Whether or not you're enjoying this recent heat wave that's hit the province, it's important to remember to keep your body hydrated.

     Public Health Nutritionist with the Cypress Health Region, Cathy Knox says that while water is usually the best option, other drinks can be just as useful...

     She says beverages that are very sweet aren't very good.  Knox adds people used to believe coffee and other caffinated drinks would dehydrate the body, but now it has been determined that they will also help with hydration as well.

     Food can also be beneficial for maintaining bodily fluid, namely fruits and vegetables.
