Fresh Cold-Pressed Juices Can Be a Healthy Gifting Idea This Diwali
It is that time of the year again when families and friends get together, feast on delicious food, and gift each other wonderful gifts. Yes, you’ve guessed it right, it is the festival of lights- Diwali, which all of us wait for all year long. This is an important festival celebrated across the country.
Exchanging gifts during Diwali is an old-age tradition to perk up the feeling of love, togetherness, and affection. It signifies the appreciation, wishes, and blessings that we share for our near and dear ones.
When we talk about Diwali Gifting, juices have become a popular source of gifting items. Combining health, variety, and taste, fresh juices are a great alternative to adulterated and contaminated sweets. And if it’s cold-pressed, this is something your loved ones will truly love.
Not sure? Give a read below to know why fresh and healthy cold-pressed juices should be the first pick over other gift items this Diwali 2022.
For Offering Enough Nutrients
During the festive season, people often tend to eat food which is oily, fried or has excess sugar. By now we all know how eating such unhealthy food in excess can lead to severe health issues. For this reason, gifting fresh cold-pressed juices can turn out to be a great way to ensure your friends and family get enough nutrients and stay healthy while enjoying the festivities.
People appreciate if they are being taken care of or valued. Gifting something thoughtful like cold-pressed juices will definitely set them apart and create a positive impact in their minds. It’s surely a small change in regular gifting but you will surely see the impact. Try it to know it!
For the love of ‘Sweet Tooth’
Indulging in sweets during the festive season is very common and there’s nothing wrong about that if you are eating homemade mithai or buying pure sweets. It is natural to crave sweet treats especially during the festive season when everybody else is having it and also the market is fully loaded up with sweet gifts like mithai or chocolates as a gifting option.
Given how incredible unhealthy chemicals can be, it is safe to say that chemical-free and fresh cold-pressed juices make for a good gifting option. The natural sweetness coming from fresh season fruits will help to satiate sugar cravings that too healthily. Isn’t it amazing?
For Curbing Hunger
Overeating during the festive season is not something to be surprised of. Unfortunately, it often leads to constipation and indigestion. People usually neglect their health in a festive mood. Luckily, you can make a good change by gifting a hamper of happiness packed with freshly pressed juices to your dear ones.
Some of the many fresh juices made out of seasonal fruits that are locally sourced are high in dietary fibre content which keeps the stomach full for longer thus put a full stop on binge eating. Apple juice, Carrot Juices or Mandarin Juices are excellent source of fiber which can be considered for Diwali Gifting.
For Managing Weight
As discussed above, cold-pressed juices containing soluble fiber help to give the feeling of a fuller stomach thus curbing hunger and help in weight management. And, what’s better than gifting something which can help your loved ones to look fit and fab this Diwali while having the best time?
Honestly, we all want to keep a check on our weight during the festive season. There’s nothing better than to gift our dear ones that they will truly appreciate. Right?
For Keeping Hydration Levels In Check
In the festive hustle-bustle, we tend to ignore the most important thing for staying away from health woes i.e. Hydration. Gifting a pack of refreshing cold-pressed juices can set a good reminder for your lovelies to stay hydrated and get the maximum benefits out of it. They will also enjoy it more over the taste of boring plain water.
We can’t ignore that a vast variety of canned and tetra pack juice are widely available in the market. Not to mention, these so-called ‘pure’ or ‘natural’ juices are majorly loaded up with sugar and have no health benefits. They might also be made up of spoiled fruits which lead to food poisoning. They in fact could contain a very less amount of fruit content.
These traditional festive beverages are a great choice, but it can be a lot challenging to select fruit juices and beverages that are healthy and safe to consume. So, give below are some tips which will help you to select the best cold-pressed juices which possess no health risk at all!
- Read the label carefully to check the ingredients being used in the juice
- Know the source of sugar in juices- natural or artificial sweeteners
- Go through their website to have an idea of sourcing produce and processing. Read if its natural or organic
- Check customer reviews on Google review and their social media sites
- Check whether they meet high standards of hygiene
- Shelf-life is a major factor when deciding juice brand. Those who don’t use HPP technique have more nutrients amount that those who use the technique and kill live enzymes in the juice
- Availability of a variety of juice flavours
- Ensure the type of bottle they use which not only looks good for gifting but also beneficial for the environment as a whole like Glass, which is sustainable.
