10大饮品助你免得心脏病

It seems supermarket shelves are brimming over with a plethora of different beverages, and as a result making a heart-healthy choice can be particularly challenging! So, what really makes for the perfect healthy drink? By Melanie Thomassian

超市的架子上似乎摆满了令人眼花缭乱的各式饮品，因此要选出那些有利于心脏健康的变得相当有挑战性！于是到底什么才是完美的健康饮品呢？作者梅勒妮.托马西安

1.water

Water is the ideal beverage, with zero calories, and 100% hydration! Aim to have 6-8 cups each day. If plain water isn’t your thing, why not liven it up a little with a few slices of lemon, lime, or cucumber? Or, if you go for flavored water, be sure to check the nutritional label, as they can be very high in sugar, or artificial sweeteners.

1.水

水是理想的饮品，它不含卡路里而且100%补水。最好做到每天喝6~8杯水。如果你不喜欢喝纯水，为何不加几片柠檬、青柠或黄瓜来提味呢？如果你选择调味后的水，一定要检查一下营养标签，因为它们可能富含糖或人造甜味剂。

2.milk

Low-fat milk or soymilk are also healthy beverage alternatives, and considering most of us don’t get enough calcium, a glass of milk each day can be particularly useful. If you opt for soymilk, look out for the calcium enriched version.  Sterol-fortified milks are available, which can be useful if you’re trying to lower cholesterol levels.

2.牛奶

低脂牛奶或者豆奶也是健康饮品的候选项，再考虑到我们中的大多数人没有摄取到足够的钙，每天一杯牛奶就显得尤为重要了。如果你选择豆奶，要选富含钙的种类。市面上有固醇强化型牛奶，能帮你降低胆固醇。

3.whole fruit juice

When choosing fruit juice, select those that are 100% whole, with no added sugar. A small glass (4 ounces) makes up one serving, which is the recommended daily amount. You can also purchase a sterol-fortified version, which will help to lower high cholesterol levels, and reduce inflammation – a process which plays and important role in the development of heart disease.

3.纯果汁

选择果汁时一定要选那些不加糖的100%纯果汁。一小杯（4盎司）构成一份，建议一天喝这么多。你也可以购买固醇强化型的种类，有助于降低高胆固醇水平，并减少炎症，而炎症对心脏病的发生有重要作用。

4.tea

Tea is suggested to reduce the risk of stroke, some cancers and heart disease. A review carried out in 2001 of 10 follow-up studies, found that the risk of heart attack was reduced by 11% when 3 cups of tea per day were consumed (237ml).

4.茶

如果想减少中风的危险、某些癌症和心脏病，那就喝茶吧。在2001年，一份根据10项追踪式研究得到的调查发现，如果每天喝3杯茶（237mL），发心脏病的可能性降低了11%。

5. sports drink

Sports drinks are lower in calories than fruit juice or soda. However, they don’t have the same nutritional goodness as fruit juice, or milk, and water is still the fluid of choice if your physical activity lasts less than 60 minutes.

5.运动饮料

运动饮料和果汁或碳酸饮料相比卡路里含量较低，但它们没有果汁或牛奶那么多的营养。如果你的运动量少于60分钟还是选择喝水吧。

6. coffee

Coffee has been credited as being “heart healthy,” but if it’s laden with cream and sugar, it will play havoc with your diet! Creamy coffee drinks can range anywhere from 300 to a whopping 500 calories, depending on your choice.  However, there are lower calorie options available, for example plain black coffees, skinny lattes, or for something completely different, herbal teas.

6.咖啡

普遍认为咖啡有利心脏健康，但一杯加了大量奶油和糖的咖啡会严重扰乱你的饮食！根据你选择的种类，加了奶油的咖啡可含有从300高至500不等的卡路里。但也有低卡路里的咖啡可供选择，比如纯黑咖啡、低脂拿铁，或是干脆换成完全不同的草本茶。

7. alcohol

Alcohol is often an underestimated calorie source. The Consumer Federation of American have produced a handy Alcohol Facts chart, which provides details of the calorie content of alcoholic drinks on the market.

You should also take into consideration what mixer you use, as they can almost double the calorie content of your drink.

7.酒

通常人们低估了酒水的卡路里含量。美国消费者联合会（the Consumer Federation of American）制了一份非常方便使用的“关于酒水的事实”图表，里面详细提供了市面上的酒精饮料的卡路里含量。

你也应考虑到调酒时用的饮料，因为它们可以让你的饮料的卡路里含量几乎翻上一倍。

8. soft drink

Researchers actually think that soda drinkers are more likely to have a lower intake of important nutrients, such as vitamin C, vitamin A, folate, magnesium, and calcium. It’s best to steer clear of soft drinks as much as possible – with 10 teaspoons of sugar per can; it’s pretty clear how unhealthy they are.

8.软饮料

研究人员认为那些常喝碳酸饮料的人更可能摄取较少的重要营养物质，比如维生素C、维生素A、叶酸、镁和钙。鉴于每罐含有10勺的糖，最好尽可能地避免喝软饮料，显而易见它们是多么不健康。

9. diet soda

If you’re trying to lose weight obviously diet drinks are a good choice, however I’d recommend consuming in moderation (once each week), as artificial sweeteners are best avoided, if at all possible.

9.无糖汽水

如果你在努力减肥，显然无糖饮料是个好选择。但考虑到最好尽可能避免人造甜味剂，我建议你要适量饮用（一周一次）。

10. energy drink

Many energy drinks are loaded with caffeine, sugar and herbal stimulants that make you alert, however they can also make your heart beat faster, which can put you at risk of health issues.

The worrying problem with energy drinks is that they’ve become popular mixers for alcoholic beverages; this combination of caffeine and alcohol can be very dangerous.

10.功能饮料

许多功能饮料含大量的咖啡因、糖和草本刺激物，它们可以让你保持清醒，但也会使你的心脏跳得更快，而这可能会有害你的健康。

让人担心的是功能饮料正成为酒精饮料的常用调酒剂，咖啡因和酒精的混合会变得非常危险。
