What to drink?

Water is your best choice....if this gets too boring try flavour it by adding fresh pieces of fruit - try grapes, slices of apple, lemon, mint. It gives it a delicious flavour.

Rethink what you drink:

Avoid drinking your kilojoules or calories.
Kilojoules count, even the diluted ones!

Did you know ...

- 500 ml soft drink contains 12 teaspoons of sugar and 1000 kJ (240 calories)! This means you have just drunken 3 and a half slices worth of bread.

- Every 100ml of fruit juice is equivalent to a piece of fruit.

- An average glass of wine or a regular bottle of beer contains 600kJ (150 calories), which is equivalent to two slices of bread.

- Only drink a sports drinks if you are doing more than an hour of exercise everyday and if you need to gain weight.

- Watch out for vitamin enriched beverages as well as flavoured waters contain kilojoules and should be managed if you want to manage your waistline.
