According to its composition, it can be roughly divided into the following categories.
Generally speaking, beverages can be roughly divided into the following categories according to their ingredients:
Thirst-quenching drinks: These drinks are mainly used to replenish water and quench thirst. Most of them are made of water such as sugar, essence and pigment, or natural fruity essence (a fruity beverage) is added, and the concentration is below 2.5%. Some are filled with carbon dioxide to make soda, such as lemonade, sprite and Coca-Cola.
Nutritional drinks: These drinks contain a certain amount of protein, inorganic salts, vitamins and other nutrients, mainly including the following three:
1. Add natural juice with a concentration of more than 25%, such as coconut juice, fruit orange, orange juice, etc.
2. Take milk or soybean milk as raw materials, such as strawberry milk and cocoa milk.
3. Yogurt beverage made by adding a certain amount of essence and pigment into yogurt fermented by lactic acid bacteria.
Special functional drinks: A certain amount of special ingredients, such as trace elements or Chinese herbal medicines, are added to these drinks.
Other drinks: such as mineral water, homemade orange juice, tomato juice, strawberry juice, hawthorn juice, sour plum soup, etc. And coffee, beer, champagne, soda and so on.
Patients with hepatitis and liver cirrhosis can drink some drinks as needed, such as yogurt drinks, fruit juices and vegetable juices (such as tomato juice). ) and mineral water. This drink contains no artificial additives (including preservatives) or aluminum.
In addition, we should also pay attention to the following issues:
1, it is not advisable to drink too much, because some drinks contain theobromine and caffeine, and drinking too much is bad for your health. Drinking too much will also affect the appetite, because the drink contains sugar and protein, which will not make people feel hungry after drinking, and drinking too much will also affect the digestion and absorption of food.
Patients with acute hepatitis or active chronic hepatitis, or active cirrhosis with gastric and duodenal mucosal injury, should not drink alcoholic beverages, beverages containing coffee and theobromine, sour plum soup, etc. Because caffeine and alcohol can promote gastric acid secretion, destroy the gastric mucosal barrier and affect the repair and healing of inflammation or ulcer. People with ascites due to liver cirrhosis should not drink soda and gas-producing drinks to avoid aggravating abdominal distension. People with weak spleen and stomach should not drink iced drinks, because the temperature in the stomach is close to 50. Eating iced drinks into the stomach can make the stomach blood vessels contract and reduce the secretion of digestive juice.
2. Don't drink inferior drinks, including "three refined water" and "orange-flavored water", because these drinks mixed with pigment, essence and saccharin are very unhealthy; Don't drink orange water made of unqualified river water and well water; Don't drink inferior homemade drinks in old bottles and jars. These drinks will be harmful to the patient's health after drinking, and even aggravate the condition. Therefore, you should "smell" when buying drinks: look at the label, color, impurities, turbidity, factory date and address, and "smell" means whether there is any peculiar smell after opening the bottle.
