What drinks are good and healthy when going out?
When going out, if they are thirsty, most people will choose to buy drinks, and there are many beverage choices: carbonated drinks, fruit juices, sports drinks, tea drinks... The common denominator of drinks is one word: sweet. Some people think it's okay to indulge themselves by drinking a drink occasionally, so do you know how high the sugar content of the drink you drink is?
Drinking a bottle of drink is equivalent to half a bowl of rice?
The carbohydrates in the beverage are the sum of the original carbohydrates and the added sugary sweeteners in the ingredients. It includes starch, sucrose, fructose, glucose, maltose, lactose and other carbohydrates that can be absorbed by the human body. If it is a milk-containing drink, lactose is included in the carbohydrates. If it is fruit and vegetable juice, it includes the sucrose, fructose and glucose originally contained in fruits and vegetables.
Generally speaking, the sugar content of light sweet drinks is 4% to 5%, while the sugar content of normal sweet drinks is 8% to 11%. In other words, if the capacity of a bottle of beverage is 500 ml, then for a light sweet drink, the sugar contained in it is 25 grams of sugar, and for a normal sweetness drink, the sugar contained is 50 grams. The calories of 50 grams of sugar are 200 kilocalories, which is equivalent to more than half a bowl of rice.
What drink is good and healthy?
1. Mineral water
Drinking natural mineral water has many benefits to the human body. For example, it can replenish the trace elements needed by the human body. Weak alkali mineral water can effectively neutralize acid toxicity and prevent cell cancer and mutation. Moreover, natural small molecule mineral water can more easily enter human cells, dissolve toxic substances on the cell walls and emulsify excess cholesterol and fat. In fact, mineral water is not completely tasteless. Good mineral water will have a natural clear sweetness.
2. Fruit and vegetable juice
There are no freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices, and some supermarkets also choose healthy fruit and vegetable juices to drink.
On the back of the juice bottle, we will see a nutritional ingredient list. If it says 100% pure juice, such juice has relatively high nutritional value, but compared with fresh fruits, it still loses a lot of vitamin C and dietary fiber., other nutrients (such as beta-carotene, flavonoids and other phytochemicals) still exist and the price is relatively expensive. Such as grape juice, orange juice, pear juice, mango juice, tomato juice or pomegranate juice, etc.
If you mark 40% to 60% of the original pulp under the ingredients list. Students must not think that it is not good to have fruit juice that is not 100% pure, because some fruits (such as hawthorn and wild jujube) are very sour after juicing, and cannot be drunk without diluting it, so you must add water to restore it. This kind of juice can also be selected.
Therefore, everyone can choose to drink drinks when going out and avoid some high-sugar drinks. If you are a sugar lover, give it up!
