Tea is one of the most pleasant things to drink: it’s calming, hydrating and some varieties offer an array of benefits. Oolong tea may help weight loss while others may aid in lowering cholesterol and risk of heart disease. Plus, it is typically low in calories and much better for you than the majority of other flavored beverages. And now, there may be yet another reason to indulge in your tea habit even more. More
Water. It’s the stuff of life. Our bodies need to it function properly in almost every aspect; after all, almost 60% of the human body is water. Drinking H2o can also increase your energy, prevent headaches and possibly even curb food cravings. Even though I work from home (and thus conceivably have unlimited access to water), I still find it hard to remember to drink enough. And now that summer is heading into full swing, it’s even more important to make sure I’m staying hydrated. More
You’re tired. You have a headache. Your hands are dry. Your eyes are sticky. You know what’s going on: you’re in desperate need of some hydration. But you also know that if you drink another glass of boring, plain water, you’re going to fall asleep and drown in your 32-ounce sustainable aluminum reusable bottle. You’re supposed to get 64 ounces of water per day…but what’s a good exchange for the clear stuff? More
Coconut water: Some swear it’s a great way to replenish after after exercising (or a night of heavy drinking); others say the beverage (often sold for up to $3 a bottle) is nothing more that a hyped up marketing gimmick. Can’t it be both? More

Summer workout risks like dehydration, heat stroke, and exhaustion might seem like an old wives’ tale designed to sell bottled water and sunscreen, but the death of Zachary Gregory in the Chicago Half-Marathon on Saturday proves they’re all too real: The 26-year-old personal trainer collapsed of exhaustion while running in the extreme heat on Saturday morning, and was sent to the hospital along with 11 other runners from the race. His cause of death hasn’t been determined, but Gregory was pronounced dead at 9:52 a.m., less than three hours after the start of the race. More
As if we needed another reason to keep our holiday drinking under control, consider sleep. We often think of alcohol as a sedative, but as its sedative powers wear off, people often find themselves wide awake after just a few hours of sleep.
And even if that extra glass of egg nog you drank at your office holiday party doesn’t keep you up all night, it will impact your sleep stages. People who’ve consumed excessive amounts of alcohol decrease what’s called their “slow-wave sleep” (the deepest sleep cycle). People also report waking up more during the night, which can leave you feeling unexpectedly tired and cranky the next morning. Plus, heavy drinking is especially bad for those who suffer from sleep apnea; it can sedate the brain so that it doesn’t react as quickly to breathing difficulties. More

The water you drink will be colder and more refreshing, and you won’t be sitting at your desk for too long without a little break to head to the water cooler. More
