Juices and sugar content

[cemas]

I have 3 glasses a day and they have tons of sugar content
1-pineapple
2-carrot- Naked or bottlehouse which are natural- yet high in sugars
3-cocnut water

is this OK for ttc boy......as i hear sugar is acidifying and affects blood sugars?

please advise?

You BET those juices are fine for blue! Pineapple and carrot are alkalinizing. Not sure whether coconut is alkalinizing or not but one bottle of coconut water has 600 mg of potassium!!

For maximum boy-friendliness, have your juice with protein, because the protein keeps your blood sugar from rising very high and then crashing.

Cemas, have you found a coconut water that does not taste awful? I cannot stand the taste of the kind I got!

I think coconut water may be an acquired taste...I wasn't too sure of it myself at first but by the third bottle I was hooked on it (too bad because it's kinda spendy!!!)

I am drinking Zico Coconut water and I LOVE IT. We've been visiting family and my mom and my brother wanted to try it and I was nervous that they would drink it up (it ain't cheap) but they both hated it. My brother called it Ethanol. DH likes it like me. Go figure!

OH forgot to mention that I have had the Taste Nirvana kind with the little coconut chunks and liked it, and then the one I REALLY like is the kind that has aloe in it. It is sort of chunky too so be warned if you don't like that. They also have a kind that is just coconut water.

I despise the taste as well. It makes me gag. But I still like to keep some around due to its' high potassium content. What I found works for me is mixing half coconut water and half apple juice. Actually tastes kind of refreshing! Apple juice is boy friendly and high in potassium so it was a good way for me to get some coconut water down!

Oh word, I think I've tried that kind....in a bright green squared bottle? I do like the aloe drinks. The coconut water I bought before (can't remember brand) was in a blue paper carton and tasted like dirty ass water. I hate to say it, but I need something mixed or with some sugar in it LOL, so may try that mixture, soontobe6!

I tried the kind in the blue paper carton (it was pineapple flavored) and I didn't like that one either.

The Taste Nirvana is in the glass bottle and it is square.
