WATER - When to Drink: At the Alarm: Guzzle water, Dr. Lodge suggests. Hydrating will help beat that groggy feeling and make your skin look its glowy best (both now and later in life), says David E. Bank, M.D., a dermatologist in Mount Kisco, New York.
COFFEE - When to Drink: At Breakfast: Coffee may help your heart and (if you take it black) metabolism, and it reduces risk for some types of cancer, studies show.
GREEN TEA - When to Drink: At Lunch: Sip tea. Green kick-starts metabolism and can help fend off breast cancer, says Jonathan R. Cole, M.D., medical director of the California Health and Longevity Institute. Black may lower blood pressure, research from the University of Western Australia suggests.
HOT COCOA - When to Drink:P.M. Snack: Hot cocoa (have it over ice if you can't take the heat) has more antioxidants than does coffee, red wine or green tea, a study from Cornell University reveals. Great for your heart and skin.
RED WINE - When to Drink: At dinner: Enjoy a glass of red wine: Piceatannol, a compound your body makes when you drink vino, could stunt fat-cell growth (woot!), the Journal of Biological Chemistry reports.
MILK - When to Drink: Before Bed: Grab milk-your skeleton will love the calcium, and your muscles will love the protein. You'll wake up even stronger.
