Stop drinking Sodas and Soft Drinks

In the US alone, sodas are already considered the second most-drunk beverage of consumers’ choice just after water. But unlike water, sodas contain an average of 44 grams of sugar (1.55oz).

One soda will not likely kill you, but drinking soft drinks regularly will spike your blood sugar. Thus leading to excess sugar being transformed into fat and a higher obesity rate, as well as contributing to diabetes and an increase in high blood pressure reports all around the country. A study published in 2006 by the American Society for Clinical Nutrition concluded that the consumption of soft drinks may cause adverse effects on the mineral density of bones. But that’s not the only bad news if you’re looking for a way to live longer.

Earlier on, in 2001, another study published this time by Lancet, also concluded that ingesting daily sodas and soft drink beverages increase the obesity rate in children. The daily intake of up to two cans of soda will elevate the risk for young adults to develop diabetes, as well as the risk of developing gout in both adult men and women.
