Are you one of those who always want to have a drink with their meals? You do not know the world of beverages very well, do you fear the risk of gaining weight when you want to lose weight and are afraid of consuming calorie drinks?
The first thing that comes to your mind is mineral water; It can be sugar-free, light, zero, carbonated drinks and ayran.
Here are some ideas I can give you:
Without adding calories to the drinks called 'zero' Artificial sweeteners are used to sweeten it. The health effects of artificial sweeteners are controversial, and it's safer not to use high daily amounts. At the same time, the pressure created by the carbon dioxide gas added to such drinks; bloating, indigestion and gas can cause complaints. In addition, such acidic drinks can cause tooth sensitivity and increase in stomach acid, causing reflux, ulcers and gastritis complaints.
We can see cold teas, cola and other derivatives in the class called light drinks. I am aware that the words light, sugar-free or low-calorie on the packages seem very attractive at first glance. This idea can create a perception in our minds that we can consume such products without limits. This is the case most of the time, we can consume not one, not two, not two, but three.
In addition; What if I told you that a much higher amount of salt is added in these products compared to their sugary counterparts to improve the taste?
The high amount of sodium we take without realizing it also comes back to us as edema and high blood pressure.
In summary, the low calorie content of these drinks, unfortunately, does not make them any healthier. Focus on the content of the product, not the calories...
If you want to eat more of the foods that interest you in the main course, it is useful for maintaining water and electrolyte balance, which naturally contains electrolytes such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium that you will consume with your meal. Mineral waters, which are natural, will be a good option for you. Meanwhile, the thing you need to pay attention to is that the mineral water you buy has a low sodium value. lanes is preferred. When you look at the sodium value on the label on the bottle, you can safely choose brands with less than 100mg/L. . If you wish, you can enrich its aroma by adding fresh herbs such as basil and mint. Instead of brewing the disposable blackberry and apple tea bags you can find with hot water, this time you can put them in cold water, and if you want, you can even add ice to prepare your own unsweetened cold tea.
Especially in summer, a very refreshing and calorie-free drink is ready in less than a minute!
