How to Get the Most (or Least) From Your Drink
We've all heard the saying, "you are what you eat." But what we drink can be just as important. Staying well hydrated is critical to our health. Dehydration can cause fatigue and difficulty with mental focus, make it difficult to tolerate hot weather, negatively impact exercise performance and can increase our risk for urinary tract infections, kidney stones and gallstones.

Tea Thyme Soda
This simple black tea is infused with cinnamon and fresh thyme for a crisp, refreshing taste. The ancient Greeks used thyme in their baths and burnt it as incense in their temples, believing it was a source of courage. In the European Middle Ages, the herb was placed beneath pillows to aid sleep and ward off nightmares. Today, thyme tea is thought to help ease the symptoms of coughs and bronchitis.
