Soda Is Responsible For Childhood Obesity:

You all probably know that soda is rich in sugar, but do you know how much sugar is contained in just 12 ounces of soda (0.35 litres or small bottle of soda)? 12 ounces of soda might look like a small amount, but it contains the equivalent of ten teaspoonfuls of sugar.

Now if I ask you to add the same amount of sugar to coffee or tea, imagine how those beverages would taste. Forget about tea or coffee, just imagine pouring ten tea spoons of sugar into plain cold water. Adding a little sugar in water may make it tasty, but add too much of it and its taste become awful.

Depending on the amount of soda your kids drink each day, they are consuming hundreds upon hundreds of empty, useless calories.

Sugar and soda

These calories don’t provide your kids with any kind of nutrition, if anything, they make your kids fatter.

Sugar makes your kids fat in two ways, first by converting itself quickly into glucose and getting deposited in your body as fat and second, by making them hungry.

You will notice that when you pop a sweet candy you would suddenly feel hungry even though you have eaten only a moment ago. Now that you understand how bad soda could be for your kid’s health, you are probably wondering about how to eliminate it from their life.

To be realistic, it is not at all possible to eliminate soda from the diet of your kids, especially if they have been addicted to it for months. Heck, even we adults take time to get rid of alcohol or cigarettes. However, you can surely control their soda intake in a number of ways.

How to cut your kids soda intake:

1. Pour one or two teaspoonfuls of sugar in water and make them drink it. Provide this drink to them as often as you can. I know that any amount of sugar is harmful for your kids, but if two teaspoonfuls of sugar could help them get rid of 10 teaspoonfuls of sugar, I would any day take that option.

2. Prepare fruit juices for them. Now I am not asking you to buy ready made fruit juice packages from your local store, they are as bad as soda. I am talking of extracting the juices of organic fruits. This is yet another way to take their mind away from soda.

3. Limit your kid’s soda intake to no more than 1 can per week. Slowly you could teach them the advantages of avoiding it.

Kindly share this information to all and spread the awareness.
