As people have spent more time at home, many have rediscovered the simple joy of home-cooking and stumbled upon a secret weapon for health at the same time. By making smart, intentional decisions from breakfast to dinner and every meal (and drink) in-between, they are supporting strong bodies.

Mornings may look different from the norm for many families but staying on track with healthy choices remains a top priority. While you may not be stopping at your favorite coffeehouse on the way to work or school drop-off, a new way to enjoy coffee has grown in popularity, allowing you to get more out of your cup ofjoe from home.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, excessive alcohol consumption is responsible for one in 10 deaths among working-age adults in the United States. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans,which are produced jointly every five years by the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture, advise adults about healthy alcohol consumption.According to the guidelines, women should consume no more than one drink per day while men should limit their consumption to two drinks per day or less. Consuming more alcohol than the guidelines suggest can prove fatal, as the CDC notes that binge drinking is responsible for almost half the deaths related to excessive alcohol consumption.
