As more and more people are concerned about their health and choose a healthy lifestyle, natural, low-sugar and nutritious drinks are gradually replacing carbonated soft drinks or coffee containing a lot of sugar. Below are the types of drinks that nutritionists recommend for daily use to improve health:
1. Filtered water – an indispensable friend of the body
Nothing can replace filtered water in maintaining life and balancing the functions of the body. Drinking enough 1.5 – 2 liters of water per day helps purify the body, aid digestion and beautify the skin.
2. Green tea – natural antioxidants
Green tea contains many antioxidants such as catechins, which help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. In addition, green tea also supports weight loss and enhances memory.
3. Vegetable juice – pump vitamins into your body
Juice from carrots, celery, beets or spinach provides a rich source of vitamins and minerals. This is an ideal choice for busy people who want to supplement nutrition without having to prepare too elaborately.
4. Nut milk – an option for vegetarians and lactose intolerant
Nut milk such as almond milk, walnut milk, or oat milk is a source of calcium and healthy fats. Many nut milks are sugar-free and suitable for vegetarians or people who need to control their blood sugar.
5. Warm lemon water – an effective start to the day
Drinking a glass of warm lemon water in the morning helps cleanse the liver, strengthen the immune system and stimulate digestion. Note that you should drink it about 20-30 minutes before breakfast for best results.
6. Kombucha – fermented tea rich in probiotics
Kombucha is becoming a new trend among young people thanks to its high probiotic content, supporting digestion and improving intestinal bacteria. However, you should choose sugar-free or low-sugar products to ensure your health.
What do experts say?
According to ThS. Tran Thi Ha, nutritionist at the National Institute of Nutrition: “Choosing the right drink not only helps you feel healthy but also helps prevent many chronic diseases. However, you need to pay attention to the amount of sugar in juices or industrial nut milks.”
TIPS: Start changing from small habits – like replacing your morning cup of coffee with milk and sugar with a cup of green tea or warm lemon water – to feel a clear difference in your long-term health.
