Vegetable juice

Another healthy non-carbonated alternative to water is vegetable juice. Vegetable juice is a simple way to get a few extra vegetable servings into your day. Apart from some nutrients and fiber, the juice provides some of the benefits of vegetables if you find it difficult to eat enough of them.

When vegetables are cut or juiced, they lose part of their nutrients, much like fruits. As a result, homemade vegetable juice is often superior to store-bought versions. Keep in mind that store-bought vegetable juice usually has a lot of salt in it. If you prefer to buy it rather than make it, look for a low-sodium variety.
