How many soft drinks do you consume each day? Many of us drink too many! The challenge is the empty calories in sweetened beverages, which may contribute to:
- obesity
- high blood pressure
- diabetes
- some cancers
The good news is there are alternatives to sweetened drinks. Try switching over to coconut water for a flavorful low-calorie drink that's loaded with potassium and electrolytes to help expedite hydration and lower blood pressure. Remember how good it was for Tom Hanks in the movie "Castaway?" Give it a try!
