Hello guys…

This time I will continue our list for healthy drinks part I. Have you tried green tea, peppermint tea, or soy milk before? Did you get the benefit? I hope you can get the benefit from those drinks. Well our next drink are hot chocolate and tomato juice.

1.       Hot Chocolate

Image taken from: globalimmersions.com

Hot chocolate, also known as hot cocoa, is a heated beverage consisting of shaved chocolate, melted chocolate or cocoa powder, heated milk or water, and often sugar. Hot chocolate made with melted chocolate is sometimes called drinking chocolate, characterized by less sweetness and a thicker consistency.

A study conducted by Cornell University has shown that hot chocolate contains more antioxidants than wine and tea, therefore reducing the risk of heart disease. Chocolate also increases the production of the neurotransmitter serotonin, which is responsible for regulating mood.

2.       Tomato Juice

Image taken from: redwormcomposting.com

Tomato juice was first served as a beverage in 1917 by Louis Perrin at the French Lick Springs Hotel in southern Indiana, when he ran out of orange juice and needed a quick substitute. His combination of squeezed tomatoes, sugar and his special sauce became an instant success as Chicago businessmen spread the word about the tomato juice cocktail.

Tomato juice contains the antioxidant lycopene, which may confer some health benefit, which has been associated with a reduced 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, helping to ward off cardiovascular disease.

These drinks are very tasty and you can also get the benefit for your body. Have a great day…

Helps reduce risk of osteoporosis, cancer, heart disease, and cavities. Green tea contains a rich concentration of flavonoids and polyphenols, natural antioxidants that may protect cells from carcinogens (cancer-causing substances) and inhibit tumor growth by helping to neutralize free radicals in the body. The tea's antioxidants may also guard against heart disease by relaxing blood vessels, inhibiting the formation of blood clots that trigger heart attacks and strokes. Green tea also contains fluoride, which strengthens teeth; the flavonoids may build up bones as well, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and tooth decay.

Before, we already talked about some food that contain tofu. Tofu was made from soya, and we can prove by our self that not only delicious tofu also very healthy. Basically soya is very healthy, you can make soya milk to get another benefit from this beans.

Soy milk, also referred to as soymilk or soya milk, is a plant milk produced by soaking dried soybeans and grinding them in water. A traditional staple of Asian cuisine, soy milk is a stable emulsion of oil, water and protein. Soy milk can be produced at home using a soy milk machine.

Soy milk is a complete protein and has about the same amount of protein as cow's milk; it can replace animal protein and other sources of dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals. Soy milk contains little digestible calcium because calcium is bound to the bean's pulp, which is indigestible by humans. To counter this, manufacturers enrich their products with calcium carbonate. Unlike cow's milk, soy milk has little saturated fat and no cholesterol.

Well, next time I will post the other healthy drinks for you. I hope you can use this information…
