Though last week's extreme heat wave seems to have broken, it's still pretty hot out there. Keeping yourself hydrated in summer weather is very important. Water may be the best thing you can drink for your health, but this article from
Fitness Magazine lists 8 other beverages that can offer other health benefits while contributing to your daily fluid intake. They include:
- green tea
- mint tea
- low-fat milk
- soy milk
- hot chocolate
- low sodium tomato juice
- cranberry juice
- orange juice
What do you think about this list? I think there are some semi-controversial drinks there -- including milk (some people are allergic), hot chocolate (packaged brands may include additives), and
soy milk -- that some people may argue don't qualify as one of "the healthiest" drinks or may have concerns about. Everything in moderation, right? Read the

It's interesting that 1/4 of the list is tea and 3/8 is fruit juice. I can understand why green tea is listed there but why do they even list mint tea, this seems a little too particular. Does it have something to do with ice mint tea since this is mostly summer drink. Another thing is why does it have to be these 3 particular juices, I would think any fruit juice would do...
