Are you addicted to fizzy drinks?

cokeAre you a woman who loves to have atleast 2-3 cans of any fizzy drink a day? Did you know that thats a lot of sugar going into your system daily. Well drinking these colas or fizzy drinks are like 18 teaspoons of sugar into a big glass of club soda! We are not kidding. you also need to add a couple of drops of food coloring...Would you down so many cans now?

OK now you may say that you have substituted regular soda's with diet soda. Essentially if you are replacing milk and fruit juice with this, we can guarantee you that your diet would be deficient in calcium and Vitamin C and D.

The other evils associated with sodas are the following:

1.Caffeine:

Most of the sodas, whether colas or non-colas contain caffeine. Now you may ask what is wrong with caffiene! Well for starters it is very addictive, which is why you may be getting urges to down a soda every 2 hours! But other than this caffiene also causes other adverse reactions like insomnia, irritability and racing heartbeat. An extensive research was done by a leading University in the US between the difference in consumption of caffeinated versus non-caffeinated sodas. And the reports reveal that consumption is driven by the "mood-altering and physical dependence of caffeine" or in short the addictiveness.

If you are alarmed now we suggest you to come out of this addiction in a slow and systematic manner whereby slowly you can replace each of the caffienated soda with a non-caffienated soda. Then slowly replace teh non-caffienated soda with an equal amount of clear, pure water. You could also try adding lime to the club soda.
