"On The Go" Drinks that are Good For You
Los Banos, Calif. - When you're not looking, what is your child drinking?
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, children are the largest group of juice consumers.
But take a closer look at the drink labels and you'll find that most juice products are no more nutritious than the carbonated soft drinks you may be trying to avoid.
While the nation battles over what children shouldn't drink, there is a simple "back to basics" nutrition approach - in an easy-travel bottle - which may be your child's best bet in the fight against obesity.
Kagome's new single-serving beverages provide a nutritious alternative to sugar-loaded juices and colas, and fulfill the USDA's guidelines for daily fruit and vegetable consumption. Vegetables are often underconsumed by children so the new drinks are an easy and tasty way to get the nutrition they need.
The 50/50 blends of fruit and vegetable juices are available in three varieties: Autumn Reds, Purple Roots & Fruits and Orange Carrot Blossom. The drinks are made without added sugar, artificial additives or preservatives and are 100-percent juice (50-percent fruit and 50-percent vegetable).
Each single serving 16.6-ounce bottle contains almost three full servings of fruits and vegetables.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says eating five to nine fruits and vegetables each day can reduce the risk of cancer and other chronic illnesses.
Kagome juices can be found in natural health food stores nationwide and are also available in 30-ounce bottles. (Whole Foods Market and Wild Oats / Cost $2.29 - $3.39). Learn more at: /
