Mint tea

This drink normalizes and facilitates digestion. In addition, mint has an antispasmodic effect - it relieves pain in the muscles.

It prevents the development of cardiovascular diseases by reducing the level of "bad" cholesterol in the blood. However, it is impossible to completely replace cow's milk with soy, as this will cause a lack of calcium and vitamins A and D.

Hot chocolate or cocoa

These drinks stimulate the production of the hormone serotonin in the body, which helps to improve mood. Also, hot chocolate and cocoa prevent the development of cardiovascular diseases. And polyphenols, which are part of their composition, protect cells from the action of free radicals.

Tomato juice (without salt)

Orange juice

The abundance of vitamin C increases immunity, which protects against many diseases, including cataracts and cancer. Doctors advise drinking orange juice during pregnancy, since the folic acid contained in it, prevents the development of the fetus.
