A round of drinks, on us.
With the year-end festivities round the corner, are you thinking how you can maintain a mindful lifestyle and be deliberate about your choice of drinks? Well, we got you covered.
Here are some top picks for tasty and nutritious drinks:
Plain ol’ water: It might not be the most exciting choice, but water is essential for keeping our bodies functioning properly. Plus, it's super cheap and easy to find. Aim for at least 8 cups a day to stay hydrated and happy.
Milk: Milk is a great source of protein and calcium, which is important for strong bones. Opt for low-fat or fat-free versions to keep the saturated fat in check.
Fruit juice: While fruit juice can be a tasty treat, it's important to choose 100% juice and limit your intake to a small glass per day. Many juices have added sugars, which can lead to weight gain and other health problems.
Green tea: Swap out your sugary drinks or coffee for a cup of green tea. It's packed with antioxidants and has a ton of health benefits, like boosting brain function and reducing the risk of heart disease.
Smoothies: Smoothies are a delicious and convenient way to get a bunch of nutrients from fruits and veggies. Just make sure to mix it up with different ingredients and use low-fat milk or yogurt as a base to keep the calorie count in check.
So, there you have it! Water, milk, 100% fruit juice, green tea, and smoothies are all tasty and healthy drink options. Cheers to making better choices for your body!
