How are Canadians staying Hydrated?

Posted August 28, 2026

Hot Canadian summer days call for some hydrating beverages to keep cool. HEAL participants were asked to share the beverages they drink and the top choice for participants part of the BC Generations Project and the Manitoba Tomorrow Project in summer is water! Coffee, tea, water, and carbonated drinks were the four drinks considered, and more data is still to come!

We would like to thank the participants of the HEAL study for their ongoing participation who make it possible to study diet and physical activity in Canada. As more data continues to be collected, we hope to share more interesting snapshots about Canadians.

We would love to hear from you, what is your go-to summer drink? Comment on our social media accounts!
