in a heart-healthy diet, but the research advises against consuming them in excess due to their high level of sugar, which might increase CVD risk and cause weight gain. In conclusion, the basis of maintaining cardiovascular health is a balanced diet high in fresh vegetables and fruits, particularly fruit juices consumed sparingly. To fully comprehend the long-term impact of fruit juice ingestion on the cardiovascular system in different dietary circumstances and individual profiles, more research is required.
