What kind of juice the child is most useful?
Traditional nutrition answers this question briefly — any. The number of minerals and vitamins in the gifts of gardens and fields plus or minus the same. Differ only their number, which, in the final analysis, also did not play any role, if the fruits and vegetables in child’s diet is diverse.
Alternative medicine from a different perspective: fruit and vegetable juices have different target audience, depending on the dominant energy that must be balanced with other (to achieve harmony in the body) and which determines the Constitution of his body. If you omit not entirely clear to the uninitiated the terminology then these energies three, as body weights in humans: thin, normal, full.
Take a look at what the kids drink, depending on body type and how much juice to give.
