Unlock the Hydration Puzzle: Discover the best drinks for energy, immunity, recovery, and more!

Introduction:

Health drinks have gained immense popularity in recent years, thanks to their ability to provide the body with essential nutrients and promote overall well-being. With so many options available in the market, it can be overwhelming to choose the right health drink that suits one’s specific needs.

We should also understand that as we age, our bodies require different nutrients to maintain optimal health. Additionally, if you’re an athlete, you need to replenish your body with the necessary nutrients before and after workouts. On the other hand, if you’re looking to detoxify your body, there are natural health drinks that can help. Lastly, non-alcoholic health drinks are perfect for parties and gatherings.

In this article, we’ll discuss a few types of health drinks and provide a comprehensive guide on how to select the best health drink for you, but before I start on how to select I would like to discuss a point of concern regarding the health drinks found in the market. The point of concern is the use of artificial additives, flavourings, preservatives, etc. in health drinks.

Food Additives global market size:

Best Health drinks using chemicals

U.S.FOOD ADDITIVES MARKET

Sharing the image of the U.S. Food additives market.

The global Food Additives Market size was worth USD 37.91 billion in 2022, and it is estimated to reach a valuation of USD 55.53 billion by the end of 2028, rising at a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period.

We understand the importance of the growing need for convenience food, but at least the so-called Health drinks should be free of lab-made chemicals, and convenience food should not come at the cost of human beings’ health.

Silicon dioxide- INS 551, Anticaking agent:

Now let us analyse the situation of just one product, Silicon dioxide, a derivative of silica.

Health drinks using INS 551

The market size of India in the usage of silicon dioxide.

The use of silica in the food industry in India alone is on the rise, and although manufacturers are using food-grade products that are approved by regulatory bodies the question still remains, if handed over a spoon of silicon dioxide will a person have it?

Hence we request people to read the labels carefully, especially the ingredients list, and then decide.

We have been warning our clients to stay away from chemical-laden health drinks for ages, and the media is informing the same in recent times.

Just watch the video to understand the concern raised.

Now let’s get back to the topic of healthy drinks and their categories.

1) Organic health drinks for weight loss:

If a person is looking to shed those extra pounds, organic health drinks can be an excellent choice. Organic health drinks are made from natural ingredients and contain no harmful chemicals or preservatives. These drinks are rich in nutrients and can help you feel full, curb your cravings, and speed up your metabolism. 

Any drink that is high in antioxidants help promote weight loss by boosting metabolism. 

2) Protein-rich health drinks for muscle gain:

For those looking to build muscle and increase strength, protein-rich health drinks can be highly beneficial. Protein is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in building and repairing muscle tissues. Protein-rich health drinks can help you meet your daily protein requirements, which is essential for muscle growth.

Natural plant proteins are a popular choice for those looking to increase muscle mass. They are easily digestible and contain all the essential amino acids needed for muscle growth. 

(Always read the ingredients list when you buy products from the market, beware of the products that have chemical additives, preservatives and flavourings, because these create havoc when consumed over a while.)

3) Low-sugar, high fibres health drinks for diabetes:

For people with diabetes, it’s crucial to choose healthy drinks that are low in sugar to manage blood sugar levels. Drinks that contain high amounts of sugar can cause blood sugar levels to spike, leading to complications. Low-sugar health drinks can provide essential nutrients without causing significant fluctuations in blood sugar levels. A drink with a natural source of electrolytes and ones that are high in dietary fibre can help maintain blood sugar levels. 

4) Plant-based health drinks for vegans:

Plant-based health drinks are an excellent choice for vegans and vegetarians who are looking for a nutritious and delicious alternative to animal-based drinks. Plant-based drinks are usually rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making them an excellent addition to any diet. A drink that is high in vitamin E, Omega 3 and calcium, can also help lower cholesterol levels and studies have shown that the combination of Omega 3 and Vitamin E can even stop a person’s ageing process (I mean stopping the degeneration process or stopping of the oxidative damage in the body LOL!!)

5) Health drinks for immunity:

Superfood-enriched health drinks are a natural way to boost immunity and support overall health. These drinks can help fight off infections, reduce inflammation, and improve overall well-being.

6) Nutrient-dense health drinks for adults:

As we age, our bodies require more nutrients to maintain our health. Nutrient-dense health drinks can help adults get the necessary vitamins and minerals they need. Additionally, nutrient-dense health drinks can help boost the immune system, support cognitive function, and promote healthy ageing. Nuts and seeds do help a lot in this regard.

One excellent nutrient-dense health drink for seniors is the green smoothie. The green smoothie is a blend of leafy greens, fruits, and other healthy ingredients that provide essential nutrients. Green smoothies are easy to make and are an excellent way to get a variety of nutrients in one drink.

Now, here are Few Facts before I finish:

 

These are the same lines from my book “Great Health Comes from Exercise & Nutrition”

a) Everyone is an individual, so what suits me, may or may not suit the next person.
 

b) If a person has a medical condition, a doctor’s advice and prescribed medication will only help.
 

c) While buying any protein powder from the market read the labels carefully, and Watch out for various codes, and words like Anti-caking agent, and INS 551( Also known as Silicon dioxide), All these are Laboratory made chemicals, and although approved by regulatory bodies think twice, will you consume a spoon of Silicon dioxide? And Silicon dioxide is just one product, there are numerous others like BHA ( Butylated hydroxyanisole ), BHT ( Butylated hydroxytoluene ) and the list of lab-made chemicals goes on and on with various codes, that we generally ignore.

Hence read the labels especially the ingredients list of the product before buying.
