Which is better to drink health wise?

Question

Is it better to drink 100% apple juice that has 140 calories or a Diet Coke that has 0 Calories. Because latley ive been drinking alot of water and apple juice when i used to just drink Diet Cokes.

Answer 1

Drop the diet coke, and regular coke. One is no better than the other. Drink them only occasionally, and socially. Never drink them at home, they are addictive and keep you from drinking the stuff your body needs....water.

It is best to drink a full glass first thing in the morning and keep drinking all day. My secret is to save the individual pop or juice bottles from your former life and fill them with water and refrigerate. I like ice cold water better than room temp, so I drink more that way. A little lemon or lime added is a treat.

Also, doesn't anybody drink iced tea anymore. Tea is so good for you with antioxidents, and is tasty without any sugar. Again, a little lemon or lime makes it special. I make it in a gallon glass jar with 6 tea (green or black) bags and let it sit in the sun all day. It will give you the same kind of caffeine perk that coke gives you but it is good for you. You might get hooked.

Answer 2

Apple juice (and all other juices) are loaded with sugar. The sugar is why the juice has so many calories. If you must drink juice, I would recommend diluting it with 50% water. If you are looking for the nutrients of the juice, you will get much more by just eating an apple (or orange, kiwi, banana, etc.).

Diet Coke has no calories, but does contain artificial sweeteners (chemicals). These are probably only bad for you if you drink too much Diet Coke. Try to not drink more than one Diet Coke/day at the very most.

When it comes to assessing the nutrition of a beverage, you should take into consideration these factors:
1. Calories (sugars)
2. Carbs (also sugars)
3. Chemicals (caffeine or splenda)

Hope this is helpful!

Answer 3

The only safe drink is pure water. Natural apple juice helps in restoring the calories lost bu7t a diet coke is a synthetic drink helping you in any way!!!

Answer 4

Probably the apple juice. The Diet Coke may have fewer calories, but there is little to no nutritional value. Water is probably your best bet.

Answer 5

If you limit yourself to 1 or 2 apple juice 8 oz serving per day and include 8 - 8 oz servings of water you will be MUCH better off healthwise than the Diet Cokes.

Answer 6

No soda is good for you ,stay away from it! If plain water is not to your liking then mix half 100% juice with half water. It's the sugar in the juice that gives you 140 calories. You cut your calories in half and the juice isn't so sweet but still taste good.

Answer 7

The latest consumer reports ranked juice just below soda followed by diet soda. Water is best. I think all the empty calories is the problem with juice. If you are trying to lose weight or at least not gain weight, water is best. Coffee wasn't that bad either.

Answer 8

Water of course is best.
For a change of test Apple juice is better. It also gives you some nutrition and vitamins.
Diet coke gives you nothing but a temporary feeling and most of your hard earned money goes to some celebrities Bank account and also will give you few deceases as bonus.

Answer 9

Drink the water and the juice for your health. Cola has no use other than maybe taste. Cola has Nothing good for the body at all. Juice has many vitamins. Apple juice has iron too.

Answer 10

Apple juice and water are healthier than soda, because they can keep you from getting dehydrated. If you don't want the extra calories, then just have water or low-calorie juices.
