Study reveals top 10 healthiest drinks

Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Nutrition & Supplements

If water isn't enough to quench your thirst, you're in luck. A new UCLA study reveals the top 10 healthiest drinks, and AOL News features the nitty gritty on the whole lot right here. And guess what? Nine of them are fruit based. Here they are.

  • Apple Juice
  • Tea
  • Orange Juice
  • Cranberry Juice
  • Acai Juice
  • Black Cherry Juice
  • Blueberry Juice
  • Concord Grape Juice
  • Red Wine
  • Pomegranate Juice

What makes these drinks so healthy? Antioxidants, mostly. The more vivid the color, the more antioxidants there are. No wonder so many berry drinks made the cut.

Don't let this list fool you -- just because the top 10 are reportedly healthy doesn't mean you ought to start guzzling them down. Juices tend to contain a good amount of calories, and sugar, and sometimes they interact with medications. Truth be told: If you can eat the fruit and not drink the juice, you're better off. You'll get a whole lot more fiber this way too. Not a big fruit lover? Then mix the juice with club soda and you'll save half the calories.
