What drink is healthier to drink during the Spring Festival?

With the approach of the Spring Festival, there are not a few media that comment on the Spring Festival diet or put forward relevant health suggestions. Eating less greasy, drinking less, eating more vegetables and doing more exercise are nothing more than these old sayings. This is also a good opportunity to talk about healthy eating.

A newspaper asked a more specific question: If we don't drink, what should we drink for dinner? Can you line up all kinds of drinks for us so that everyone can choose their own suitable drinks?

This question is difficult to answer. Wanted to think, drinks can be divided into four categories according to their nature:

The first category, the most recommended beverage, basically does not need to be restricted.

These drinks are sugar-free, fat-free, calorie-free or low-calorie drinks, and they are also traditional drinks. Including mineral water, light lemonade, green tea, black tea, Pu 'er tea, oolong tea and other teas, rose, chrysanthemum, osmanthus fragrans, barley tea, buckwheat tea and light soybean milk.

Mineral water, light lemonade, wheat tea and light soybean milk are all for everyone to drink. Barley tea and buckwheat tea contain B vitamins and amino acids, which also help digestion; Tea contains vitamin C, potassium and a lot of polyphenols, which can also help digestion. Needless to say, the nutrition of soybean milk. Choosing tea depends on your physique. I like to drink green tea and chrysanthemums cold, and black tea, roses and osmanthus flowers warm. If you are afraid of affecting your sleep at night, you can not choose varieties containing caffeine and theophylline.

The second category is recommended drinks. It is harmless for healthy people to drink two cups, but moderate drinking is beneficial.

This drink contains sugar and energy, but it has high nutritional value, and it is good for health if drunk in moderation. Including sweet soybean milk, yogurt, lactic acid bacteria drinks, 100% fruit juice, pure tomato juice, hawthorn fruit tea, fresh corn syrup, fruit vinegar, low-sugar sports drinks and so on.

These drinks are rich in minerals and some vitamins. Fruit and vegetable drinks contain dietary fiber such as pectin, especially hawthorn drinks. Nowadays, corn steep liquor is often made of corn steep liquor partner, but this partner has no other harmful substances except essence, and some soluble dietary fiber is added for thickening. Dietary fiber such as pectin plays an active role in preventing overeating, controlling the rapid rise of blood lipid and blood sugar, and delaying alcohol absorption. It is conducive to holiday diet.

It should be noted that because these drinks contain sugar, diabetic patients should control the amount except tomato juice with low sweetness. The sweetness of fruit vinegar is often higher than that of pure fruit juice, so it is suitable for drinking in small quantities, not in large cups.

The third category is sweet drinks, which have low nutritional value.

Such as various fruit juice drinks, tea drinks and the like. This drink is low in vitamins and minerals, and contains sugar, essence, pigment and so on. It is ok for adults to drink a little instead of alcohol, but children should not drink a lot with meals.

The fourth category is beverages that are obviously not conducive to nutrition and health.

Such as carbonated drinks, coffee with milk and sugar, and bubble tea. In addition to extremely low nutritional value, sugar and saturated fat, it also contains other ingredients that are not conducive to nutrient absorption or disease prevention, such as phosphoric acid, caffeine and trans fatty acids. Such drinks should be used as little as possible, especially for children and patients with chronic diseases.
