Dangerous Diet Drinks

Posted By: Personal Trainer Huntington | Fitness Together Cold Spring Hills on 02/09/2012

The growing number of diet sodas and beverages on the market says a great deal about their popularity. These low-cal alternatives may help dieters shave a few extra calories off their daily intake, but they could be doing more harm than good. 

Studies have shown that many dieters who frequently sip on the “safer” sodas are more willing to make dietary exceptions with food because of the assumed calorie cushion offered by alternative sweeteners. Unfortunately, the extra indulgences are often more detrimental than that beverage itself. 

Additionally, diet beverages are frequently loaded with sodium, leading to excess water retention, arterial strain, and increased risk of heart disease. So, while you may think swapping sugary sodas for their diet alternatives is helping you shed unwanted pounds, they might actually be facilitating weight gain, and creating long-term heart health problems.
