How to Stop Drinking Soda for Heart Health?
Since February is National Heart Month, quitting sodas is a great way to take care of your heart. Drinking two or more sodas increases the risk of getting heart disease, diabetes, and it changes your metabolism. Too much sugar also leads to losing your teeth and bone loss. Yet, there are alternative drinks to stop drinking sodas. Drinking one glass of water instead of soda will keep you hydrated.
But, if you like the bubbles in sodas, you can drink carbonated mineral water instead. Carbonated mineral water has no sugar. You can add a slice of lemon or other fruits to give it flavor. Always read the labels of the drinks to make sure it has less sugar, no added sugars, and sodium. Last, you can drink plain black coffee which recent studies have shown is good for heart health.
Black tea is another good choice especially if you want to lose weight or maintain your current weight. Drinking less sugary drinks will improve your health over time. Additionally, quitting sodas will improve your blood pressure. Also, drinking sports drinks with less sugar will help your body get electrolytes for your heart. Here are more resources about the health benefits of quitting sodas.
