Speaking of the topics that people are most concerned about right now, health and wellness is definitely one of them. With the improvement of overall living standards, everyone pays more attention to their physical health. It's midsummer now, and it can be said that everyone can't live without drinks, but there are so many types, and not all of them are good for us.
Like an icy cold drink, it may be okay to drink occasionally, but in the long run, the body will be greatly stimulated. After the top five "healthy drinks" were announced, carbonated drinks and milk tea, which are often consumed by young people, were not among them, but it was somewhat surprising that yogurt was not on the list either. Next, let us find out which drinks are healthier ~
1. Green tea
There are six major types of tea in our country, but the one with the longest history is green tea. After generations of development, it has a wide audience and far-reaching influence. The production of green tea is relatively simple because it does not ferment. Without this step, a lot of fresh leaf substances are retained in the finished tea, so the taste is more refreshing and natural.
In ancient times, people discovered that drinking green tea can make people feel refreshed. In fact, this is because it contains a large amount of tea polyphenols, catechins and other substances. Especially when the summer heat is strong, drinking this tea can gradually dissipate the heat, so there is a folk saying of "drinking green tea in summer".
There are many kinds of green tea, many of which are famous, such as Longjing , Maojian , Biluochun, etc., these are all famous teas. Generally speaking, green tea is characterized by its green color and clear tea soup. It is not advisable to use boiling water to brew this tea. The water temperature of about 80 degrees will better extract its nutrients.
2. Soda water
Soda water is very common in supermarkets. It is a very popular drink nowadays. Unlike plain water, soda water is weakly alkaline in nature, and drinking it is very helpful for the balance of the human body.
Natural soda water is mined deep in the rock formations. It tastes sweet and smooth. It contains many trace elements and minerals and is easily absorbed, so it is an ideal health drink.
But there are many mixed sodas on the market now. When choosing, you must look for pure natural ones. If you see white sugar, flavors or other additives in the ingredient list, it means they are processed and don’t choose them.
3. Scented Tea
Although scented tea is not as old as green tea, it has existed in our country for a long time. Modern flower tea processing technology is becoming more and more advanced. Compared with tea leaves, tea made from flowers is obviously more beautiful, and different flowers have a variety of flavors and nutrients. Therefore, this kind of tea is very popular among the people.
Among them, chrysanthemum tea has been highly sought after by people since the Tang Dynasty due to its unique charm. Today, many people, regardless of gender, old or young, have the habit of soaking in chrysanthemums every day. Chrysanthemum is cool in nature, so it is often recommended to be drunk in summer and is recognized as one of the most irritating tea drinks.
Chrysanthemums are rich in nutrients, including a variety of trace elements, vitamins, flavonoids, etc., especially "Bianju" Qingchiju, which has a very high content of flavonoids. Many old tea drinkers in life have a special liking for Qingchiju. If you have the need to deal with internal heat, you can try it.
4. Coffee
Coffee originated in Africa, and then spread rapidly in Western countries and remains popular today. In recent years, a "coffee craze" has gradually emerged in our country. Some office workers and student parties are very fond of it, and even some middle-aged and elderly people also drink this drink.
But there are also many people in life who believe that drinking coffee is not beneficial. This view is one-sided. Since coffee can be ranked among the three major beverages in the world, it certainly makes sense, and drinking it also has certain benefits for people. Just need to take the right amount each time, like one cup (200ml) a day is no problem. For example, after a lunch break in summer, drinking a little coffee can help people feel tired, but it should be noted that it cannot be drunk on an empty stomach.
5. Fruit Drinks
Fruits are an essential part of our diet. Basically every fruit contains a lot of vitamins.In summer, various fruit drinks are very popular. There are many kinds of fruits, and when making fruit drinks, they usually combine a variety of them, such as the popular kumquat and passion fruit.
Kumquats are small in shape and turn bright orange when ripe. They contain a large amount of VC and dietary fiber and have a sweet taste. Passion fruit tastes sour and has black particles in the fruit. In addition to VC, it also contains a large amount of VE and calcium. The combination of these two fruits is delicious and healthy, and is suitable for all ages. But it is usually troublesome to make fruit drinks by yourself, so fruit tea bags appeared.
Take kumquat and passion fruit as an example. Qimu’s fruit bag made of freeze-drying technology has been praised by many people. It is individually packaged. Whenever you want to drink, you can take out a bag and pour hot water directly. A fragrant and refreshing fruit drink will be freshly baked in a few minutes. On a hot summer day, it’s perfect to drink some sweet and sour drinks.
