How to Choose a Health Drink

image
Have you made the resolution to give up soft drinks for health drinks? Just because a beverage is labeled as a health drink doesn't mean it's the best drink for your situation. The following guidelines should enable you to make wise choices when deciding which health drink is best for you.
Before we get started, you need to establish why you need the health drink. Are you looking to drink instead of eat a meal? Are you drinking this to help you build muscle after a hard workout? Hydrating after intense exercise in challenging weather? Or were you simply thirsty? You always want to check health drink labels to make sure they really are all natural and made from good fruits and veggies, but you'll also want to match needs and ingredients as follows.
If you need a meal replacement, you'll need to consider calories first.
This is especially important if you are following a diet with restricted calories. The meal replacement health drink should also be low sugar and high protein. It should also contain some fat, and if you're lucky, some fiber (although you can always add in some metamucil or eat a Benefiber tablet). Those are the three ingredients that satisfy your hunger and stick with you: protein, fat, and fiber.

If you’re recovering from a weight lifting workout, you’ll want a health drink that is high in protein. You can buy prepared recovery drinks or make your own with protein powder.

If you've just completed a triathlon or finished a half-day tennis camp in the blazing sun, your body is dying for water, sugar, and electrolytes.
If you just need something to drink, you’ll want to opt for a low calorie, low sugar health drink. This is so you won’t drink your calories for the day.

Experiment with various health drinks until you find the ones that best meet your needs.
