This is a good post. My fiance was a big drinker of soda and then had problems recently with kidney stones. Since then he has cut back on soda drastically. We actually drink soda that we make with SodaStream. It is a much better alternative. My fiance has even said that he has noticed a big difference with his health. We'll stick with it for a while. Overall, I love drinking water. Only when I get a craving for something fizzy is when I reach for soda.
I love soda myself and like I said, I think an occasional one is ok. Some may disagree even on that, though! Water is best, though. And I actually wrote a post on that a couple weeks ago.
I am trying so hard to stop drinking soda. I am printing this to keep on the refrigerator, thank you for this it will help motivate me to grab the water.
Diet pop is deceiving too. The chemicals in the artificial sweeteners block the body's cells from using insulin correctly making the blood sugars elevated as well as high blood pressure and high cholesterol (metabolic disorder).

ReplyDeleteIt can be hard. And I HATE diet soda. But I hope it helps you. :-)

ReplyDeleteI agree. I refuse to drink anything with aspertame in it. Plus, I don't like the taste.
