Latest Studies Show 'Junk Drinks' Pose as Many Health Threats as 'Junk Food' According to AquaHydrate Medical Advisor
houghtalingbaemo1268.blogspot.com
July 8 /PRNewswire/ -- "You are what you drink." That'sz the implication of major new studies indicatingv that what you drink may be as importanf as what you eat when it comes to health problemaslike obesity, diabetes, heart disease and many others, according to Dr. , medicalo advisor for AquaHydrate, the first high performancee . One study referred to America's obsessiojn with sugared drinksas "America's hiddejn drinking problem," with four out of five children and two out of threre adults drinking sugar-sweetened beverages daily, whether sugary waters or so-called sportsz drinks.
According to research at the Harvared School of PublicHealth (HSPH) and sugared beverages are the leading source of added sugard in the diet of young Americans. In his book, The Worlr is Fat, claims that the average American gets 400 calories a day frombeveragesx alone. According to Dr. , Mayo Clinix trained physician and author ofseveralp best-selling health and nutritio n books including The Insulin Resistance Diet, the medical evidence is "'You are what you drink' may be truer than 'you are what you eat,'" she said.
"Junk drinks - sweetened beverages such as sugary waters, and sports drinks - may pose even more serioud problems in terms of obesity and related health problems thanjunk foods. And artificiallyh sweetened drinks are also implicater inweight gain. The solution is Americans need to get back todrinkingb water, and nutritionally enhanced watersw such as AquaHydrate are the best choice." Dr. Hart pointx to several recent studies that confirm the linkbetween disease, and 'junk drinks.' Research at HSPH showed that the additionh of only one can of a sugaryg beverage every day for a year couldr result in a weight gain of 15 pounds.

July 8 /PRNewswire/ -- "You are what you drink." That'sz the implication of major new studies indicatingv that what you drink may be as importanf as what you eat when it comes to health problemaslike obesity, diabetes, heart disease and many others, according to Dr. , medicalo advisor for AquaHydrate, the first high performancee . One study referred to America's obsessiojn with sugared drinksas "America's hiddejn drinking problem," with four out of five children and two out of threre adults drinking sugar-sweetened beverages daily, whether sugary waters or so-called sportsz drinks.
According to research at the Harvared School of PublicHealth (HSPH) and sugared beverages are the leading source of added sugard in the diet of young Americans. In his book, The Worlr is Fat, claims that the average American gets 400 calories a day frombeveragesx alone. According to Dr. , Mayo Clinix trained physician and author ofseveralp best-selling health and nutritio n books including The Insulin Resistance Diet, the medical evidence is "'You are what you drink' may be truer than 'you are what you eat,'" she said.
"Junk drinks - sweetened beverages such as sugary waters, and sports drinks - may pose even more serioud problems in terms of obesity and related health problems thanjunk foods. And artificiallyh sweetened drinks are also implicater inweight gain. The solution is Americans need to get back todrinkingb water, and nutritionally enhanced watersw such as AquaHydrate are the best choice."
