After several articles, we have put together three articles covering some of our healthy beverages, healthy fruits and nuts, and healthy foods that perhaps have stood out for their health benefits.
If you search through this site and my blogroll sites, you will find some of these foods and drinks covered in more detail.
This first segment is going to list… “Drinks Good For You”

WATER
MILK
CHOCOLATE MILK
GREEN TEA
MINT TEA
TOMATO JUICE
ORANGE JUICE
Most people think of “WATER” as the most needed for a healthy body. Water is crucial for survival — it’s the foundation for your body fluids such as your blood and digestive juices.
Water helps nutrients get absorbed and be transported, and it helps eliminate waste. If you should lose as little as 1 percent to 2 percent of your body weight, it can seriously impact your body’s ability to function. It’s commonly said that you should drink eight eight-ounce glasses of water a day to stay healthy. This is just a common rule, as so many factors can affect how much water your body needs.
CAUTION: not all water is EQUAL, or even good for you. Some Tap water can be potentially contaminated with chemicals, pesticides or even pharmaceutical drugs.
And bottled water, which is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has weaker regulations than the Environmental Protection Agency requires for tap water.Purifing your water through various processes, sometimes the need to boiling your water, or filtration of water may provide a healthier water.
This comes down to reading the fine print.
Milk curbs food cravings, helps protect against osteoporosis, stabilizes blood sugar, is the ideal source of calcium, it contains vitamin D, which is needed for maximum calcium absorption. ‘The calcium causes your body’s cells to burn the fat,allowing those who are seeking to loose weight, to choose this drink. See also our Past article on Chocalate Milk.
Mint Tea eases cramps and helps ward off indigestion. “Mint is an antispasmodic, so it can relax muscles, which combats stiffness and aches.
Soy Milk lowers risk of heart disease, contains soluble fiber and soy protein, which lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and triglycerides, reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, but Soy contains phytoestrogens, which may be linked to an increased risk of breast cancer.
Tomato Juice may protect against several cancers. Tomato products are the richest source of the antioxidant lycopene, reducing the risk of lung and stomach cancer, as well as pancreatic, colorectal, esophageal, oral, breast and cervical cancers. Lycopene also appears to protect the lungs and heart against oxidative damage.
Cranberry Juice helps prevent gum disease. Research suggests that the same anti-bacterial properties present in cranberry juice that fight off urinary tract infections may also protect against periodontal disease. Experts theorize that a component of the juice called nondialysable material (NDM) inhibits bacteria from sticking to the gums.
Orange Juice is an excellent source of vitamin C, may also ward off cataracts, cancers and birth defects. It can boost your immunity. Orange juice is also a potent antioxidant that may protect you against a variety of diseases. Vitamin C improves immune-cell functioning, enabling your body to fight off infections more efficiently. It’s a good source of folate, which protects against neural-tube defects in fetuses.
There are many nutritionists who continue to debate whether fruit juices, because of their sugar content, are really healthy. Most would agree that eating whole fruit is always better for you than drinking their juice.You may want to limit your intake to no more than one glass (six to eight ounces) daily. “Make sure the label says 100 percent juice, not ‘juice drink’ or ‘cocktail.”‘
However drinking fruit juice, certain types of juice do have their benefits.
A Study by the University of California, Los Angeles, ranked 10 beverages according to their levels of disease-fighting antioxidants. The conclusion was that the 10 best antioxidant-rich beverages were mostly fruit juices.
