In fact, too many sugary drinks is noted as the actual cause of death for 1 out of every 100 people in the US. 144,000 of those deaths are related to diabetes, again caused by a high intake of high-sugar beverages. Did you also know that the average American drinks 400 calories daily from sugary beverages, and that if you eliminated sugary beverages from your diet you could lose more than 40 POUNDS of fat this year JUST with this one simple dietary change? Yes, FORTY pounds. All you have to do is stop drinking sugar. Of course, instead of soda, sports drinks, juice, and other sugary beverages like sweet tea, lemonade, and fruit punch, you could just drink water, but lets face it, thats BORING and very likely why you are STILL drinking sugary beverages. But the reality is that there are so many other tasty alternatives to sugar-laden beverages that theres simply no good reason to choose high-sugar beverages any longer. Here are some easy swaps: Instead of sugary sodas try Zevia all-natural soda sweetened with stevia and erythritol. Instead of sports drinks like Gatorade and PowerAde, try Vitamin Water Zero (naturally sweetened with stevia and erythritol). Instead of Lemonade or Sweet Tea try True Lemon brand 100% all-natural lemon iced tea and lemonade mix. Instead of 100% fruit juice, try eating the actual fruit! As you can see, there are many alternatives to high-sugar beverages, and hey... dont lose your life to a soda. Youre better than that!
