People are having more and more sugar-based drinks. What are the reasons? What are the solutions to make people drink less.

It is indubitable that nowadays both adults and children are addicted to fizzy drinks.

This

dramatic increase in the

intake

of

sugar

-based drinks have caused adverse effects on the well-being of individuals. In

this

essay, I shall analyse some of the reasons for high

intake

of sugary drinks and

further

provide with viable solutions. To begin with, it has been noted that most teenagers are more likely to become addicted to fizzy drinks;

this

is because of the modern interactive advertisements. Companies invest huge amounts of money to advertise their drinks, but with misleading or hidden information on the nutritional values of the drinks.

For instance

, a recent survey showed that 80% of the children have minimal information on the side effects of these drinks. As a result,

such

children have weak immune systems and they are prone to fall sick more often. One of the ways to tackle

this

problem is to introduce strict laws and impose heavy fines on

such

companies which mislead the people with false advertisements. In addition,

such

companies should

also

advertise the harmful effects of excessive

intake

of their products. Another reason for

this

dramatic increase is due to the usage of artificial additives and high levels of

sugar

by food companies to enhance the taste of their drinks.

Consequently

, people are more addicted to these drinks because of the improved and sweet taste. For example, people with high levels of

sugar

intake

are overweight and usually have serious health problems. To combat

this

problem, schools and health centres should educate people about the negative impacts of high

sugar

intake

.

Moreover

, healthy drinks should be introduced with no artificial additives to decrease the level of overall

intake

of sugary drinks. In conclusion, drinks with high levels of

sugar

have caused serious consequences to the physical and mental health of people. Governments should not procrastinate with the implementation of new laws and imposing heavy fines on

such

companies which produce unhealthy drinks.
