​Raise your glass, or your mug and drink for better health.  Water rules when it comes to hydrating, but the choices below have some extra benefits and flavor.  Consider adding one, some or all to sip smarter and healthier:
 
Tart Cherry Juice – it’s rich in melatonin, the same hormone that tells your body when it’s time to go to sleep.  Sip some in the morning and before bed and you may just sleep longer and more soundly.
 
Milk – sure the mustache is fun, but the vitamin D packed beverage might play a role in fighting type 2 diabetes by helping your cells absorb glucose better, keeping your blood sugar in check.  Sip some milk, slightly warmed with a pinch of cinnamon and a bit of honey before bed or go old school & enjoy dunking a cookie in some cold milk
 
Coffee- it’s a magic elixir for many when consumed simply and in moderation. Coffee is linked with a lower risk of Alzheimer’s, heart disease & some cancers.  Sip some in the morning to get your day and your system revved and ready for the day.
 
Maple Water – it’s the new coconut water.  Some research shows Maple water may have a few health benefits, due to maple syrup containing more than 50 different phytonutrients, including polyphenols and lignans. Some of these compounds have been shown to have anti-cancer properties in lab studies.  Sip some soon and see if you will join the trend.
 
Green Tea- go green! It contains l-theanine, an amino acid that can help with brain health.  Sip some in a quiet place for a sense of relaxation.
 
Sip, sip hooray. Cheers to you and your health!
