Check out the Top 5 Fruit Juices

Pomegranate Juice
Pomegranate is the healthiest of them all because it contains almost every possible antioxidant. Pomegranates offer effective resistance against some cancers, like such as prostate cancer. It also modifies heart disease risk factors. No wonder, it emerged as the clear winner.




Concord Grape Juice

Concord grape juice is a source of very potent antioxidants. And there's some research indicating it may be good for our hearts and also help reduce blood pressure. Grapes are also high in fiber, but much of their goodness is in the seed, so you need to consider whether grape juice is the way to go.




Blueberry Juice

The color alone indicates a lot of antioxidants. But blueberry juice also contains tons of fiber, and is also very high in Vitamin C. One of the qualities of antioxidants is that they can lower inflammation, and so there's some indication that blueberries may have some effect on age-related cognitive abilities. And don't forget that blueberries are very low in calories.





Black Cherry Juice

This one actually created a bit of excitement amongst scientists. Not only is it high in antioxidants, but also there is evidence that black cherry juice can actually diminish exercise-induced muscle injuries.





Cranberry Juice


Like all of these juices, cranberry too, is high in antioxidants. But this juice is also rich in Vitamin C and there's always been a sort of wives' tale that cranberry juice helps prevent urinary tract infections. Well, it turns out researchers are finding evidence that it actually can decrease the number of urinary tract infections. The reasoning is, it helps stop bacteria from sticking to the bladder wall, thus protecting against infections.
