Drink for Better Health

May 15th 2009 12:20
We all want better health, and we all want to prevent cancer, dementia, obesity, and tons of other health problems, but I bet you didn't know that it can be as easy as a simple beverage. Studies have shown that certain drinks will help ward off various health conditions so that you can have a better, healthier lifestyle.


1. Grape Juice can boosts your memory because the skin of the grapes that are pressed for the juice are one of the richest sources of the compound that stops brain cells from deteriorating.

2. Milk can sharpen your brain power and can lower your risk of dementia by at least 50% because of the high levels of Vitamin D. Milk helps clear toxins from the brain that can lead to a cognitive decline.
2a. Milk can also help prevent cavities by leaving a protective coat on your teeth.

3. Cherry Juice can help flatten your belly because of the high levels of anthocyanins, which is an antioxidants that help your body process fat and sugar better. All you need to do is drink one to two 8 ounce glasses a day.

4. Orange Juice is a great way to protect your heart because it is packed with Vitamin C. By drinking two 8 ounce glass of orange juice a day, for at least 28 days, there can be an 11% drop in the C-reactive proteins that can trigger cell-damage and inflammation in your arteries. And, by drinking at least 400mg (or 3 glasses) a day, you can lower your blood pressure four points on the top number and six points on bottom number.


5. Beer can prevent bladder cancer because they are packed with selenium, which is a mineral that turns off a gene linked to bladder cancer. By drinking one 12 ounce glass of any kind of beer- ale, pilsner, etc.- you can automatically reduce the risk by 34%.
5a. The selenium is also good for your color because it can stop the DNA damage that leads to polyps; results show a 30% reduced risk of developing that cancer, as well.

6. Iced Coffee can lower your chance of developing skin cancer by 5% because the caffeine helps to destroy cells that have been damaged by ultraviolet rays before they become cancerous.

7. Tomato Juice contains the antioxidant lycopene, which can shield bones from being weakened by free radicals. It's best to drink at least one 8 ounce glass a day. Alternatives to tomato juice can be carrot juice and watermelon, as they are both rich in lycopene, as well as tomatoes.

8. Cranberry Juice is a good source of Vitamin K which can boost your skin's elasticity, which can in turn help your skin stay smooth and supple, potentially preventing wrinkles.

9. Grapefruit Juice can help you lose an average of 3.3 pounds in 12 weeks by drinking one 8 ounce glass before every meal.

10. Peppermint Tea is a great way to beat bloat because the mint contains compounds that help make snug waistbands loose again by relaxing your intestines and released trapped gas.

11. Lemonade can help you fight fatigue because the taste and scent of lemons stimulate the nerve sin the nose, which triggers the "wake-up" sensors in the brain.

12. Apple Juice can prevent lung cancer because apples are rich in the flavonoid quercetin, which can significantly reduce the risk of lung cancer.
