Drink this instead of that

While shopping at the grocery store today, I couldn't help but notice that amount of people buying soda...whether it be soda "heavy" or diet soda. I know we all have a craving for something bubbly from time to time...I do have an alternative for you.

Soda used to be made with actual sugar but now it is made with high fructose corn syrup (chemical/toxin), food coloring, sodium, phosphorus which leaches calcium and vit d from your bones, and other artificial flavoring. It also has been shown to increase sugar cravings later in the day causing you to want to have more sugar. Sounds good right?

YUCK. What the hell is that? Is that anything you REALLY want to put in your body? 150 or so calories of NOTHING. OR 0 calories of still NOTHING. Zero calories or 150 calories...it's still doing nothing for you except dehydrate you even more than you probably already are.

Drink water and 100% fruit and vegetable juice and one of my all time favorites, seltzer water! YUMMMMM!!!

I love seltzer water because it really satisfies by bubbly craving! Try all different flavors from POLAR: Lemon, Lime, Blueberry, Raspberry, Triple Berry, Mandarin Orange, etc etc. They have 0mg of Sodium, no artificial flavors, and it's WATER with just a little bit of carbonation. You can add a little bit of 100% fruit juice to make a fun refreshing drink! Or even a little vodka or run for a low calorie night cap. ;)

Way too many people aren't drinking enough water but they will down 1-5 bottles of coke or sprite a day...but they see it as "okay" because they drink the diet. The diet is EVEN WORSE.

Have a soda every once in a while and you will most likely be okay, but drinking it instead of water is NOT okay.

Anyways, long story short...soda=toxins and won't make you healthier. Drink water or drink some seltzer and life will be good. Your body will thank you for the nourishment!

I just picked up a Triple Berry Polar Seltzer water myself...CHEERS! :)
