Do You Have Variety in Your Healthy Drinks?
By Tom Herrin
At times, we tend to get into a rut about whatever we do. It may be with some kind of routine or habit. For many of us, it may be the time we get up or go to bed. Another thing we do is the same old thing when it comes to what we eat or drink. If we are concerned about health, we often drink water and try to avoid a lot of the other things that may be a little less healthy. In light of this, we may make the sacrifice of anything that may have a bit more flavor. Even though that may seem like the thing to do, it may not actually be necessary in order to have good health. There are plenty of good options available, but we will do well to learn as much as possible about them.
There Is a Market for Almost Everything
The beverage market is pretty big. All we need to do is look around, and we will be sure to see all kinds of drinks. It is well worth researching. Some of the drinks have lots of added ingredients. Sugar is one that is always popular. If a drink is sweet, we may not care as much about it being healthy. A few other things are common as well. One of them is caffeine. Some drinks are loaded with many times the normal amount of caffeine in a drink such as coffee. For some individuals, this may be an excessively unhealthy amount.
You Will Seldom Go Wrong with Fruit Juices
In today's drink section, you will find lots of drinks that contain juices. We obviously have to be careful as some of these have a bit more sugar than some of us need, but there are plenty of good things such as vitamins and minerals. Some also contain antioxidants that may help fight a lot of things that may be harmful to health.
Make Your Own Light Drinks
We can actually do a few things ourselves with juices. When they are added to water, they can produce a drink that is healthy and refreshing. Many restaurants offer such options. My family and I often add juices, and maybe a few other flavors, to water for a really healthy drink that has almost no calories. I generally choose water with lime and strawberry added.
