Drink Healthy Sweet Drinks

Most of us at some time or another are trying to lose weight. Even those who aren't try and stay as healthy as we can.

The majority of health conscious shoppers have always checked the fat content on labels, and are finally starting to check the sugar content as well. It is gradually becoming known that the amount of sugar and other sweeteners in food is as important as the fat it contains. These hidden calories add to our weight problems.

The first thing we do when trying to lose weight is change our eating habits, nutritionists think that changing what we drink is of equal importance.

The news coming from the health experts is far from good. Our bodies are being overloaded with the unnecessary sugars hidden in these drinks and our health service is having to deal with a huge rise in sugar related health issues. The drinks market is incredibly misleading, that healthy looking carton of juice could be anything but. Don't be fooled by the various ingredients such as sucralose, corn syrup and sucrose, these are all sweeteners and sugars that make this drink one to avoid.

So nothing with these misleading ingredients ever finds its way into my shopping cart. If I want juice I am happy to pay a bit extra to get 100% pure fruit juice. I do also enjoy carbonated drinks too.

Sparkling fruit drinks can also be misleading so always check the ingredients. Three of the best that I've found are made by Fizzy Lizzy, Izze and R.W. Knudsen.The latter also make delicious fruity spritzers.

The mixture of pure fruit juice and water that has been carbonated is all that's in these drinks, none of that stuff that we now know to avoid. The natural juice is also giving your body an extra boost of fruit.
