Besides water, we rely on many drinks and beverages such as coffee and tea for various reasons. Whether to recover from a hangover or to make your body warm – our lifestyle has made us include few drinks in our routines.
From morning coffee to evening milk – we all have that favourite drink that we cannot imagine to live without. But if those drinks are not healthy, you may develop some bad side effects over time. And that’s why it’s necessary for us to identify healthy drinks and include them in our life.
However, due to our busy schedules, many people shift towards readymade drinks and beverages that contain a lot of preservatives. While you may enjoy their taste, the same can’t be said about your body.
So, it’s essential to fill your body with drinks and beverages that boost your health and immune system. You have to include them in your daily lifestyle to see the desired changes in your body and behaviour.
And so we have brought you here the healthy drinks from a pool of drinks to narrow down your search. Looking at the list, you can at least include 2 to 3 drinks in your lifestyle.
Green tea
It’s nearly impossible to find a person who hasn’t heard about the amazing health benefits of green tea. It is known for its light, refreshing taste and one can consume it multiple times a day without falling into the hands of side effects.
Also known for its high antioxidant content, it aids to improve your immunity system. Almost every age group (preferably teenage) can have this drink at least once a day to reap its positive benefits. So, if you are not having this drink daily, you probably should start including it.
Fat-reduced milk
People who have a habit of drinking a glass of milk daily receive all the nutrients needed for the body. As milk contains essential elements like vitamin D, protein, carbohydrate, and a little bit of fat (if it’s fat-reduced milk), it’s the perfect drink when you are having a hunger pang.
It helps your tummy stay full for a longer time. In other words, it helps people to maintain their weight.
Soy milk
If you don’t prefer the taste of cow milk, then soy milk is a better alternative. It contains fibre, protein and helps in reducing LDL fats in your body (which means low cholesterol levels).
Always prefer having soy milk with vitamin D and calcium (available in the market) to compensate for the vitamins available in natural milk. However, care should be taken about soy milk as it increases the risk of breast cancer. Talk to your doctor and then proceed forward.
Orange juice
Orange juice is one of the juices with 100% fruit content in it, which means, you don’t have to add any substitutes like sugar, milk, etc. to make it to a juice form. So, it’s the best juice to consume when you are not feeling like eating any fruit.
Moreover, orange is the best source of vitamin C which is essential to improve immunity. Vitamin C can protect your cells from mutating, thus taking you far from having cancer. It also helps to fight off the infections that you might get from scratches, etc.
Mint tea
Mint is the perfect herb for aiding digestion by allowing free passing of food in your intestines. And combined with water and lemon, mint tea makes a delighting drink to consume inthe evening or after a heavy meal. It’s also a good alternative for green tea, for those who don’t prefer its taste.
Hot chocolate
Have a hot cup of cocoa when you are not in a great mood. The elements present in the chocolate are known to boost your mood taking you out of your depressing state.
When you use dark chocolate, it’s even better as it can reduce the bad cholesterol in your body and increase good cholesterol (HDL content). However, stay away from the ready-made hot chocolate and prepare one on your own at your home to get its full benefits.
Drinks to avoid
While searching for good drinks, it’s also a good idea to keep a note of the drinks that you need to avoid. For instance, processed drinks, smoothies, fruit juices, carbonated drinks, energy drinks, etc. have high sugar content and less nutritional values. While maintaining a healthy lifestyle, it’s best not to include them in your lifestyle.
There you go, the list of healthy drinks that make you adapt to a better living. Along with the drinks, also take note of the healthy snacks that you can munch on while having your favourite drink.
