During the New Year, people tend to eat a lot of rich and fatty foods, which can easily lead to weight gain. Therefore, it's best to choose drinks that are oil-free and sugar-free for better health. When it comes to beverages, water is the best option—plain boiled water is perfectly fine. However, to add to the festive atmosphere, you can buy some purified or mineral water. If you must choose other drinks, follow the order below and select according to your own situation.
The first choice: Tea
Besides water, tea is probably the most popular beverage in the world. This is because tea not only contains antioxidants that help us prevent heart disease and cancer, but the key is that it has no calories—as long as you choose an unsweetened tea. Additionally, the diet during the Spring Festival is often high in fat and protein, which can be greasy and lead to indigestion. Tea can help clear this up.
Pu'er Tea: Has health benefits such as nourishing the stomach, aiding in weight loss, and improving skin condition.
Green Tea: Helps boost the immune system.
Barley Tea: Aids digestion, making it especially suitable for drinking during the New Year.
Fruit and Flower Tea: Soothes the mood and is good for the skin.
The second choice: Fruit and Vegetable Juices
If you must have a sweet drink, choose 100% pure fruit juice. Besides being rich in vitamins, it also contains no preservatives or other additives.
Pure fruit juices and hawthorn fruit tea generally have a high percentage of pure fruit juice.
The third choice: Fruit Vinegars
Fruit vinegar can aid digestion, boost metabolism, relieve fatigue, and improve the body's immunity, making it a good choice among beverages.
Sour jujube juice and apple vinegar contain more healthy components compared to some other drinks, especially aiding digestion.
The fourth choice: Protein Drinks
High-quality protein is excellent for the body's maintenance. Soy milk is highly recommended. Also, although some protein drinks contain a lot of sugar, they are still healthier than junk drinks. It's recommended to drink some yogurt before consuming alcohol, as it has a protective effect on the stomach.
