The Right Brew For A Healthier You
That round flask you lug to work just might save your life – if it contains the right liquid. There are drinks that give you beer bellies, and then there are drinks that help you live longer.
Tomato Juice: A glass a day will keep breast, prostate, colon, and lung cancers away. A good source of lycopenes, tomato juice will help reduce your cholesterol level and improve your immune system.
Blueberry Juice: Many a tipple makes a mickle – when it comes to blueberry juice. Believed to protect against cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s, blueberry juice also helps thwart memory loss. At the same time, it can stimulate the growth of new brain cells, thereby preventing memory loss. Additionally, its anthocyanins oxygenate the skin, thus reducing lines and wrinkles.
Pomegranate Juice: Give prostate cancer a thump with a glassful of pomegranate juice. Studies show that the juice minimizes cell damage caused by prostate cancer, and even retards the return of the disease after surgery by as much as four years!
Cranberry Juice: Scientists believe a glass or two of cranberry juice could actually be more effective than antibiotics in warding off urinary tract infections and the deadly E.coli bacteria. Compounds in the juice change the shape of the bacteria, making it harmless to humans.
Coffee: Abundant in antioxidants, coffee can protect you from kidney stones and heart diseases. Of course, you don’t really need this trivia to down three to four cups a day; but hey, it doesn’t hurt either.
Red Wine: Not only does wine save your figure (after all, whoever heard of a wine belly?), it can also help reduce the threat of lung cancer and heart diseases. The tannins in red wine help stop the production of endothelin-1, which is generally responsible for fat-clogged arteries. Additionally, the skin of red grapes contain resveratrol, which is believed to help suppress lung tumors.
Water: Believe it or not, guzzling eight glasses a day of water prevents headaches, arthritis, constipation, and skin diseases. It keeps the joints and digestive system well-oiled and the skin well-hydrated.
Quite remarkably, you can drink any of the above just about anywhere, and all you need is a flask. For this reason, flasks make cool gifts for men or unique groomsmen gifts. When you give a flask, you’re not just giving a present; you’re giving the gift of health.
