Common beverages currently on the market can be divided into eight categories: carbonated beverages, fruit juice beverages, vegetable juice beverages, milk-containing beverages, plant protein beverages, special functional beverages, bottled drinking water, and tea beverages. Due to the different ingredients contained in the beverages,

Their nutritional value is also different, and they have different pros and cons for human health.

Here are some examples - Generally speaking, apart from sucrose, aerated "carbonated drinks" contain almost no nutrients.

Therefore, they are included in the scope of "junk food" by nutritionists.

Carbonated drinks use sucrose, carbonate, citric acid, etc. as the main ingredients, and the fruit juice content is less than 2.5%. Most products rely on artificial flavors and organic acids to create fruity flavors.

1. Coca-Cola drinks: Contain high amounts of caffeine, and caffeine is a central stimulant that can stimulate increased gastric acid secretion, excite the human brain, speed up breathing, and speed up the heart rate, so people who often suffer from insomnia should not drink it.

"Red Bull" is added with a variety of vitamins and is a drink with the function of supplementing nutrients. However, it contains high caffeine content and can only be consumed by adults.

2. Soda drinks: They do not contain vitamins or minerals. Their main ingredients are sugar, pigments, spices and carbonated water. They have almost no nutrients except calories.

3. Fruit juice drinks: low in calories, relatively rich in nutrients and rich in taste.

Juice is a good source of vitamin C and various mineral elements, and also contains a certain amount of sugar.

Pure fruit juice has higher nutritional value, but because of its high price, it is often not as popular with consumers as "juice drinks" in the market.

Fruit juice drinks contain about 10% pure juice, but the content of other nutrients is low.

Since consumers want to obtain vitamin C from juice drinks, juice drink manufacturers often add additional vitamin C to their products to increase the nutritional value of the products and also serve as a preservative.

Coconut water contains a large amount of plant protein, 17 kinds of amino acids needed by the human body, and trace elements such as zinc, calcium, and iron. It is the natural drink with the highest amino acid content in the world so far.

The vitamin E it contains can maintain women's youthful vitality, the rich zinc can promote the development of girls, magnesium can improve the circulatory system of the elderly, and ribofolvitin phospholipid is a high-grade fuel that enhances sexual function.

Drinking coconut water regularly will not only prevent weight gain, but can also reduce human blood lipid levels and prevent hyperlipidemia, thus playing a cardiovascular health role.

In addition, coconut water also contains a substance that can kill parasites in the human body, making the blood smooth and the skin rosy.

4. Coffee: Except for caffeine, it has low nutritional value and is suitable for flavoring drinks. It is best to add milk when drinking.

If you are addicted to drinking for a long time, it can cause palpitations and irregular heartbeats, so you must exercise restraint.

5. Beer: A carbon dioxide-containing low-alcohol beverage brewed from barley malt and hops through yeast fermentation.

Because beer usually contains vitamin B and the mineral potassium, drinking it in moderation has the effects of appetizing, clearing eyesight, strengthening the spleen, quenching thirst, and diuresis.

6. Milk: The most nutritious of all beverages, rich in protein, calcium, phosphorus, vitamins A, B2, etc.

Lactose is a carbohydrate contained in milk, which can promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms in the human intestine. Therefore, milk is called a "nutrient warehouse."

Children should be encouraged to drink more milk.

Milk and soy milk are the beverages with the highest nutritional value and are rich in many nutrients.

Milk is a good source of protein, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, niacin and vitamin D, and its protein content can reach 3%.

7. Tea beverages: Tea contains tea tannins, tea polyphenols and other ingredients, which have good health care effects on the human body.

In addition to quenching thirst, diuresis and preventing heatstroke and cooling, regular drinking can also prevent coronary heart disease and achieve weight loss and bodybuilding.

8. Yoghurt: Made by adding lactic acid bacteria to milk and fermenting it under heat.

Lactic acid bacteria can increase the acidity in the human digestive tract, inhibit the reproduction of putrefactive bacteria, promote intestinal peristalsis, and make stool smooth.

Therefore, yogurt is a better nutritional drink, especially suitable for children to drink.

Soy milk is a good source of protein, vitamin B1, niacin and various trace elements, with a protein content of up to 2.5%.

Drinking these drinks regularly is very beneficial to your health.

In addition, the nutritional value of peanut milk and walnut milk is close to that of soy milk.

9. Pure activated water: It is a colorless and odorless drink that can promote energy release and metabolism.

Its osmotic pressure is close to that of physiological saline, which is beneficial to cell absorption, and its ability to dissolve fat is much higher than that of ordinary water.

10. Almond milk and various fruit milks, milk drinks, lactic acid drinks, etc. contain about 1% protein. Their nutrient content is less than 1/3 of milk, and they are also classified as nutritional drinks.

Carbonated drinks have no nutrients except sugar; purified water tastes sweet but does not contain the minerals needed by the human body.

Consumers who are becoming increasingly health-conscious are no longer satisfied with just quenching their thirst.

Non-mainstream drinks that advertise health: tea drinks, pure juices and functional drinks are beginning to become popular.

·Tea drinks are refreshing and thirst-quenching, low in price, and contain little sugar, making them the first non-mainstream "dark horse" to become popular.

·Pure fruit juice is rich in nutrients but seems “a bit expensive”. Consumers have not yet figured out that “actually its price is not high”.
