Most of us start our day with milk and milk based beverages. We mostly consume it by mixing readymade commercial products such as Boost, Horlicks, Bournvita, Milo, Pediasure, Ensure, Complan and so on.
Are we aware of the ingredients used in these commercial drinks? What kind of energy drink are we feeding to our kids? Are these readymade healthdrinks boosting your immune system? Lets find out..
What is the problem with commercial health drinks?
Have you ever had a closer look at the ingredients mentioned in these commercial drinks? We blindly believe the advertisement that says “Your kid will grow taller, stronger and sharper”, “Live non-stop by regaining your energy” – for elders.
Glucose Syrup, Sugar, Vegetable oils, Gum Acacia, Gluten, Emulsifiers, Acidity regulators, Canola oil, Cellulose gel and gum, Carrageenan, Artificial flavours and so on..
These are some of the ingredients that are listed in the most popular commercial health drink. We don’t even understand the names of, most of the ingredients that are printed, yet we believe the advertisement and give it to our kids thinking we are giving them a wholesome drink. But we are unknowingly ruining their health with these commercial products.
The energy drinks you commonly see are marketed as the ultimate nutrition for you but what people do not know is that they contain many harmful ingredients as well, which you shouldn’t be consuming on a regular basis. Commercial energy drinks contain a high amount of sugar. They contain high amount of chemically processed sugar which is not good for you or your children. This one ingredient alone makes them a bad nutrition choice. That being the case , there is no necessity to elaborate the ill effects of other ingredients which are even hard to spell out or understand.
What is our traditional practise of energy drinks?
The well known health drink that our ancestors used was the homemade porridge mix with a blend of right amount of natural carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. This porridge provided the whole family with the right amount of nutrition required to begin the day fresh and energetic.
Other than health mix porridge, our ancestors also used to drink sukku malli kappy (Dry ginger and coriander seeds coffee) , drinks made of fresh herbs and fermented rice water (Vadi Kanji / Pazhayadu / Neeraagaram) .
These drinks boosted our immune system naturally providing the much needed gut friendly probiotics and good bacteria and also gave the necessary nutrients that made our bones and muscles stronger.
Why did we move to instant and ready made energy drinks?
Time constraint and laziness! Yes… living in an all time busy world we want things to be done quickly and instantly and we fall for all the gimmicks of flashy advertisements and as a result we miss to think about the long term consequences.
Despite how they are marketed, these processed commercial drinks won’t help you build a stronger immune system or help build better health. They should not be considered in a good diet.
But its high time now we realise that we are not only doing a big blunder to our own self but also to our next generation. Lets wake up to the freshly made drinks with good ingredients.
