SilverWine: Do the drink - is there one better than another?

What boosts you? I looked a quite a few drinks and boost is one that I like because to me the flavor is better and I feel fuller longer. This is not the same for everyone so here is what I found about the drinks.

******Remember, I am not a doctor or dietitian so please if you have any medical questions please talk to your doctor before beginning a diet with anyone of these drinks.*******

Which one is better? There is so many different diet drinks on the shelves how can we tell what is good for us. As for me, I am a diabetic and many of the weight control drinks have so much sugar I can't have many of them.

One of the best answers is always water. Water is no calories and you can add fresh fruit or veggies for different flavors.

Water helps maintain body fluids. Since our body is made up of 60% water it is one of the best things to the functions of these bodily fluids include digestion, absorption, circulation, creation of saliva, transportation of nutrients, and maintenance of body temperature.

It helps to energize a person muscles.

Keeps a person's skin looking vibrant. Staying hydrated keeps moisture in the cells.

Helps your kidney works better.
