Sugary Beverages
We’re surrounded by sugary beverages. Drinks with a lot of calories and sugar are everywhere. These drinks also have a ‘glycaemic effect,’ which can result in blood glucose spikes and changes to the hormone insulin, which normally regulates blood sugar.
When you eat fruit juices and sugary beverages at bars, restaurants, or cafés, you may expose yourself to consuming more calories and sugar in one day than you know or should.
Popular sports drinks may appear to be a healthy choice if you are active and trying to stay active; however, most sports drinks are just slightly better than soda in terms of sugar and calories. A 32-ounce sports drink contains between 56 and 76 grams of sugar.
The number of people who regularly use sugary sports drinks is growing. This is due to astute marketing rather than true athletic advantages. The sugar level of most sports drinks is still around two-thirds that of soda or pop. It is critical to avoid soda, pop, and energy/sports drinks, as these are at the top of the list of drinks to avoid. Let’s just say it: sugary beverages are associated with weight gain and tooth harm. Consider drinking fruit-infused water or tea to remain hydrated.
