Soft Drinks Can Be Hard On Your Body
When the weather is warming up, you may be tempted to add a few extra soft drinks to you daily routine.
Be careful. One can of a full-sugar soft drink has about 150 calories, so adding just one more soda a day adds up to or more than 1,000 extra calories a week. Many soft drinks also contain a considerable amount of caffeine. A can of cola, for example, has 31 to 55 milligrams of caffeine.
Many studies show that teenagers who drink a lot of sweetened beverages such as sodas, lemonade, punch, sports drink and fruit juice have a high calorie intake and tend to be overweight.
According to the U.S. department of agriculture, American teenagers drink twice as much carbonated soda as milk. Substituting soft drinks for milk contributes to poor calcium intake. It also can cause tooth decay.
If it’s difficult for you to cut back on soft drinks, consider gradually cutting back by replacing one or two a day with bottled water, or try mixing fruit juice with sparkling mineral water as a healthful alternative.
