Staying well hydrated can make a difference in how you feel and perform during the day. Replacing high calorie soft drinks and fruit drinks with something your body needs, like water, milk, or 100% juice will help you maintain a healthy weight and quench your thirst at the same time. Cut calories with these strategies and increase your daily intake of healthier beverages, especially water.
  • Cold water tastes great–keep water bottles ready to go in the refrigerator.
  • Keep a bottle of water on your desk.
  • Turn on the tap! Tap water is cheaper, environmentally friendly, and better for you than bottled water.
  • Enjoy a glass of milk or soy beverage at your next meal.
  • Start your day with a small glass of 100% juice.
  • Try sparkling water or club soda for a bubbly low calorie beverage.
  • Add a slice of lemon, lime, or orange to flavour water.
