ONE BUBBLE TEA A DAY - HARMLESS TREAT OR HIDDEN HEALTH RISK?

🤔 Have you ever wondered, "How does my favorite cup of bubble tea impact my health?" 

 This beverage has long been a favorite among young people during study sessions, work breaks, or social gatherings. However, behind its appealing sweetness and creaminess are hidden risks that not everyone pays attention to. 

 👉 Join MSc. Dr. Nguyen Phuong Anh - Nutrition Specialist at CarePlus International Clinics, as we explore bubble tea from a nutritional perspective in the article below! 

1️⃣ One cup of bubble tea = 300-350 kcal  

Did you know that a medium-sized bubble tea (approximately 500ml, excluding toppings like boba, jelly, or pudding) contains an average of 350-400 kcal? 

 🏃 To burn off this amount of energy, you would need to jog continuously for about 1-2 hours. If you do not engage in physical activity to expend this surplus energy, consuming an extra 350 kcal daily could lead to an average weight gain of 350g per week! 

  

2️⃣ Sugar in bubble tea far exceeds recommended levels 

 🌟 On average, a medium-sized bubble tea contains 40g of simple sugar (depending on the sweetness level set by different brands). Meanwhile, health recommendations suggest that an adult should not consume more than 25g of simple sugar per day. 

 🥘 In reality, sugar is not only found in bubble tea but also in our daily diet. Sugar is commonly used as a seasoning in many dishes, especially sour foods and dipping sauces. 

 Regularly consuming excessive sugar increases the risk of: 

🔹 Dyslipidemia (elevated triglycerides) 

🔹 Obesity and chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular conditions 
 

3️⃣ Solutions for bubble tea lovers 

If you are a devoted bubble tea fan and find it hard to quit, try these tips: 

🔸 Gradually reduce cup size: Switch from large to medium, and then to small. 

🔸 Develop the habit of limiting bubble tea consumption: Instead of drinking it daily, try reducing it to a weekly or monthly treat, and ideally, phase it out completely. 

🔸 Opt for healthier beverages such as unsweetened fruit juices or green tea, which benefit both your health and beauty from the inside out. 

🔔 Bubble tea is not something that must be strictly avoided by healthy individuals, but the way we consume it is the key factor. While a cup of bubble tea can bring temporary joy, making it a daily habit may lead to long-term health consequences such as weight gain, metabolic disorders, or even chronic diseases. 

✅ Love yourself by making small changes: reduce bubble tea consumption, choose healthier drinks, and maintain a well-balanced diet. Your health is your most valuable asset, and only when you are healthy can you truly enjoy life to the fullest.
