While food does provide quite a bit of the fluids we need each day, what we get from it varies considerably with the kind of food eaten. For instance, fruit gives more fluid than bread. Soups and stews provide more fluid than grills. Fruit and vegetable juices and low-fat milk fall into this category; they may have some calories, but the nutrition they provide make it worthwhile. Soft drinks sweetened by sugar have no nutritional advantage and pile on the fat. Those that use artificial sweeteners may not make you gain weight, but they don't contain any nutrients either. So we need more fluids and the best of all is plain water. However, most people prefer to drink a variety of fluids throughout the...

Some say that we should drink water at room temperature; others proclaim cold water to be best. Still others claim that drinking cold water will cause cancer. Don't let this worry you; it...

Everything we eat or drink has some effect on our bodies and caffeine is no exception. However, while caffeine has some bad effects, it is not all bad news. How we are affected depends on how much we have and even when we have it. Drinking four or more coffees per day is not good, especially if we drink it in the late afternoon or night. The caffeine will stay in our bodies for up to eight hours, affecting our sleep. However, if you really need to stay awake, then caffeine is better for the job than other forms of uppers.
