1. The best juice to have in your glass is tomato juice as it's rich in lycopene which reduces your risk of developing cancer. Pulpy juices contain a lot of fibre and keeps you fuller. Vegetable juices also contain a lot less sugar and are lower in calories.
2. If you want to gain weight consider choosing blended juices as they contain higher calories. On the downside, they also contain a lot more sugar and they aren't as nutritious.
3. I've never had pomegranate juice. It does have a high sugar and calorie content, but it also have a ton of antioxidants. One 8 oz of pomegranate juice daily reduces the recurrence of prostate cancer.
4. Cranberry juice is good for UTI (Urinary Tract Infections) and it's packed with Vitamin C.
5. Blueberry juice contain antioxidants that improves brain function. It protects against age-related diseases like Alzheimer's.
6. Acai berry juice is said to have higher concentration of antioxidants than blueberries, cranberries and other types of berries.
7. Eating 6 cherries a day reduces pain and inflammation in arthritis and it eliminates gout. Drink cherry juice before and after you exercise to reduce muscle pain.
8. Prunes are naturally high in fibre content and it's recommended for use of constipation. Prune juice contains antioxidants, potassium and iron. 
9. Orange juice is rich in Vitamin C and immune boosting powers. It contains fewer calories than some of the other fruit juices and it's not as rich in antioxidants.
10. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends no more than 4-6 oz of pure fruit juice per day for kids under 6 and 8-12 oz for ages 7-18. Juices can also be watered down to reduce the calorie content.

I'm off to eat cherries right now. I just bought them today!
Great idea about the tomato juice. I like to add a little lemon juice and it is filling.
I love fruit juices all but orange juice. I am just not a fan of oranges.
I love making a mixed berry juice with my juicer machine and throw in some ice to make it ice cold, I am all over that!
In a few weeks our mulberries will be in (we have a few mulberry trees) and I plan on juicing a few of those, some jam and some pie!
Thanks for this information; It's good to have variety of choices in choosing what you will have for a fruit juice.
I'm glad there are a good variety to choose from. I love V8 and it's like a meal in itself with all the vegetables.
It would be nice to grow your own fruits and then juice them.
Thanks everyone for dropping by and commenting. :)
Hi,
Lemon is a small, egg-shaped, edible citrus fruit with a yellow rind and a juicy, sour pulp, rich in ascorbic acid. Not known to everyone lemon has got numerous health benefits of lemon.
Have a look on some of is health benefits:
a) Add the juice of half a lemon to the early morning tumbler of hot or cold water, for a clear complexion.
b) Lemon juice is an excellent treatment for dandruff and greasy hair.
Thanks
You absolutely need to try pomegranate juice, it's so delicious! It's also wonderful in salad dressing!
I've used a vinagrette pomergranate salad dressing and I know it's wonderful. On vacation recently, I had a juice blend of acai, pomegranate and blueberry. It tasted so healthy. :)
Juicy facts that I must remember when I choose my juice of the day.maybe you could enlighten about the smoothies too?
