Ditch the soda

Studies show that around 60

percent of Americans consume one or

more sodas per day. This is alarming

since sodas are known to have various

negative effects on a person’s body. Just few of the

negative repercussions of soda on one’s health include

caffeine dependence, increased risk of obesity, in-

creased risk of diabetes, high cholesterol levels, bone

damage, and tooth decay. To quit the unhealthy habit of

drinking soda, one can drink healthier alternatives such

as fruit juice, fruit shake, smoothies, dark chocolate

beverage, or milk shake. One can also make his own

soda using soda chargers.

Opt for healthy desserts

Desserts are very high in

calories, fat, and sugar. And yet,

this is a common favorite among

people, especially those that have a sweet tooth. The

good news is that one does not have to completely

eliminate desserts in his diet. What you can do is to opt

for healthier alternatives such as fruit desserts, yogurt,

dark chocolate, nuts, and so on. Opting for these des-

serts, which are low in fat, sugar, and calories can do

so much in improving one’s overall health. You may

also make your own desserts by using cream whipper

and cream chargers to ensure that you indulge in noth-

ing but healthy decadent treats.

Stop smoking

Smoking can contribute to so many kinds of

ailments such as heart diseases, lung cancer, emphy-

sema, and many more. Cigarettes contain nicotine,

which is an addictive substance that makes it hard for

smokers to say goodbye to this unhealthy habit. To

resolve this, you should stop smoking all together. It

may help to use an electronic cigarette. This device is

similar to real cigarettes. It also lights up and even

emits smoke in the form of water vapor. E-cigarettes

can help you curb the habit by letting you control the

amount of nicotine that you intake into your body.

Slowly, you can quit on smoking with the use of this

item.

Reduce alcohol intake

Consuming alcohol is another bad habit that many

people have a hard time breaking. While it is all right

to drink alcohol in small amounts, such as a glass of

wine with dinner, it is bad for the body when consumed

in large amounts. Alcohol can impair function and

thinking, and might lead one to make poor decisions. It

also affects one’s coordination and functioning nega-

tively.

To reduce alcohol intake, one should avoid going

to places where alcohol is served. When one feels the

need to drink alcoholic beverages, go for those that

taste like it but without the alcohol content.

Reduce stress

Finally, reduce the stress in your life. Go on a

vacation, get a massage, take a break from work, go

out and be with family or friends, and forget about

your problems once in a while. Stress can contribute to

a host of health problems. Reducing stress can help

improve your health.

S oda drinking is bad for one’s health. So

why are so many people still gulping

down these unhealthy beverages? There are so many

things you can point as

culprits. For one, you can blame

media’s advertisement and

glorification of these drinks,

such as how drinking a soda would make you look

cool. Another is people’s lack of education regarding

the negative repercussions of the drink. You may also

point at the beverage’s addictive element, caffeine,

which makes it difficult for some people to quit the

habit even when they want to.

Maybe if people are more informed as to the extent

of damage that drinking soda can bring to their health,

they would find it a lot easier to quit this habit. To get

to know more about the negative effects of soda

drinking to one’s health, here are a few that you really

should know about.

Caffeine effect

Caffeine is one major component of soda that has

several negative side effects on your body which

include but are not limited to jitters, irregular heartbeat,

insomnia, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels,

headaches, and vitamin and mineral depletion. On top

of it all, caffeine is an addictive stimulant.

That addictive element makes

it more difficult for a person to

stop drinking soda, even when

they understand the negative

health effects.

Obesity

Recent studies show a strong correlation between

soda consumption and obesity. Some research indicates

that people who drink at least one soda per day have an

elevated risk towards obesity. This is because soda is

high in calories, high

in sugar, and low in

nutrients.

In short, it can

make you gain

unnecessary weight that you really don’t want to have.

Soda consumption also plays a role in childhood

obesity as more and more kids get into the habit of

drinking soda at least one can per day.

Tooth decay

Apart from those two negative effects, soda

drinking can also contribute to tooth decay. Soda,

which contains about

9 to 11 teaspoons of

sugar, can cause

enamel erosion and

damage one’s teeth.

Aside from this, it also has acid that slowly

damages the surface of the teeth and makes it easier for

the bacteria in the mouth to do damage not only on the

teeth but also on gums and bones.

Now that you know the negative effects of soda in

your health, it is not enough that you just sit there and

do nothing about it except to worry. You should do

your part in ensuring that soda won’t harm you and

your family anymore. You can do this by eliminating

soda from your diet or by making your own healthy

soda alternatives. To do this, invest in a soda siphon

and some soda chargers so you can create your own

soda that does not contain harmful chemicals that can

cause the negative effects mentioned above.
