The truth about sodas

Do you usually drink sodas?

United States is one of the countries that consume more these refreshing and tasty drinks! The influence of publicity is huge, you can see them everywhere! In every party, at home, at school… It’s super easy to “Grab-n-Go” and it’s very cheap. It has become a habit on our daily alimentation. People who usually drink sodas with caffeine are probably addicted to it but they don’t know it.




I suggest you to stop and think for a minute how often you drink soda during the week.

There are several reasons why people should reduce their consumption of sodas or even stop drinking them:

  • It doesn’t have any nutrients.
  • It has a lot of sugar so it can generate obesity.
  • It produces cavities in your teeth.
  • You consume it when you are thirsty but it does the opposite function! As it has so many sugar, your blood expulses it by the urine making you feel still thirsty.
  • Many sodas have caffeine, which can provoke irritability, tension, insomnia, gastrointestinal disorders, and excessive urination, among others.
  • It substitutes other healthier drinks.

Why don't you give a try to other natural drinks? You can create your own beverages with the fruits you like the most! Go for it, you won't regret it!

Tasty Candies!

Are you candyaddicted?






I don’t blame you. Candies are one of my favorite pleasures, a temptation hard to resist. I love their sweet taste and their attractive and striking color!

However, there are a lot of negative aspects we must take into consideration when we are consuming them. It is our responsibility control ourselves and take them within limitation, maybe just special occasions. An excess of candy promotes cavities and the losing of your teeth. Make sure you brush your teeth just after eating candy.

Another negative aspect is that they remove hunger so when it’s time for lunch or dinner you don’t want to eat the basic food your body needs. In addition, candies are extremely addictive and they don’t provide any nutrients. They are empty calories full of sugar, unhealthy and can provoke future diseases.

REMEMBER! If you care about your health, reduce the sweet, addictive gummies!
