Soda Alternatives

Soda Alternatives:
I grew up drinking Mountain Dew. It was my water. All day every day! Research has found that drinking just one serving of pop a day can increase the risk of fatal heart disease or heart attack by a whopping 35 percent. I had no idea how bad my soda pop addiction was. 😩

Back in 1998, soda consumption in the US reached an all time high with over 54 million gallons consumed per capita. Luckily, after almost two decades of public health initiatives, Americans have begun to ditch the sugar-filled fizz, with soda consumption hitting a 31-year-low in 2017.

While water should be your go to drink, it can be hard to give up that daily Mountain Dew if it has been a large part of your daily routine.

Here are a few healthy beverage alternatives to help with the transition: 👍🏼
1. Tea
2. Sparkling water
3. Sparking water with splash of 100% juice
4. Coconut water
5. Mineral water
6. Kombucha
7. 100% cold pressed juice
8. Water with lemon and/or cucumber
