However, a fun gaming experience doesn\u2019t negate the need for eating and hydration. Many gamers will pick up a snack or sip on their favorite beverage while gaming. Keeping your body sustained as you game is vital and gamers often forgo healthy food and consume whatever is within reach. This can be especially problematic when it comes to gaming drinks. With many gamers filling their bodies with alcohol and pop, it\u2019s no wonder avid players often get an unfair reputation regarding their physical health and well-being. While being a gamer doesn\u2019t make you unhealthy, long periods of sitting combined with drinks containing empty calories can impact your health negatively.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, it doesn\u2019t have to be this way. We\u2019ve compiled a list of the best alternatives to unhealthy drinks to keep on hand the next time you sit down to game. Let\u2019s look at some healthier\u2013and tastier\u2013alternatives to typical gaming drinks.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Flavored Water<\/h2>\n<p>Hydration is critical when gaming. Drinking plenty of water throughout your gaming session is vital to keep your body functioning correctly. However, some people turn away from plain old water and toward unhealthy drinks that are typically tastier. If you scoff at drinking water while playing games, you can still get some essential hydration by turning to naturally flavored water.<\/p>\n<p>Flavored water is undoubtedly one of the best gaming drinks available\u2013and you can make your own. While many store-bought flavored water brands add artificial sweeteners and flavors, making your own flavored water is as simple as slicing up your favorite fruits or veggies and putting them in your glass. From lemons to cucumbers and delicious watermelon, there\u2019s no going wrong with a refreshing glass of water packed with an extra punch.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Kombucha<\/h2>\n<p>For many reasons, kombucha is a real contender for a healthier gaming drink. If you\u2019re struggling to forgo pop while playing games, check out fermented tea with carbonation, like what you\u2019d find in your favorite soda. Drinking kombucha over a pop can help lower your sugar intake, along with additional health benefits for the gut. Research has found fermented drinks and food are linked to health benefits because they provide probiotics and feed your gut microbiome.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Coconut Water<\/h2>\n<p>For gamers who love a nice coconut flavor, coconut water is a great gaming drink option. Not only is coconut water an excellent source of hydration, but it\u2019s also packed with vitamins and minerals to ensure you get the best from your drinking habits. Along with electrolytes like magnesium and potassium, coconut water becomes one of the best rehydrating beverages and a perfect solution for gamers to stay hydrated with a tasty drink.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Green Tea<\/h2>\n<p>Whether you prefer hot or cold tea, you can\u2019t go wrong with a healthy dose of green tea when gaming. Green tea is not only delicious: it\u2019s one of the healthiest drinks you\u2019ll find, making it ideal for people who spend long periods gaming but want to stay healthy. Green tea promotes health benefits, such as supports metabolism and heart health and a healthy dose of antioxidants.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Coffee, But Only When You Need Caffeine<\/h2>\n<p>Coffee without loads of added sugar and cream can be a good alternatives to caffeinated soda, just don\u2019t go overboard on how many cups a day you drink. Studies have shown coffee, in moderation, can provide a good sources of antioxidants and support some health outcomes. When you drink coffee in a healthy amount, coffee can help you focus on your game and keep you alert and focused.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Smoothies<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s nearly impossible to find a person who doesn\u2019t like <a href=\"https:\/\/development.gnc.com\/learn\/recipes\/\">smoothies<\/a> in any capacity. Considering the endless combination of fruits and vegetables you can incorporate into your smoothie, it\u2019s easy to see why. Smoothies are a fantastic way to boost energy while providing your body with essential nutrients. Smoothies aren\u2019t limited to fruits and vegetables. You can also add in other healthy ingredients, from nonfat milk or yogurt to flax or chia seeds, and even<a href=\"https:\/\/development.gnc.com\/search?q=protein+powders&amp;lang=default\"> protein powders<\/a>.<br \/>\nWhen you make a smoothie from the comfort of your home, you can play around with different ingredients to find the right combination to suit your tastebuds and keep your body fueled.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Vegetable Juice<\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t rule this one out based on its name\u2013vegetable juice can be a great gaming drink and doesn\u2019t always have to taste like liquid spinach. By chopping up some invigorating veggies and throwing them in a juicer, you can unlock the many benefits of veggies. If you prefer your drinks on the sweeter side, add some slices of your favorite fruit for some natural sweetness. Be aware of prepackaged veggie juices as some have sources of added sugars. Your mind and body will thank you when you have a nice glass of vegetable juice while playing your favorite games.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Sparkling Water<\/h2>\n<p>We get it\u2013sometimes plain water doesn\u2019t hit the spot like pop does. One reason you might not be getting the same satisfaction from water as your favorite soda is the refreshing, fizzy carbonation you\u2019ve become so used to. The transition from soda to water might be more straightforward if you start with tasty sparkling water. With sparkling water or plain seltzer, you get the hydration benefits of regular water while still getting the fizz you crave from soda. Sparkling water typically does not contain added sugars, reducing your total intake of added sugars. The fizz and low to no added sugars are a win-win. Sparkling water earns its spot on our list of gaming drinks because of the refreshing properties, making it perfect way to stay hydrated as you take on your fiercest competitors.<\/p>\n<h2>9.
