A Soda a Day Keeps Your Weight on the Rise

Never underestimate the power of junk food and in particular soda. Just one small 12 oz can of soda has as much as 42 grams of sugar and a 32oz soda from the fast food joint will give you a whopping 400 calories from the drink alone. Now this is just empty calories as it is common knowledge that soda has absolutely no nutrition.

This can give rise to a whole lot of weight gain. The reason for this is because when you drink calories your body does not really tell you that it is full, therefore you are not usually aware that you have taken in so many calories with just one drink. As well as giving you extra weight the extra sugar and overload of calories puts a strain on your digestive system and can put you at considerable risk for diabetes.

So what should we do? After all sodas area way of life for many of us! A good alternative is to take just one soda a day and make it a diet one. Not all diet sodas taste bad; in fact some of them are surprisingly good. Of course drinking more water is always a good idea. It will fill you up and satisfy your thirst better than any soda can do. Try it for a week and you will find that you will drop some pounds and also feel better.
