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.
