Let’s face it, we could all make some improvements in our lifestyle; it could be said that 21st-century life encourages unhealthy practices when it comes to our diet. A high sugar intake is definitely not what the doctor ordered and with that in mind, here are a few healthy drinks that you should try with a view to changing your beverage options.
- Matcha tea – A delicious matcha tea is hard to resist and wherever you are in Australia, you’re never far from a tea/coffee shop. You can order premium teas from a leading Australian supplier with a premium range of teas from all corners of the world. Why not order a selection of teas and over a period of a few weeks, discover your preferences in the tea world. Either hot or cold, tea has many health benefits and is high in antioxidants and with milk and sugar to taste, you can create delicious tea for your guests when they visit.
- Coffee – Much like tea, coffee is generally regarded as a healthy beverage, high in antioxidants and caffeine, which is why people like to drink coffee first thing in the morning. If you are flagging in the afternoon, drinking an iced-coffee can recharge your batteries. Much like premium tea, you can order freshly ground coffee beans from the online supplier. Most Australian homes have a coffee machine in the kitchen and if you are a lover of fine coffee, order a selection from the online supplier and discover the amazing tastes that coffee can bring.
- Fresh fruit smoothies – Invest in a blender, go online and order fresh organic fruit from a local farm and you have everything you need to make delicious smoothies. Watermelon, strawberries, banana, oranges and lemons are just some of the fruits you can blend into a smoothie; check online for some tasty smoothy recipes and before long, you’ll be an expert and neighbours will soon find out and visit often!
- Water – We have so much in the way of drinks that it is easy to forget to drink water. The health experts say 6-8 glasses per day is required to stay hydrated, maybe 8-10 in the summer. If you haven’t already done so, install a water filtration system in your home and you can drink clean water from the faucet. Most homeowners keep a 2l pitcher of water in their fridge and a few slices of lemon adds some colour.
- Electrolyte – If you are an athletic type, you should always have a few bottles of electrolyte in the fridge. There are many flavours and buying online means delivery to your door; perfect post-workout to replace essential minerals that aid recovery; an iced drink of electrolyte after a bout of activity is refreshing.
By reviewing your diet and drinking habits, you are sure to find ways to a healthier lifestyle and good health is the foundation of a happy life.
