The post Benefits of Drinking Electrolytes Regularly appeared first on foodisinthehouse.com.
]]>Hydration
First and foremost, electrolytes help maintain the body’s water balance. This happens because electrolytes help facilitate the absorption and retention of water. If you’re living in a hot area, you might benefit from drinking a cup a day to help your body cope with extreme weather.
Reduced Risk of Heat-Related Illnesses
When exposed to high temperatures, the body loses electrolytes through sweat. Replenishing these lost electrolytes can help prevent heat-related illnesses, such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke.
Muscle Function
Electrolytes are a huge help in restoring your muscles after any physical activity – from workouts to yard work. Maintaining the right balance of sodium, potassium, and calcium is crucial for muscle contractions and relaxation. It can also help reduce the chances of muscle cramps.
Recovery From Illness
Drinking electrolytes during illnesses that lead to dehydration, such as stomach flu or food poisoning, can help your body recover faster by replacing lost fluids and minerals. Just choose a gentle formula that won’t irritate your gut during the healing process.

This alternative soda brand is low in sugar with only 2-5 grams per can, depending on the flavor. Compare that to about 11 grams in a regular soda, and you’re already off to a great start! Their sodas also contain over 30% of the daily recommended value of fiber, which can help keep you full and your blood sugar stable. They have classic flavors like Cola and Root Beer, but our favorite is the Strawberry Vanilla!

]]>Added Sugars
Many orange juices that you buy at the supermarket have a ton of added sugars in them. Drinking common orange juice brands such as Tropicana isn’t exactly the same thing as eating an orange on its own. So if you’re trying to cut low on sugar, you might want to find a different drink. At the very least, be aware of what is in your juice.
Freshly Squeezed
Orange juice, however, can actually be healthy if it’s freshly squeezed because it won’t have those pesky added sugars. Either buy it from a source that you know and trust or better yet, get a juicer and squeeze the oranges yourself! If you do that, you can bet that you’re getting the natural stuff.

]]>Pomegranate Juice
Filled to the brim with antioxidants, researchers have deemed that pomegranate juice can prevent cancer, inflammation, and heart disease. However, if you buy it at the store, make sure that it hasn’t been loaded up with extra sugars, and that it’s purely natural.
Green Tea
When you’re aching for a dose of caffeine down the stretch of your busy workday, a cup of green tea is healthier than coffee. Not only does it also provide you with antioxidants, but it tastes great too!
Low Fat Milk
We all grew up on milk, but when we got older, society told us that it was a “kid’s drink”. But given that it’s filled with protein and calcium, it’s a great source for our health no matter how old we are. A nice glass of low-fat milk will provide you with some much-needed vitamin D without the extra saturated fat, and we promise you that we won’t judge you for drinking it.

]]>Fruit-Infused Water
Pour some fresh water into a pitcher and add your favorite fruits, vegetables, and herbs. You can make many different combinations and these are a few that we love the most:
- Grapefruit, lime, and thyme
- Basil, apple, and ginger
- Strawberries, blueberries, and mint
- Lemon and lavender
- Cucumber, lemon, and thyme
The ingredients you add to the water will not only enhance its taste, but also provide you with some health benefits, depending on what you use. Drinking more water throughout the day is good for your overall health and if you make it like this, it won’t feel like a boring chore.
Homemade Iced Tea
Start off by brewing green tea, add some honey and mint to it, and then let it cool down. Serve in nice glasses over ice and enjoy your homemade version of iced tea that’s not full of industrial ingredients like the store-bought versions. You can easily change its flavor by mixing in your favorite herbal or fruit tea.

]]>The post 3 Things You Should Know About Juicing appeared first on foodisinthehouse.com.
]]>It’s Not Better Than Eating Veggies
Juicing is a great trick to add more vitamins and nutrients for people who otherwise don’t prefer eating fruits and veggies. However, eating whole fresh produce is equally healthy, if not even better, because juicing can eliminate some of the nutrients in veggies.
Juicing Eliminates Fiber
The reason why juicing is often considered less healthy than eating whole fruits and veggies is because this process can remove up to 90% of the fiber found in fresh produce. Fiber is an extremely important substance with many health benefits that we mostly get from eating fruits, veggies, and grains.
Juice is Not a Meal Replacement
Homemade juices are super healthy and nutritious, as long as you don’t pack them with sugar or any other unhealthy ingredient. They are very convenient and great for boosting your immune system because they contain more vitamins. However, juices should never be consumed as a meal replacement because they simply don’t contain enough protein, carbs, and other nutrients we need for a balanced diet.

]]>The post Why You Should Drink More Mineral Water appeared first on foodisinthehouse.com.
]]>Mineral water comes from mineral springs and it’s a product of nature. It often contains salt, sulfur, and other minerals. In order for water to be mineral, it should contain at least 250 parts per million of “total dissolved solids” and be sourced from a protected underground spring.
Various types of mineral water come with unique sets of minerals, which is why they are good for your general health and can even help prevent and fight certain conditions.
The best way to use it is to drink it plain. However, you can use it for cooking, for making tea and coffee, and in any other way you want. When it comes to taste, the differences are usually very subtle but some people prefer certain brands of mineral water over others.
Mineral water can be still or carbonated. The difference is in the sensation when you drink it and they are equally good options.
