Nowadays people drink many types of drinks to stay healthy, but not every drink is beneficial for the body. A doctor rated popular drinks and told which drinks reduce inflammation and which can increase it. Surprisingly, black coffee and packed coconut water got low scores in this list.
Nowadays people have become more conscious about health than before. Along with diet, exercise and lifestyle, what we drink daily also matters. There are many drinks which people drink considering them healthy, but in reality they can increase swelling in the body. Recently, Dr. Ethan Kellam, an orthopedic surgeon, rated some popular drinks on the basis of their health effects and told which drinks are better for the body and which can cause harm.
Inflammation is a natural process of the body, which helps the body heal during injury or infection. But if it continues for a long time then it can become the cause of many serious diseases. Therefore, it is important to know how the drinks consumed daily affect the body.
Green tea got the highest score
According to the doctor, if we talk about reducing inflammation, green tea was considered the best drink. It was given 10 marks out of 10. Green tea is rich in antioxidants, especially a compound called catechin, which helps in reducing inflammation in the body. Apart from this, it also has very less calories and sugar, hence it is considered safe to drink it daily.
