Reach for a tall glass of water, instead of sugar-sweetened drinks. Here are some simple ideas to make better beverage choices and be healthier:

• Pass on sugar-sweetened drinks and choose water instead.
• Drink 100% juice without added sugar – fruit juice is sweet and tastes great on its own!
• Choose 1% or skim milk.
• Make water exciting! Add a slice of lemon, lime, cucumber or watermelon, or try sparkling water.
• Add a splash of 100% juice to water or sparkling water.
• If you’re having soda or juice for a treat, choose the small size.
