Why drinking V8 is good for health?

Question

Why drinking V8 is good for health? It has a lot of Pottasium and some Vitamin C but that's about it. Isn't it better to drink Slim Fast or Ensure since they contain more vitamins compared to V8???

Answer 1

On a diet you are supposed to drink a lot of water. But when you drink V8 juice you are actually drinking a lot of vegetables. It is pure and there is nothing added to it. It is very low in calories. If you drink Slim Fast you are getting a lot of calories and a lot of chemicals, it is like drinking a meal. The same with Ensure. They have the vitamins, but you are drinking a meal. With V8 you are just drinking something instead of water. They are in two different catagories. You can't compare them. It's sort of like a funny story I heard once. A very heavy friend decided to go on I believe it was some kind of liquid diet to lose weight, and all he was supposed to have as a meal was this liquid for his three meals. When someone asked him how he was doing he said great, he really liked the liquid drinks, they went along very well with his regular meals. But he couldn't figure out why he wasn't losing any weight. There are just some people who don't understand what a diet is.
If you want to drink a slim fast that's fine, but use it as a meal, but only do it for one meal once in awhile, it really isn't all that good for you. It's fine if you are on the run, just like it's fine to eat those bars if you are on the run. Better to have something to go into your stomach than to go around hungry. But remember, V8 juice is about the only juice that you should drink on a diet. All the other juices are made from fruits and are super sweet, they are very bad for you, they add extra sugar into your diet and screw up your system. On almost every diet it is the one thing that will always be pointed out, fresh fruit is a good thing, fruit juice is a bad thing. You can eat an orange, but if you have orange juice you are actually having about 4 to 6 oranges.

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.

I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.

It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.

Drinking meals or substitues are less good for your health than simply eating fruits and vegitables.

Drinks add a lot of sugar and sodium to your diet and can actually be bad for your health in large quantities. My mother drank an entire pint in one day and ended up going to the hospital from flash pulminary edima. (I think that's how you spell it.) The doctors said the salt from the V8 pushed her over the edge.

My advice is to eat a salad full of vegitables if you're looking for nutrients.

Pros-

It contains Lycopene and

It's very good for you, primarily because of the cooked tomatoes which contain copious amounts of lycopene
It's very good for you, primarily because of the cooked tomatoes which contain copious amounts of lycopene Its Good Because Of that And Some Other-The V8® Diet is a great way to cut excess calories and use the power of vegetables and V8® 100% Vegetable Juice to help you lose weight. There are many diets that promise quick weight loss, but experts agree that gradual, steady weight loss achieved by reducing your calories and exercising regularly is the best approach. Since everyone is unique and has a different lifestyle, no one diet can fit everyone's needs.

So whether you adopt our meal plan or follow the simple calorie savers, you can rely on the V8 Diet to help you reduce your calorie intake and put you on the road to healthy weight loss.

Cons-The reason I say this is because there is so much sodium in it. You are drinking the best thing, water. Why back step with the high sodium. For benefits of veggies, eat veggies. Fresh or frozen if possible. Stir fry, salads (dark green leaves)broccoli, etc. -

Whats good for your skin is that pure water you drink. It is the best for you.

Depending on your gender, your age, your nutrition, then certain vits need to be taken. Most 1-a-days do not have enough in them to suport us. Waste of money and energy.

Those Are Some Pros and Cons Hope this Helps

Answer 5

It's okay but it's pretty high in sodium. Best to drink water and get your vitamins from food. Or make a veggie or fruit smoothie on your own so you know what the ingredients are!

Answer 6

My doctor put me on it years ago before surgery it built me up. Its better to eat raw veggies you get the fibre. But V8 tastes better

Answer 7

How about a complete balanced diet? Its not that eating or drinking any one thing is good for you, you have to have some of everything.....

I know v8 looks and probably is disgusting and its not better than what tastes good. Those people think they make such good inventions when no one thinks that theyre that great. i agree that theyre not any better than other healthy drinks.
