Many think fruit juice is a healthy option, but most commercial juices are stripped of fiber and loaded with natural sugars that spike blood sugar levels.
Even 100% fruit juices, like orange juice, lack the full nutritional profile of whole fruits.
If you enjoy juice, it’s better to eat the fruit whole or, if juicing, try to include the skin and pulp to retain more fiber and reduce sugar absorption.
4. Highly Caffeinated Beverages
Energy drinks and other high-caffeine options can raise blood pressure, disrupt heart rhythms, and interfere with restful sleep.
Over time, this can lead to chronic health problems like elevated cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, or diabetes.
Many of these drinks also contain added sugars, amplifying their negative health effects. If you’re drinking multiple energy drinks or cups of coffee a day, consider scaling back.
Try switching to decaf coffee or caffeine-free herbal teas like chamomile, hibiscus, or rosemary, which offer calming and circulatory benefits without the jittery side effects.
5. Artificially Sweetened Drinks
