Fruit juice based cocktails
Everyone knows that keeping yourself hydrated is one of the key ingredients to lead a healthy lifestyle. While water is the most efficient way to stay on the right track you may not always be so keen on drinking plain, boring water all day long. And this is where fruit juices and fruit juice based cocktails come to the rescue.
The problem is not all juices are as healthy and many do more damage than good to your health as they are based on fruit concentrate and sugar. So be sure to check out the labels for those ingredients before buying juice or better, try and make your own fresh juice, whenever possible.
