Summer, Summer, Summertime!
The sun, the heat, the pool, the fun, and the sugary drinks…wait, what? If you are like many other people, water is not the first drink that you reach for during the day. Unfortunately, it’s the sugary drinks that get the first grab and unfortunately, it’s these drinks that can often put people at a higher risk for chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.
But, water is SO GOOD for us! Here are 10 reasons why we should ALWAYS choose water:
- Increases energy and will relieve fatigue

Water doesn’t have to be boring either! Add fruit to spruce it up a bit! Strawberries, lemons, oranges, and raspberries are just a few fruits that will add yummy flavor to your water! If you’re feeling adventurous, add sliced cucumber or even a sprig of basil. You’d be surprised at the flavor these will bring! Start making those healthy decisions today!
