4 Healthy Soft Drink Alternatives
While we can’t rave enough about the benefits of H2O, it’s not always the most exciting of beverages.
With temperatures at record breaking levels, staying hydrated is key. If you do feel like switching out a glass of water for something a little more flavoursome try to avoid the temptation of sugary fizz. And don’t fall in to the trap of replacing your old favourite with the diet version. Filled with equally harmful artificial sweaters that disrupt you gut microbiome, they can actually cause your body to hold on to fat, totally cancelling out your reason for choosing them in the first place.
Thankfully these days there are plenty of healthier options to choose from, with many specifically geared towards healthy lifestyles and packed full of ingredients designed to do your body good.
From ‘feels good’ waters to ginger infused immunity booster shots and fizzy drinks that actually improve your microbiome, its time to embrace the new generation of healthy soft beverages.
