What’s on your plate for your health?
Canada’s new food guide puts a mouth full on drinking water and staying hydrated. Water is essential for life. Without water – life on earth will not exist and you will not exist. Focus more on water — and avoid sugar drinks, juice boxes, pop (soda) fruit drinks – that’s a no go!
