There was a time when I was too much addicted to fizzy drinks. I was just a teenager who lived the cozy NRI life and had developed a liking for these carbonated drinks. That flavour; that sweetness; even the taste of that sweet liquid after it had lost its fizziness was so dear to me.
It was such a bad condition that I didn’t even realise that I was growing weaker and my bones were becoming brittle day by day.
However, it was through various health awareness campaigns conducted in my school that I came to know about the vice of fizzy drink addiction.
I decided to take a drastic step that day. I completely avoided regular consumption of these drinks. The thought that it is for a better purpose, was what drove me.
Since then I stopped regular consumption of these drinks and switched to fruit juices or just plain water.
I noticed some changes in my body ever since :
- I was feeling more energetic
- I felt as if my bones got harder and stronger
- I felt more healthier than before
I still drink one or two glasses occassionally that too only when I’m attending some social function.
But all thanks to God; my complete dependence on these drinks as my primary source of refreshment was brought to a stop.
If I can do it, you can do it as well.
Cheers!
