Break Your Soda Habit

June 6, 2009 by Adria Ali 2 Comments

      A lot of people have taken a stand against their soda habits.  Others, have either given up or don’t care.  If you haven’t put any thought into kicking your soda habit then you should reconsider.  Soda not only breaks down the enamel on your teeth (never to return again), it also causes potassium problems.  Low potassium levels (hypokalaemia) could lead to weak muscles, heart problems, vomiting, and diarrhea.

How to Kick Your Soda Habit Today:

  • Take baby steps. If you drink four sodas per day, replace two with an alternative today.
  • Make alternatives slowly. Start with diet soda, then switch to flavored water.
  • Once you’ve gotten comfortable with this routine, replace your other sodas with an alternative.
  • Still alive? Great! Now switch those diet sodas or flavored water to plain water. Don’t like plain water? Try adding fresh fruit to them.
  • Experiment with other beverages like teas, milk, soy milk, and seltzer – the goal here is to hydrate mostly with plain water.
  • Don’t keep soda in the house. Make it a treat to be enjoyed now and then (source).

     If you have to have the occasional soda; it won’t hurt you.  However consuming multiple sodas through out the day can have some lasting results.  Diet sodas are not exempt!  They may not have the calories, but they still affect your body.  Change your ritual, and your body will thank you!

    I'll drink to that!! Water, that is. Now that I'm drinking much less diet soda and more water, diet soda tastes terrible! Plus all that sodium added to your diet. Nasty. JulieV

    I use a carbonator from Soda Club. It's Fizzy water without the phosphorous, etc, just the gas, and it's a very refreshing, economical and earth-friendly alternative to diet soda. If you must have flavor, Soda Club has regular and diet syrups that are excellent. The starter packs make perfect gifts, as well. I've converted many grateful friends and family members that way. They are so happy to no longer be lugging cartons of soda home.
