Let’s talk healthy drinking

So, you enjoy a drink – who doesn’t? What if your favourite drink just got a whole lot healthier and even more delicious? OK, we are talking about soft drinks now, but soft drinks that can be a mixer or drunk straight. Your choice. There’s nothing like a cold drink on a hot day, but many of them come with as much as nine or 10 teaspoons of sugar in a bottle or can.

In our increasingly health-conscious world where eating healthily is becoming the norm, it’s time to take healthy drinking more seriously too. Sugary drinks are the biggest source of sugar for children and young people, and in the top five for adults.

They don’t generally provide any nutrition – just calories and damage to teeth. Isn’t it time we thought more about how to make what we drink as important as what we eat? You don’t have to stop enjoying your drinks, but you can be more selective in your choices. For a start, you can look at the list of ingredients to see if there are additives are in it. How much of the content is from natural sources? Try whenever possible to choose a drink with no artificial additives or flavourings.

Ginger beer has been a popular drink for centuries, and ginger’s health-giving virtues have long been well understood. It’s a warming drink in winter too. Now, you can find ginger in a variety of different delicious drinks, blended with a variety of fresh fruits. Look for those that don’t use additives and use fresh ingredients only.

Why Drink Ginger?

Ginger has long been acknowledged for its numerous health benefits. Loaded with antioxidants – essential natural compounds that help prevent and reduce stress on the body’s DNA – ginger is also a natural immune booster and potent anti-

inflammatory.

  • Naturally protective and with one of the highest levels of antioxidants compared to other foods, ginger helps prevent oxidative stress by stabilising cell-damaging free radicals. This means it may help protect against cancer and strokes. 

  • With anti-nausea properties, it is well known for helping to settle upset stomachs plus travel and morning sickness

  • As it is an anti-inflammatory, ginger makes a natural period pain reliever.

  • Its spicy warmth can stimulate metabolism and boost detoxification. A natural appetite suppressant, it could even aid weight loss.

  • By helping to regulate blood sugar levels it could help against diabetes too.

  • It stimulates blood flow and is even a hero herb for hangovers!

Health benefits of Vitamin C from fresh fruits are well known and understood, and, when blended with ginger, these drinks give your body an extra health boost.
