Can Drinking Water Instead of Soda Help Cut Calories?
Small changes, like drinking a glass of water instead of a bottle of soda, can jumpstart the journey to a healthier you. While a sweet, bubbly glass of soda may sound delicious and refreshing, the empty calories in the sugary beverage can quickly add up and create an unhealthy lifestyle. Is drinking soda instead of water worth it?
The Drinking Water Research Foundation recently reported an estimated 3.9 billion calories could be cut from 2.5 million adults’ diets in the United States if soda or other sugary beverages were replaced with water. This healthy habit could also take 1.6 million adults out of obesity.
Before you reach of a can of soda, consider drinking a glass of calorie-free water instead. Replacing a can of soda with a glass of water every day will save you approximately 100 calories, which can make a huge difference in your daily calorie intake over time.
Most sodas contain 40 to 80 grams of sugar per can or bottle, which is the equivalent to eating 20 to 40 sugar packets! Scary, right? What’s even scarier are the health hazards drinking soda can lead to: diabetes, heart disease, weight gain, tooth decay, kidney stones, osteoporosis and many more.
