Ahhhh…Nutritious and Refreshing!

Women’s Health lists four nutrient-packed, healthy beverages you can add to your diet. Nutrition advisor Lisa Drayer, R.D. recommends the following tasty drinks:

100% cranberry-grape juice - antioxidants in grape juice slow down LDL cholesterol oxidation, and cranberry juice raises HDL or “good” cholesterol and protects against urinary tract infections, E. coli, and tooth decay
Iced green tea - antioxidant EGCG helps lower cardiovascular disease risk
Fruit-spiked H2O - water lowers colon cancer risk, hydrates skin, smoothes complexion
Light soy milk - reduces heart disease risk and is packed with protein, B vitamins, vitamin D, isoflavones, and zero saturated fat.
