Water makes up over two-thirds of the human body so it’s important that you consume enough fluid to stay hydrated. Here are some healthy choices and ones to watch…
THE BEST:
Water delivers fluid without adding calories or damaging teeth. If you don’t like plain water, try sparkling water or add a slice of lemon or lime.
GOOD:
Milk is a source of water but it also contains saturated fat so choose semi-skimmed or skimmed.
20% of our total water intake is from food. Some foods have a high water content, especially fruits and vegetables, which are usually more than 80% water (e.g. watermelon, strawberries, tomatoes, etc).
WATCH OUT:
Soft drinks, tea & coffee, fruit juices/smoothies, energy/sports drinks, and alcohol.
All of these contain water but can be high in sugar, high in caffeine, calorific or a diuretic.
