Health Benefits of Brown Sugar Hot Drinks
Six points to make
The minerals (calcium, iron, magnesium, etc.) in brown sugar dissolve easily in warm liquids and are easily absorbed by the body.
The flavor of the oligosaccharide and molasses portion gives the body a pleasant and satisfying feeling.
The addition of warming ingredients such as ginger can be expected to promote blood circulation and perspiration, contributing to the improvement of coldness.
When combined with materials containing protein and fat, such as milk and soy milk, heat staying power becomes stronger.
If the sweetness is adjusted to a low level, a spike in blood sugar levels can be avoided, making it easy to drink at night before bed.
The quality of brown sugar used (non-refined or pure brown sugar) makes a difference in aroma, flavor, and nutritional value.
