Juice or Junk? Alia Bhatt’s Nutritionist Reveals Why Whole Fruits Win Every Time

Celebrity nutritionist Dr. Siddhant Bhargava, known for his work with Alia Bhatt, has issued a serious warning about drinking fruit juices, labeling them as “colorful sugar water” that could be detrimental to your health. He points out that juicing removes the natural fiber found in fruits, which leads to a rapid spike in sugar levels in your bloodstream and can trigger insulin surges—ultimately increasing the risks of obesity, insulin resistance, and poor metabolic health. 

Key Highlights:

• Fiber Loss: Juicing takes away fiber, which is crucial for slowing down sugar absorption and promoting gut health.

• Nutrient Drop: Many commercial juicers can diminish the vitamin and mineral content, leaving you with mostly sugar water.

• Health Risks: Regularly consuming juice can cause blood sugar spikes, weight gain, and a higher risk of diabetes, particularly for those already vulnerable.

• Industry Misleading: Dr. Bhargava criticizes the health industry for promoting juices as healthy options despite their lack of genuine nutritional benefits.

 

What to Do Instead:

 

Dr. Bhargava’s recommendation is straightforward—skip the juice and opt for whole fruits. Chewing fruit not only ensures you get the fiber but also helps you feel fuller and reap all the nutrients that nature has to offer.

 

Outlook:

 

As awareness grows, more nutrition experts are encouraging people to abandon fruit juices in favor of whole fruits for better blood sugar management and long-term health.
