Health Tip for Today




Substitute Soda or Sparkling Water for Fizzy Soft Drinks

Did you know that carbonated soft drinks are the single biggest source of refined sugars in the American and Australian diet? Dietary surveys have shown that soft drinks provide 7 teaspoons of sugar per day to the average American’s and Australian's diet. If you drink two soft drinks per day, you are consuming 1,960 calories per week and over 100,000 calories per year!

By substituting sparkling water or soda water for sugar loaded drinks, you can greatly reduce the amount of calories you are consuming. This simple habit can help you achieve a trim and fit body. Here are additional benefits you will receive from this habit:

Healthier teeth: Refined sugar is one of several factors that can help to promote tooth decay.

High-sugar diets may increase the risk of heart disease in people who are insulin resistant.

When you eat out, remember to always order sparkling water instead of sugar soft drinks. Add a lemon or lime for additional flavor. Remember, it only takes 21 days to acquire new habits.

Today is a good day to start a New Habit

To your awesome health
