Stop drinking sugary drinks

18 Aug 2019

Every time you reach for a sugary drink, think again. There is very little redeeming value in them. To the contrary, soft drinks, sports drinks, fruit-flavoured or powdered drinks, and sweetened teas and coffees are among the most fattening things you can consume. Drinks full of sugar lead to obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, dental problems, and more.

Enjoy a refreshing glass of ice water. Add some lemon or lime. Drink your tea and coffee black. If you are looking to lose weight, combine calorie-free water with a small portions of healthy food at mealtime. Go for a walk. Take up a hobby. Find ways to occupy your mind with other things than food and sugary drinks.
