Drink the right way, your hair needs it.

You know the body is not just made up of chicken and chips, right? Yes Jenny, am talking to you, put those wings down and drink some water. There are so many foods that we consume every day and drink in excess, yet when it comes down to it, there is no better way to keep yourself well hydrated than with water.

Drinks can be a great source of hydration, but not all drinks are created equal. It is important to know the difference between types of beverages so that you know what to look for in terms of your health.

water

Water is the best choice for hydration. It’s affordable and convenient, so you’ll feel good about drinking it. It’s sustainable because it takes less energy to produce than most other drinks and we know how much of a priority sustainability is for us! In fact, according to Harvard Medical School professor Drew Ramsey: “Drinking 8 glasses of water will give you more energy than eating an apple.”

coffee
Coffee is not only a great source of antioxidants, but it can also help you stay hydrated and burn fat. Coffee has been shown to increase your metabolism, which means that you’ll be burning more calories throughout the day. When taken with other beverages (e.g., water), it will keep you feeling more awake and alert while reducing fatigue during the day or night.

Sports drinks
Sports drinks are designed to help with hydration in the heat. They contain electrolytes (sodium, potassium and other salts), which can help you rehydrate faster after a workout or long day at work.
Sports drinks are a good choice if you’re exercising outside on hot days; however, they’re not ideal for people who aren’t exercising at all because they can cause stomach cramps and diarrhea if consumed too quickly before exercise begins. So Latisha, if you aren’t doing a workout, let that sports drink go.

Alcohol
Alcohol lovers gather here. Alcohol is a diuretic. This means that it makes you urinate more often. When you drink alcohol in excess, the body experiences dehydration which can lead to serious health problems like heart disease and stroke. Joy, the joy you think is missing from your life right now is not in the barrel of rum, put it down!

You need to drink fluids
There are a number of things to consider when drinking water, coffee, and sports drinks. First off is the amount of fluid you should drink on a regular basis. The Institute of Medicine recommends that healthy adults consume at least eight 8-ounce glasses daily.

Next comes the type of liquid: plain old water is great for keeping your body hydrated; however, if you’re looking for something more filling than plain old H2O then opt for tea or coffee instead—they’ll give you more bang for your buck (literally). If your taste buds are craving something sweet but don’t want to deal with calories from sugar or artificial sweeteners like Splenda®, consider having some fruit-infused iced tea instead! Or maybe even go the whole hog by adding lactose-free milk into either one? You can also mix up some homemade smoothies using fruits like pineapple chunks as well as yogurt (which provides protein) or low-fat cottage cheese cubes which contain calcium too!.
