Its hard to drink as much fluids as we should. I drink a lot of water – but sometimes I just can’t take the thought of drinking anything that doesn’t taste. Propel is great, as I mentioned in an earlier post…But what about fruit juices? Well they are great as well.

It might seem like common sense, but I’ll just focus in on it for a few minutes as a happy little reminder. We are supposed to eat several fruits every day. How many of us are actually doing that? Mmm…Didn’t think I’d see too many hands. One easy way to ensure we get enough fruits (though probably not with all the benefits of actual fruit, so we should still eat that as well) is by drinking fruit juice. But don’t get just any fruit juice. Not even the ones that say, “made with natural fruit juices.” You want the 100% stuff. The other stuff has so much sugar and water in it that you might as well forget it as a fruit supplement and add it as a candy bar.

Juicy Juice and Welch’s are both great sources of 100% fruit juices. Yes, they cost a tad more – but think about the additional health benefits we derive. You’ll probably spend less time at the doctor (and dentist) and more than save the extra few dollars spent to get 100% juice.

I don’t know about you but I hate seafood. I like shrimp and I don’t mind halibut – but don’t try feeding me salmon or just about any other type of seafood. Thats unfortunate for me healthwise, as seafood appears to be extremely good for you – if you get the kind without mercury.

Over the years I have several times attempted taking Omega-3 supplements to help replace (at least in some small way) the lack of seafood in my diet. But every time has failed – either because of cost or taste – or a combination of the two. The pills can be rather expensive and they don’t taste very good and oftentimes result in bad tasting/smelling breath.

Recently I discovered Coromega and I really love them! You can buy them in packs of 90 off of Amazon. They are packaged in something similar to condiment containers (e.g. ketchup, mustard) and each packet contains one serving. They are flavored using natural flavors and can be eaten straight or mixed with something like a yogurt. I find they taste great just by themselves – though very sweet (but not from sugar!). The packets come in a variety of flavors including orange, lime, chocolate orange, etc.

For those who are running, Omega 3 fatty acids have numerous health benefits. Research indicates they are helpful for heart health, effective blood flow, and in fighting depression. You can read more over at Wikipedia.
