When it comes to your nutrition, you always strive to make healthy food choices. But, do you think about your drink choices? The drinks you consume can undo a lot of the hard work you put in by making healthier food choices. With that in mind, here are the three best drinks you can have for overall health and wellbeing.

Water

Water is the absolute best drink you can possibly put in your body. We desperately need water to stay hydrated and ensure loads of processes around the body happen correctly. What’s more, it contains no calories and no sugars. You can even find some water that’s infused with vitamins and minerals, further boosting its health benefits. 

The main problem people have with water is that it’s bland. But, you can make it flavorsome by adding fruit to it, which infuses the water and makes it taste better. This is way better than drinking fruit juice, which contains loads of sugar that can be really bad for your general and oral health. 

Milk

Milk is another drink that’s super healthy for you. It contains protein, calcium, and lots of other vitamins and minerals. We’re told to drink milk when we’re little as it helps our bones get stronger, and this is absolutely true - all thanks to the calcium in it. 

If you’re dairy-free, look for plant-based milk with good calcium levels and added vitamins/minerals. 

Coffee

Believe it or not, coffee can be good for you. The problem with coffee is it gets a bad reputation because of caffeine. But, coffee actually contains antioxidants, and caffeine is good at helping you focus and feel more alert.

Obviously, the key is moderation. Don’t drink tons of cups of coffee per day - and avoid coffee drinks that are packed full of extra calories. Black coffee or coffee with a splash of milk is the healthiest. Going to Starbucks and getting a double-stacked triple whipped Frappuccino with extra syrup is not healthy. You know that! Another minor concern is that coffee can stain your teeth. However, this is only if you drink a lot of it. Plus, places like Ledbetter Family Dental Care provide teeth whitening services anyway, so the stains can be reversed. 

These are the main drinks you should look to consume regularly. It’s okay to have a glass of wine or some soda now and then - but do so sparingly. If you want to maintain good health, these are the three drinks to focus on. Having said that, you should still look to consume them all in moderation. Even water can be bad if you drink too much every day as it will make you pee excessively!
