MANILA, Philippines — So much for sodas. It’s time to start drinking healthy. Fruit juices are a good alternative to the very convenient but not-so-good-for-the-body soft drinks, but it’s best to go for fresh fruit juices and 100% fruit juices and blends straight from cartons or bottles.
Drinking fresh juices in addition to water benefits the body in many ways. These juices revitalize the body and aid in the maintenance of good digestion.
