Drinking sweetened beverages daily has a drastic impact on your lifespan and increases the risk of mortality from digestive and health issues

This is my last day with drinking pop! This is my first step and the number 1 thing I have to stop doing out of all my sugar giving up stuff! I found out it does a lot to your person who knew?
Lol so this is where I’ll be starting if you want to try this week too?
Let’s go #SugarShakers

1. Promotes weight gain. Soda is high in calories and doesn’t curb hunger, making it easy to consume a high number of calories. Research also shows that people who frequently drink soda weigh more than those who don’t

2. Linked to chronic diseases. Studies have consistently shown that people who drink soda more frequently have a high risk of chronic conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and cancer

3. May contribute to liver disease. Soda is high in fructose, a type of sugar that can only be metabolized by the liver. Consuming too much fructose can overload your liver and turn the fructose to fat, which may contribute to chronic liver disorders

4. Can erode your teeth. Soda contains acids, including phosphoric acid and carbonic acid, which can promote an acidic environment in the mouth, leading to tooth decay. When combined with sugar, the effect is more harmful

5. Linked to skin conditions like acne. Research suggests that frequently consuming soda or added sugar increases your risk of moderate to severe acne

6. May promote skin aging. Some research suggests that people who consume soda or added sugar more frequently are more prone to wrinkles and other signs of aging

7. Can decrease energy levels. Soda is high in sugar, which can quickly spike your blood sugar levels, followed by a sharp drop, commonly called a crash. Frequently drinking soda can cause fluctuations in energy levels

8. Has no nutritional value. Soda has no vitamins, minerals, fiber, or any essential nutrients. It only adds excess added sugar and calories to your diet.
