Today’s question is:

How many times per week do you consume sugary drinks (soda, juices, etc.)?

  • Rarely
  • 1–2 times
  • 3–6 times
  • More than 6 times


Time to make a big change!

We know they taste good, but sugary drinks or soft drinks are major contributors to obesity.

Consider this: Did you know an average can of sugar-sweetened soda or fruit punch contains about 150 calories mainly from sugar? That’s about 8 teaspoons of table sugar.

Just one 20-ounce bottle of a sugary beverage per day can result in gaining 25 extra pounds per year—25 pounds!

And based on the amount you’re consuming on a weekly basis, that number could be higher for you.

And that doesn’t include how these kinds of drinks contribute to the development of diabetes and heart diseases.

It’s definitely time to make a big change!

You’re ready to make some healthier choices, right?

As a part of what you’re doing, look to reduce or eliminate sugary drinks from your diet. Start by cutting your intake in half and then go from there.

If you want to lose weight or maintain your current weight, this one step may help you control weight gain. And you will also reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. A definite win-win.

Conclusion:

I hope this made some sense for you
