sources of water

• fresh water is the best way to hydrate the body: it contains no energy, it is sugar free and will not rot teeth
• milk, particularly low fat milk is 90% water
• tea can be an important source of fluid and is a source of antioxidants and polyphenols
• fruit and herbal teas are suggested instead of tea varieties containing caffeine
• fresh fruit is preferable to fruit juice because it has more fibre and nutrients and less sugar
