]]> Achieving the best results when working out also depends on the food that you eat and the drinks that you have. This guide will help you figure out what kind of drink to have before a workout. It’s always a smart idea to have a bottle of water with you as well.

Water

Water is the best drink to have at any time. While you’re physically active you sweat and lose fluids. This means that you really need to be hydrated and what better way to do that if not water.

Green Tea

Green tea is extremely rich in antioxidants and it can boost your metabolism to work faster. You will burn more calories if you have a cup half an hour before hitting the gym. This is a drink you can find in any supermarket, just make sure you don’t overdo it.

Whey Protein

A whey protein shake is a great idea before or even after a workout. It delivers the protein your muscles need and it will help you build strong muscles faster. You can choose the type that you like.

Beetroot Juice

Beetroot juice delivers more energy and can help you with endurance during a workout.

]]> Ah yes, the clinking of ice against the glass, the floating berries, and slices of lemon swimming in your drink. For anyone who’s had cocktails before, these are familiar observations you might have noticed. Who doesn’t enjoy a cocktail every-so-often?

But, what happens when you give up alcohol and go through a phase of sobriety. Here are some beneficial effects of cutting alcohol from your diet.

Better and Glowing Skin

Alcohol is a known diuretic, which entails making multiple trips to the bathroom. It also causes you to go to the bathroom more frequently than if you drank water. The results? Dry skin that appears lackluster. This is where the saying “drink moderately” comes into play. When you take a break from drinking, so does your skin, allowing it to repair itself naturally.

More Intentional Eating

Remember those drunken nights where after hanging out with friends, you’d all sit down and order a greasy pizza or a bag of fish and chips to cap off the night? Well, that won’t happen as much if you decide to take a drinking break. According to a study in the journal Obesity, the drunk munchies may be due to alcohol heightening the senses.

Better Quality of Sleep

The sugar in alcoholic drinks can be hard to shrug off in the wee hours of the evening. It can also keep our thoughts racing and blood pumping. After taking a sobriety break, you’ll notice your immune system strengthening and quality of sleep getting better as each night passes.

The good news is that we have a recipe for a delicious yet low-calorie iced tea. The only sweetener is honey and you can even make it without it and it will basically have zero calories.

Hibiscus and iced tea are synonymous in summer. Teas with hibiscus are often called fruit tisanes. They don't contain the tea itself, that is the camellia sinensis plant, the source of black, green and white tea. Instead, tisanes contain a variation of fruit or berry medley, with hibiscus as a base. They are naturally caffeine free. Maui Rainbow Tea has several tisanes, such as Hibiscus & Fruit, Strawberry Kiwi and Wild Berry Hibiscus (link in bio) . . . . . 📷 @begirltravelfood #tealover #teaaddict #cupoftea #teatime #instatea #tealife #tealovers #teagram #herbaltea #teaoftheday #teacup #teastagram #teaholic #tealove #hawaiifoodie #flatlay #greentea #blacktea #teabreak #ilovetea #tea #teadrinkersofinstagram #teadrinkers #loosetea #looseleaftea #hibiscustea #hibiscus #icedtea #hibiscusicedtea #fruittisane
