When most people think about improving their health or achieving their body goals, the first thing that comes to mind is food.
They start swapping burgers for salads, avoiding carbs, and counting calories. While adjusting what you eat is essential, many overlook one crucial detail: What you drink can sometimes be just as important as what you eat.
We all know that fizzy drinks arent exactly a healthy food, but many of us underestimate just how damaging they can be to our goals. A single can of soda contains about 150 calories and those calories come almost entirely from sugar.
Now, you might think, 'Whats one soda?' But if youre drinking one or two sodas a day, those calories quickly add up. Imagine drinking two cans of soda daily. In a week, thats an additional 2 100 calories the equivalent of eating a whole extra days worth of food!
Even worse, sugary drinks dont fill you up the same way food does. You can easily drink 200300 calories without even noticing, and youll still be hungry afterwards. This makes it easy to overconsume calories, which can lead to weight gain over time.
