Drink Yourself Healthy-

Working out at the gym, skipping desserts, piling on the veggies at dinner and sipping on a café latte seems like a great health regimen. Many dieters focus on the calories they are chewing instead of those that we drink. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention http://www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/healthy_eating/drinks.html has a great example of what the average person drinks on a daily basis.

7am: Start the day off with a medium café latte = 265 calories

12pm: Take a lunch break and enjoy a 20oz coke = 227 calories

2pm: Afternoon break is perfect for a cold sweetened ice tea = 180 calories

7pm: Dinner is served along with a glass of ginger ale = 124 calories

Throughout the day the total calories consumed through beverages alone equals 796 calories (You could have indulged in a chocolate berry tart for the same amount).

Paying more attention to what we drink will help our bodies feel fit, energized and lose weight. Arbonne has several Fit Essential beverages that help keep you on track, satisfied, energized and healthy.
