Seasonal Health Drinks
January 14, 2009
Many men mistakenly assume that drinks either need to be good, hard fun so alcoholic in nature or pure protein and muscle-building stuff, so filled with health supplements. However, what such men fail to appreciate is the fact that drinks can be fun and healthy at the same time while also appealing to their taste buds.
Go natural this season with health drinks you can easily make at home instead of going in for the artificially flavoured, tetra-packed ones you usually see in the super-market. The latter not only contain preservatives and extra sugars that are harmful if taken too frequently, they are also expensive and not as pure as the natural goodness of fresh fruit and vegetables grown organically and hand-made into juices by you at home, where you can also control the level of hygiene through self-handling of the entire process.
One the best bets for seasonal health drinks, especially for those living in tropical countries comprise a mix of pineapple, apple and watermelon (add in a pinch of rock salt and half a teaspoon of sugar for taste if you like or a dash of lime juice cordial for a smashing summer cooler). This drink-mix is great for dispelling extra salts from the body and also nourishes the kidney and bladder.
Another great seasonal health drink is made by combining 3 kiwis, a cucumber and an apple; this is beneficial for men who want to improve their dull, sluggish complexion for a healthier, even tone.
Those wanting to regulate their sugar intake can opt for blending a pear with a banana while putting a single carrot, an apple, a pear and half a mango through the mixie will help combat high body temperatures, reduce toxicity, lower BP and aid oxidation process.
If you want to increase cell activity and also improve your body’s immunity, we’d recommend blending honeydew with black grapes (3-4), a couple of slices of watermelon with some milk; but one seasonal health drink that boosts metabolism and also improves skin conditioning is made with a small papaya, 2 slices of pineapple and some toned milk! If you substitute the papaya with a banana, the drink is vitamin enriched besides treating constipation naturally!
