Top warming drinks of winter: expert names the best options for the cold season

As reported by TUT.AZ, endocrinologist Margarita Belousova in an interview with "Lenta.ru" revealed a list of the most effective drinks for warming up during the winter period.

According to the specialist, black and green tea, as well as coffee, hold leading positions due to their caffeine content, which activates heat production in the body. "Adults are recommended to limit consumption to 400 micrograms of caffeine per day, which corresponds to approximately four cups of coffee or tea," the endocrinologist emphasized. Belousova particularly noted that people with cardiovascular diseases and sleep disorders should reduce the amount of caffeine consumed and avoid strong drinks.

The endocrinologist also highlighted the warming potential of sweet drinks. Cocoa and non-alcoholic mulled wine, rich in flavanols and spices, excel at raising body temperature during cold weather. However, the doctor advises against daily consumption of such drinks due to their high sugar content.

According to the specialist, compotes and other drinks with added ginger can serve as excellent alternatives for warming up. "Gingerol and shogaol contained in ginger provide a pronounced warming effect," explained Belousova. At the same time, the doctor warned that drinks with ginger are contraindicated for people with stomach ulcers, gastritis, tendency to bleeding, as well as pregnant and nursing women without prior consultation with a doctor.

In conclusion, the endocrinologist cautioned against consuming extremely hot drinks. According to her, scalding liquid can potentially cause the development of esophageal tumors. The optimal temperature of a drink for safe consumption should be below 60 degrees Celsius.
