You already know that drinking water is key to your health. Downing at least six cups of water daily can minimize bloating, prevent headaches, help prevent you from getting sick and smooth the appearance of wrinkles. It may even temporarily rev your metabolism, if you drink it on the cool side (72 degrees).
Coffee, which some people accuse me of being addicted to, is basically liquid gold. It may lower your risk for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, breast cancer, skin cancer, diabetes, gallstones, even oral cancer. It's also linked to a reduced risk for depression.
Orange juice guards against heart disease. Just watch the sugars—one cup contains 21 grams and 122 calories.
Chamomile tea can keep you calm. Ease into mellow mode at night with a cup of chamomile tea.
Cranberry juice may prevent gum disease and urinary tract infections. Cranberry juice also delivers 39 percent of the daily value for vitamin C per 8 ounces, raises levels of good cholesterol and keeps your urinary tract tip-top.
Chocolate milk keeps your abs flat. A glass of skim chocolate milk delivers a great combo of carbs and protein, helping you recover after a workout. Simply stir 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder or syrup that has less than 20 g sugar into your milk and sip.
Green tea may keep your weight steady. Plus, the tea's plentiful stash of antioxidants slashes your risk for cancer and heart disease.
Black tea may help fend off skin cancer!
Tomato juice may lower your cancer risk!
