Natural green plant juices have excellent nutritional properties and many functional qualities being used very often in modern diets. Due to their biological and therapeutic values, these types of juices are considered functional foods having substantial benefits for health and body balance. The therapy with green plant juices improves the physical and emotional state of the body. Natural juices offer the nutritional benefits of components in a concentrated form with the possibility of a very easy and rapid absorption in the human body. In this study natural juices from green apples (Malus domestica), cucumbers (Cucumis Sativus), parsley (Petroselinum crispum), lime and spinach (Spinacia oleracea) were analyzed by the point of view of some biophysical characteristics such as density, viscosity, pH, electrical conductivity, surface tension and refractive index. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare these characteristics for five distinct juices samples. All the data was statistically analyzed using Statistica10. The results showed a statistical correlation between the physicochemical parameters for the analyzed types of juices samples. These linear correlations determine the linear dependency between the studied biophysical parameters. In conclusion, plant juices therapy is an effective alternative for cell reconstruction and regeneration to optimal body health. A moderate consumption of green plant juices, as part of a well-balanced daily diet, offers benefits in maintaining good health and reducing the risk of illness.
