Headlines for a healthier you | | Claire Bugos, News Reporter | | | Healthy Mocktails For a Sober October | | As a summer of socializing comes to an end and with holiday festivities on the horizon, some people are opting for a break from booze this month. Sober October offers an opportunity to reevaluate your relationship with alcohol or take a break from drinking altogether. But skipping the booze doesn't mean your drinks need to skimp on flavor or complexity. To help you get started, we crafted some mocktails that are as healthy as they are delicious. These recipes are also versatile: When hosting a gathering, it's easy to add a shot of your favorite liquor to make a cocktail for some guests and leave it out for those who want to enjoy it booze-free. | | | To convert the old-fashioned into a mocktail, tea works remarkably well as a substitute for bourbon. Not only does this eliminate the negative health effects of consuming alcohol, but black tea contains compounds that can boost health by neutralizing inflammation and oxidative stress. | | | | | Chilled, it's a smooth and refreshing drink. Warmed, it's a cozy drink for a chilly day. This turmeric-forward drink is loaded with ingredients that work together to help reduce inflammation and promote health. It's at once tangy and creamy—the perfect drink to ease you into fall. | | | | | Shrub, also called drinking vinegar, is a sweet and tangy fruit and vinegar syrup that is often infused with spices or herbs. It makes for a delightful drink base. The addition of apple cider vinegar can help control blood pressure and support weight loss. When topped with something sparkling, shrub tastes similar to kombucha. | | | | | | In Other News | | | | |
