Stop drinking soft drinks

I am sure that you enjoy a soft drink as much as we all do but these beverages do more damage to your health than anything else - since it is so difficult to keep track of how much you drank, especially if you are drinking from one of those huge soda bottles.

The soft drinks are so dangerous to your health that the American Beverage Association itself is recommending that kids stop drinking soda altogether. The beverage industry will now offer only and water and 100% juice in elementary schools and only nutritious and/or lower calorie beverages in middle and high schools.

So how can you stop drinking soft drinks?

1. Drink plain water. If you think that it is not delicious enough, add a drop of lemon/lime juice. No sugar though! You may also buy rosehip flowers and if you soak them in water for a few hours you will get another calorie-free flavor that you can add.
2. Stay away from vending machines of all types. All tap water in the United States is safe for drinking so you do not even have to go a vending machine or to a convenience store to buy bottled water.
3. When you do have a desire to drink something other than water, get some oranges and make your own juice. Stay away from the juice purchased from the supermarket - it has sugar that you simply don't need. While diet drinks are a better option, they are nothing but a bunch of chemicals poured into water - we recommend that you stay away from them as well.
