Health and Wellness - Day #2 (What to Drink?)

We all know that water is a vital part of healthy living, yet many of us have a hard time consuming the daily recommended “eight 8oz glasses.” The fact of the matter is water is in all fluids that we take in. Just be mindful that a number of juices on the market are made of food coloring, sugar and water, they have no nutritional value. Some healthy alternatives to water include unsweetened iced tea, fruit juice (not fruit drinks) and milk.

 If you find plain water to be a drag, try adding some fresh fruit. My favorite is lemon, as it also provides alkaline for your body, which is important. You can also use fresh cucumber, kiwi or orange slices. While I consume a fair amount of water in the days, I do enjoy something sweet as well. Personally, I have started to use juice as a treat. If I drink a certain amount of water in the day, then I can treat myself to a glass of juice in the evening.


It all starts with one step, take your step today.
