Study says orange juice helps in diet and reduces fat in liver

Study says orange juice helps in diet and reduces fat in liver

That orange juice does good for health, you should already imagine, but more than that, it can be an ally of your diet. That is, many professionals discourage the inclusion of this item in menus for weight loss because it is a caloric fruit, with about 140 calories in 240 ml of juice, however, a study from the State University Paulista - UNESP states otherwise. According to the Brazilian research, which was a master's thesis of nutritionist and doctoral student Carolina Ribeiro, published in the scientific journal Nutrition, orange juice is not a factor that can harm the diet. The tests were performed with 78 adult men and women between 18 and 65 years of age and with a body mass index (BMI) between 30 and 40 kg / m².

The participants were separated into two groups, one of which was called "Diet", following a menu of 2,000 kcal / day, focusing on weight loss, and the other called "Orange Juice", with a menu containing the same amount of calories, but with the additional two servings per day (500 ml) of the natural orange juice.

The drink was included during the morning and afternoon snacks. The first group, which had no juice in their diet, was given the advice of ingesting something that was not citrus, with caloric value similar to that of juice, such as a banana, a serving of yogurt, salted crackers, etc.

This was maintained for 12 weeks, while researchers looked at the parallel intake of nutrients by volunteers, such as proteins, carbohydrates and vitamin C, as well as their body composition and markers such as glycemia, insulin, cholesterol, triglycerides and liver enzymes. analysis, they noticed that orange juice did not prevent weight loss of the participants and the weight loss registered between the groups was the same: less six kilos in three months, eliminating 8% fat and 3% muscle mass.

In addition to weight loss, the orange juice group had a reduction in glucose, insulin, triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL levels. There was also a reduction of fat in the liver, with a decrease in the number of liver enzymes, reducing inflammation in the organ.

Fruit or juice?

Although much is said about always giving preference for fruit consumption, the researcher says that by eating the juice, you can eat more vitamins, minerals and flavonoids. This happens simply because to make a juice several oranges are necessary. On the other hand, the fruit itself contains many fibers, another important factor for health. Thus, both versions are recommended and do not need to be excluded from the diet. The important thing is to avoid the industrialized ones and, if possible, prepare your own juice at home or look for integral versions.
