We all know how important it is to get adequate nutrition during the day, but it’s just as important to consider what you drink as well as what you eat. Your daily fluid intake provides not just your hydration requirements, but it’s also a chance to increase your intake of vitamins, minerals and fiber, too. If you’re smart about your choice of drinks and how you incorporate them into your daily routine, you could boost your skin and overall health without much stress.

Here are some of the best drinks you need to keep your bowels functioning properly as well as boost your skin health.

1.      WATER

Water is the most essential fluid for your body. It prevents dehydration, constipation, and kidney stones. Plus, with no calories, it’s the best beverage for your waistline. Drinking water whether bottled or from the tap, can help keep you well hydrated and maintains regular kidney and bowel function. For a bit of flavor and health benefit, try adding fresh mint, lemon, lime or even cinnamon sticks to your water.

2.     SOY MILK

From the day we are born, milk forms the most important part of our diet. As we grow older, the benefits of milk become no less important. Soy milk is a nutritious high-protein option. Almond milk is also a good low-cholesterol option, but it’s much lower in protein.

3.     GREEN TEA

Green tea is a great choice for its vitality benefits and experts say it may even aid in blood sugar regulation and metabolic health. If you are looking for an alternative to coffee, this might be your best bet. Green tea contains a lower dose of caffeine than coffee and helps you avoid side effects like jitters or headaches, but can still keep your energy levels stable.

4.     LOW FAT MILK

Low-fat and fat-free milk are both budget-friendly and nutritionally complete beverages. In fact, milk is one of the best sources of calcium, which your body needs to support bone health. 
Apart from drinking it straight, you can make your own hot cocoa with milk.

5, VIRGIN PUNCH JUICE

A fruit and vegetable juice can help with your fluid intake as well as provide you with additional vitamins, fibre and minerals. It’s important to drink good-quality fruit and veggie juice. Fruity, with an instant power to boost up your energy levels, this juice recipe makes the most of fruits like apple, mango, orange and some sparkling lemonade. 

5.     GREEN GRAPE SMOOTHIE

We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day; however some people don’t have the time to sit down and enjoy a full spread. Drink your way to good health by preparing a smoothie to enjoy as you begin your day. Try the green grape smoothie. This delicious, healthy smoothie features spinach and kale, the cancer-fighting greens that keep you going as well as sweet grapes, pear, orange and banana. Place all ingredients in a blender, process until blended and njoy.

6.     FRUIT JUICE

A cup of no-sugar-added juice with breakfast or a snack is fine, but for kids and adults, it’s best to eat fruit in its whole form, and limit how much juice you get. If you just enjoy the taste, add a splash or two to a glass of water. Avoid juices with added sugar.
