Sugarcane Juice VS Cold Drinks (Health benefits of natural drinks)

Nowadays in this hot climate, people tend to drink a lot of aerated drinks or soft drinks or cold drinks to quench their thirst but they hardly care about the disadvantages of these so-called Cold drinks.

God has given us some of the best things to consume and mankind is able to bring the best out of them. Right now, I’m talking about sugarcane which is also known as it is one of the best drinks that we can make out of sugarcane by extracting its juice. It becomes a refreshing drink in summer when the heat makes us dehydrated and exhausted. Adding a little lemon juice, rock salt and mint makes it a perfect delicacy.

 I believe people should replace soft drinks with sugarcane juice as it has a lot of benefits and apart from its amazing taste.

 Sugarcane juice is packed with carbs, protein, vitamins A, B complex and C. Presence of many minerals like Phosphorus, calcium, potassium, zinc and iron makes it a completely healthy drink. 

It is full of antioxidants and fibre as well, whereas we do not find any such thing in aerated drinks though they taste good. 

 Sugarcane helps in weight loss despite its high content of natural sugar as it cleanses the gut and speeds up the metabolism which leads to weight loss if consumed in portions whereas aerated drinks are packed with high refined sugar that leads to weight gain.

 Sugarcane juice is an excellent source of instant energy. It lowers the body temperature and gives a cooling effect; it replenishes the sugar level and boosts energy, unlike aerated drinks which actually give a cooling effect but is also affecting our internal system. It seems like the drinks give us energy and cool us at the same time but this is not true.

 Sugarcane juice helps in digestion, relieves constipation and prevents infections, helps in jaundice and even kidney stones on the other hand drinks do not help for any such purpose. 

Sugarcane juice helps make bones and teeth stronger whereas fizzy drinks can lead to cavities and decay of teeth due to their high sugar content.

 Sugarcane juice is preferred for pregnant ladies as it is an immunity booster that helps in healing wounds quickly. It is a good source for the body when it comes to pain relief in STDs and UTIs whereas, in the case of aerated drinks we cannot trust them, they are just thirst quenchers but do not have any minerals or vitamins like sugarcane juice.

Cold drink makes us addicted as it has sugar that may cause dopamine release in the brain which gives the feeling of pleasure, it increases heart disease risk and high blood sugar which causes blood triglycerides.

 Be mindful and drink what is good for your health, body, mind and soul.

 Happy summers.
