Read Part 5 of this Post Sugary And High Fat CocktailsNext time you’re at your favorite bar, consider this:
In general, the fanciest cocktails are usually the highest in calories and sugar. Better option: hard liquor such as scotch, tequila, or vodka with club soda, water or fresh lemon, lime juice or Triple Sec. Red or white wine, Bloody Mary with fresh tomato juice and light beer are also better choices. Slushies and IceesSlushies and Icees are full of sugar and loaded with calories. And even worse, many fast food places and convenience stores do not clean the machines that produce these drinks as often as they should (if ever) and so your drink may wind up being filled with mold. Better option: make frozen fruit pops at home, freeze any fruit you like and enjoy! Frozen And Premixed CocktailsFrozen and premixed packaged cocktails are loaded with empty calories (on average 280 or more per drink, some have more than a donut)and include sugar, preservatives and high fructose corn syrup! Better option: Add muddled strawberries and fresh lemon slices as your mixer or simply opt for club soda added to your favorite hard liquor with fresh limes or lemon. Ginger BeerGinger beer is one of the unhealthiest beers on the market with more calories than your average soda at 170 calories for each 7-ounce serving. Better option: light beer
Avoid The Market ShelvesThere’s more bad news. Consider for a moment that most fresh whole foods require refrigeration or they spoil. This goes for dairy, produce, meats, and drinks. So, what do you think is keeping all those drinks found on the shelves in your local market? Plenty of chemicals, most of which you can’t even pronounce. Not something, you really want to put into your body. Check LabelsBe sure to read nutritional labels of any drinks you are choosing as you can quickly determine their sugar content, calorie counts, and nutritional value.
Final ThoughtsDoes any of the above surprise you about many of these beverages marketed to the public today? Perhaps they do, especially since some are advertised and marketed with kids and teens in mind. What you drink matters as much as what you eat, and it’s really up to the consumer to take the time to read labels, investigate ingredients and nutritional data to make the best choices for the good health of you and your family. Drink well and take care! from https://www.healthy4lifeonline.com/you-are-what-you-drink-part-6/
