Answers
Answer:
No beverage is inherently good or bad. They can each be enjoyed as part of a healthy lifestyle when consumed in moderation and as part of an overall balanced diet.
Beverages are an integral part of our lives and we select them for lots of different reasons – thirst, fun, taste, energy, hunger, boredom, to cool down and even warm up. Personal selection is based on your age, stage, lifestyle and the occasion. Many beverages are also part of our social occasions with family, friends and at special events and holidays.
Hydration
It is common knowledge that water is essential for life. It is recommended that we drink around 6 to 8 glasses of fluid each day to ensure our body has all the water it needs to function normally.
Water is important to maintain our body temperature, keep skin moist, transport oxygen in our blood, and for vital organs to stay healthy and function normally, to name a few of its important functions.
Water is the oldest hydration medium, before the invention of other beverages. Today, because of advancement in food technology, other beverages have been developed so we have a lot more variety to choose from. Although all non-alcoholic beverages can be used as a hydration medium they need to be balanced through a healthy beverage consumption.
In Fiji temperatures can be hotter resulting in an increased need for fluid to keep cool and comfortable. On very hot days, the body sweats to maintain an even temperature, which contributes to an increase in the loss of fluid so more fluid is needed for your body to function optimally.
