Healthy Living Tip #1
People I cannot say this enough, water,
water, water, and water. The soda companies are making a killing off of us and
killing us. Drinking Soda is one of the worst things you can do to your body. Some
people drink soda like it is water, some even instead of water. I was guilty of
this for many years. Sure, the primary ingredient is water, but, with all the
other “stuff” it contains. It can have a… toxic… poisonous… lethal… venomous…
harmful effect on your entire body. Drinking soda is a sure-fire way to age
faster and die before your time. Soda (or soft drinks) have an alarming amount
of sugar, calories and harmful additives in it that have absolutely no
nutritional value what so ever. Studies have linked soda to osteoporosis,
obesity, tooth decay and heart disease. Despite this, soda accounts for more
than one-quarter of all drinks consumed in the United States…. and we wonder
why we can’t lose weight and why we have health problems. Another thing to take
into consideration..... Juice. Yes juice is better for you than soda. However,
you need to be aware when consuming juices as well, especially if you happen to
be a diabetic. The sugars in different juices can cause spikes in blood sugar
levels, precautions must be taken. So often our health problems do not begin on
their own. We encourage our illnesses and diseases every day by not "practicing prevention." We know
better, we try to fool our minds with excuses, but our bodies can’t be fooled
about what we put in them. I hope the next time you look at a can of soda or a bottle of juice you
take note of the ingredients and smarten up for the good of your own health and
that of your children and grandchildren.
