Cut The Pop!
Some food for thought…If you want to increase your health, one thing you can do that can make a difference to your health immediately is to stop drinking soda pop. Not only should you do this for your weight but for your overall health and the health of your family too.
Pop contains a lot of caffeine and sugar. It doesn’t quench thirst and in fact, it messes with your body in many ways including your blood sugar which can spike and plummet leaving you without energy. Some soda beverages have a whole cup of sugar in a single serving and more than 100 calories per glass plus the equivalent caffeine of a cup of coffee. Do you see any vitamins or nutrients on the list? Not likely..
Plus, high fructose corn syrup is in many of these carbonated beverages in the top five ingredients and the results of that are that your hypothalamus which regulates your appetite cannot distinguish being full. If you drink three or four glasses of soda a day with or without meals, this can equate to consuming a whole extra meal. That could equate to a pound of weight gain a week… Definitely something to think about.
I really like the variety of health information you have on here. Very informative. My father used to make dandelion salad–that post brought back a lot of memories.
Thanks Xialan. What did the salad taste like? I take a supplement with dandelion root in it but mix it with orange juice or into a smoothie so I don’t know what it tastes like.
This is something I have to cut back on…too much pop. Not good for the teeth either!
