Pop is the worst. Drink some dang water.
It's very well known that pop is bad for you. So why do so many people drink it every single day? Because it's addicting, it's something to do with friends, it gets you going in the morning, it tastes good, blah blah blah. Whatever the reason, I'm just going to pound it in your head some more, It's so bad for you. How bad?
1. It increases your blood pressure.
2. It destroys your teeth.
3. It may contain brominated vegetable oil which is banned by the World Health Organization and banned for use in food in most other countries including all of Europe and Asia. It was first patented as a flame retardant. You can find it in MOUNTAIN DEW, FANTA ORANGE, SUNKIST PINEAPPLE, AND SQUIRT just to name a few.
4. It adds a lot of extra calories to your daily intake that is not giving you any nutrients.
5. It has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, kidney stones, and liver problems.
6. It contains fake sugars. Want to scare yourself? (It is October). Google aspartame and phenylalanine.
Guys, drinking one soda a day adds up to about 91,000 calories a year! That's also about $574.50 a year. That's a plane ticket. Or five months of groceries. Or 6 months of gas. Or a wardrobe upgrade. Or just more money in your savings account.
I'm a lucky girl, I love water (thank you, parents). But if you don't love water because it's so boring (wah wah) try adding a water enhancer like mio to it (just check the ingredients for aspartame!). Or add fruit! There are a ton of combinations that are amazing. My favorite is a red apple and a couple cinnamon sticks. Please drink water. It's so good for you. Like just as bad as pop is for you, water is 100X so good for you (think healthy skin, healthy insides, more energy).
