3 Beverages You Need to Quit Drinking

By Virginia Laird

When it comes to choosing what you will drink to maintain hydration, water is paramount. It is advised that you should consume at least half of your body weight in ounces of water each day. However, there are millions who forego this beverage and opt for a more tasty treat. Healthcare professionals warn that you should be careful when choosing a beverage other than water because there are plenty of harmful side effects to doing so. A few beverages recommended you stop drinking, and why, include:

  • Juice is linked to sugar crash 
  • Soda offers no nutritional value
  • Alcohol is addictive

Juice is Linked to Sugar Crash 

Juice is loaded with sugar. As you choose to pound juice you may find the body reaching a point in which it loses all energy. This is known as a sugar crash. Those who experience such a crash may also report having extreme fatigue, headaches, and a lack of focus. Those who choose to consume juices should always try to drink juice that has no additional sugar. Still, these have more sugar than you should consume in a day. It is best that you limit your consumption of juice right away to help avoid the dreaded sugar crash.

Soda Offers No Nutritional Value

While soda has plenty to offer for the taste buds, it is full of calories that offer no nutritional value. These calories are loaded with sugar and chemicals which should not be brought into the body. Regular sodas offer empty calories that can compound the issue of weight gain. Although you may choose diet sodas, these are also extremely unhealthy. Diet sodas contain chemicals that are linked to a variety of health issues, including Alzheimer's and some cancers. Health and wellness experts say that eliminating soda altogether is the best choice when it comes to putting your health first.

Alcohol is Addictive

While an adult beverage may be extremely enticing after a long day of work, alcohol contributes to poor health. Research indicates that overconsumption of alcohol can increase your chances of developing issues with high blood pressure, as well as obesity. Rather than reaching for an alcoholic drink, it is best that you choose water. Alcohol is also extremely addictive. For some, this addiction can lead to serious mental health problems, as well as other physical ailments. Now is the time to begin getting hold of your addiction and stopping your alcohol consumption.
