Healthy drink alternatives

January 08, 2006

Spending all day at work in an office or working from home the easy option is to put the kettle on to make a tea or coffee. In an office it is easy to go to the vending machine and get a drink. The only problem with this is that it is not very healthy.

Healthy drink alternativesEveryone knows that you should drink plenty of water, as much as 2 litres a day. I bet you didn't know that you can burn up to an extra 100 calories a day by drinking cold water. This is because the body has to heat the water to body temperature. Add a drop of lemon into your water and this will also help cleanse your liver.

Green tea is also thought to be a healthy alternative to coffee. The antioxidants in green tea are claimed to help prevent cancer of the throat and stomach. Drinking 5 cups of green tea a day can also contribute to burning up to 80 calories a day due to the boost it gives your metabolism.
