BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WJHG) - A new year brings new goals and for many that could mean new health goals. Heather Kretzer with the Bay County Health Department joined us in studio with tips for living a healthier lifestyle in 2020.

The theme for Tuesday morning was "Rethink Your Drink." Kretzer said it's important to think about drinks when trying to be healthier, not just food. Many sodas, energy drinks, ice coffee blends, and other drinks contain a lot of sugar. She said limiting sugary drinks can have a big impact on weight loss goals.

Kretzer provided these recipes to help spice up water and add some extra flavor. For more information, watch Jordan's interview.
