Looks like you’re in need of something that will help kick-start your day!
Hey Viewers!
After 6 to 8 hours of sleep, our bodies need to be hydrated.
Drinking water is great for you but doesn't help fight the feeling of drowsiness.
Luckily, we're here to help you start your day off right! In today's video, we'll discuss our
list of the top 10 refreshing drinks to help you get your day started! Let's Begin...
Have you ever heard of Golden Milk?
Golden Milk, also known as turmeric milk, is a popular drink in India that is traditionally
made by warming up milk, with turmeric and other spices such as cinnamon and ginger.
You can use both dairy-based and plant-based milk for this drink.
The key ingredient, turmeric, contains a special antioxidant called curcumin which has been used in
Ayurvedic medicine for centuries due to its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Studies show that curcumin may increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels,
a hormone that helps your brain form new connections and promotes brain cell growth.
According to research, curcumin also acts as an antidepressant
and may potentially reduce depression symptoms.
The other ingredients in golden milk are ginger and cinnamon, which also have
excellent anti-inflammatory properties and help lower blood sugar levels and improve digestion.
Next up, we have Mushroom Coffee.
Mushroom coffee blends ground mushrooms and coffee beans to brew a dark, smooth
nutty coffee. The mushrooms used in this coffee are extracts of medicinal mushrooms like Chaga,
turkey’s tail, lion’s mane, reishi, and cordyceps.
Medicinal mushrooms have been commonly used in Chinese medicine for centuries because they
contain compounds called adaptogens, which can improve the body’s response to stress.
Since the 1970s, researchers have been interested in the adaptogens from medicinal mushrooms because
of their health benefits, including improving immunity, preventing cancer, and r educing
the risk of heart disease. Mushroom coffee also has lower caffeine than regular coffee.
Next, we move on to Aloe Juice.
You must have heard about Aloe Vera and the wonders it does for the skin and hair.
But did you know you can also drink its juice for great health benefits?
A study observed improved blood sugar and blood fatty acid levels in those with pre-diabetes who
consumed aloe vera juice. Another research indicated that aloe vera gel and juice
might lower fasting blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It can also help
with digestive issues such as gastroesophageal reflux disease and irritable bowel syndrome.
But for these miracles to work, you should follow a healthy diet.
Having aloe juice will instantly recharge your body, and you will be all set to start your day.
Up next, we have Pomegranate Tea
If you don’t like the bitterness of your green tea, you can sweeten it up by making it into
pomegranate tea. Make pomegranate juice in a jar, add half a cup of chilled green tea, and enjoy!
Pomegranate tea is good for the heart as it boosts cardiovascular health
and lowers blood pressure levels. Its rich antioxidant also prevents aging.
It also reduces the risk of various cancers and helps promote weight loss.
Try this drink for a few mornings and watch as it grows over you.
Next, we have Green Juice.
Green juice has been one of the last decade’s biggest health and wellness trends.
From celebrities to wellness bloggers, green juice is a hit among everyone.
Not everyone has the time to prepare healthy meals to fulfill our nutrition requirements.
Here comes green juice to the rescue. Starting
the day with this juice will help you hydrate and boost your fiber intake.
Research shows that consuming green leafy vegetables helps reduce the
risk of heart disease and also the risk of age-related mental decline.
Another study showed that certain compounds in fresh juice could function as prebiotics,
which feed and supports the growth of beneficial bacteria in your digestive tract.
Have you ever heard of Green Tea Lassi?
It is a yogurt-based drink with water,
spices, and sometimes fruit. There are both salty and sweet lassis.
Add green tea to your lassi and give yourself that refreshing feeling on a hot summer morning.
It’s a great companion for your breakfast. Enjoy the creaminess
of the smoothie on your taste buds as it hydrates your body.
Up next we have Black Coffee with Grass-fed butter
Feeling a little tired and sleepy? Get your day started with energy-packing black coffee. Now,
many are skeptical about adding butter to their coffee. But if you are planning
on holding off breakfast for later or don’t have enough time to eat breakfast,
you should definitely try butter coffee.
Brew 1 cup of black coffee and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Add 1
to 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, or you can choose ghee,
a type of clarified butter with lower lactose. Mix all the ingredients in a blender for
20 to 30 seconds until it gets a foamy latte texture, and there you have it! Butter coffee.
On to Yerba Mate.
Yerba mate, a traditional South American drink, is said to have the strength of coffee,
tea’s health benefits, and chocolate’s sweetness.
It contains less caffeine than regular coffee while providing a higher concentration of
anti-inflammatory antioxidants than green tea and supports the immune system and weight loss.
Hang tight. We're almost at the end of our list!
Next, we have Apple Cider Vinegar.
Apple cider vinegar is a popular home remedy. Apple cider vinegar has various
healthy properties, including antimicrobial and antioxidant effects. Many people claim it
can relieve a wide range of health complaints. Evidence suggests that this drink can also aid
weight loss, reduce cholesterol, lower blood sugar levels and improve the symptoms of diabetes.
You are missing out if you haven’t added apple cider vinegar to your morning routine.
At last, we come to Coconut Water
Coconut water is, hands down, the best drink to have first thing in the morning. It’s not
just tasty, but also refreshing and healthy. It energizes your body while it hydrates you.
Coconut water contains potassium, sodium, and magnesium, which means this drink is
full of electrolytes. Electrolytes can support various bodily processes that can affect your
energy levels. You’ll feel more sluggish if you don’t have enough electrolytes.
By drinking coconut water, you’ll give your body the boost it needs to function properly.
Make sure you're drinking fresh coconut water and avoid products that have any additives.
Coconut water is amazing just the way it is, without the need for any extra ingredients.
You should definitely give it a try.
