Health Tip: Choose Healthier Beverages
By LadyLively on September 11, 2014
Trendy coffees, sodas and other sweetened beverages can quickly add extra calories to your diet.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics suggests how to cut calories in your beverages:
- Plenty of plain water is recommended.
- Drink three glasses per day of low-fat or fat-free milk for protein and calcium.
- If you like juice, don’t drink more than 6 ounces per day, making sure it’s 100 percent fruit juice.
- Avoid highly caffeinated energy drinks, and never mix them with alcohol.
- Choose the smallest drink serving, and always read the nutrition label.
