According to the same study, drinking at least one glass of vegetable juice daily can help prevent weight gain. Researchers found that compared to a health and weight management program of diet and exercise without the right amount of vegetable juice, a similar program that includes vegetable juice that is low in sodium has twice as much the potential to generate weight loss. The findings from this study virtually say that vegetable juice aids in curbing the appetite.
