Chapter 62 ★60 Choose drinks carefully

Almost all of our favorite consumer beverages are coffee, soda, milk, alcoholic beverages, fruit sodas, and tea. In fact, we need to choose drinks carefully. The most important reason is: among so many drinks we can choose, there are not many that are really good for us. The obsession we take for granted these days is the problem of these beverages being spiked with pick-me-ups, and it's not just about the potentially harmful additives and calories in soda or diet drinks.When I learned a few years ago how many calories were in our beverage choices, I changed my drinking habits and only drank water.This is my personal choice because, well, I'd rather get my calories from some chocolate dessert than a drink.

If you can find alternatives to these high-calorie drinks, I believe you can easily lose ten to fifteen pounds in a year.If you belong to the 20% overweight group, then you should change your drinking habits. If your tap water is clean and of good quality, you don't need to buy bottled water.The tap water in our area tastes terrible to drink, so we all drink distilled water, which is not only cheaper but also easy to get than the aforementioned drinks.Just add a little ice cubes and a small slice of lemon to distilled water, and you'll find it tastes better than some of the branded bottled waters on the market.

If you're used to drinking strong or pungent beverages, you may find it difficult to drink distilled water when you first start.However, as long as you drink for a while, you will find that the sweet soda and those added carbonated or caffeinated drinks in the past are really unwise, and you will also find that we are already addicted to drinking these unhealthy drinks. nation.Plus, you'd be surprised at how much glass bottles and aluminum cans are recycled. Of course, if you have children, you should keep them away from these carbonated drinks.One day, the kids will surely thank you.

Tip: Remember!Coffee, caffeine, and beverages containing carbonates (such as sodas) are highly addictive.Therefore, you must persevere psychologically and physically.Even if you're not a coffee addict, chronic coffee consumption can lead to some serious degenerative symptoms like migraines, depression, and vomiting.You can reduce your drinking by half in the first week, and then reduce it to a quarter in the second week. In the third week, you can completely avoid the negative effects of coffee.
