In many countries, people are consuming more sugar-based drinks than before. Why is this happening, and what could be done to reduce sugary drink consumption?

Good health is a chief principle to live disease-free life. Consumption of

drinks

containing lots of

sugar

is increasing in most countries. There are so many causes for an increase in sweetened

drinks

which will be elaborated on in detail in

this

essay

along with

the recommendation to reduce them.

Firstly

, these

sugar

-based

drinks

are very tasty which satisfies the taste buds and are easily available in the markets. Manufacturers add preservatives and other ingredients which create the myth that these beverages are fresh which provokes a person to select these potions.

For example

, whenever people feel tired, they prefer coco cola

instead

of plain

water

thinking that it will quench their thirst but it gives craving for more.

Secondly

, humans are so entrenched in their day-to-day activities which makes them compromise with their health. People buy bicarbonate

drinks

with the maximum quantity of

sugar

due to

busy schedules in their professional and personal life. Government should conduct awareness programmes and medical campaigns over the numerous diseases like diabetes caused because of excess

sugar

intake, impose more taxes on these, they should not be sold in school canteens and many more.

Moreover

, the media should add fuel to policy maker’s efforts by using social platforms to encourage the population to follow good habits for their well-being and make them aware of the chemicals present in these aerated

drinks

.

Above all

these, a person should become determined for their own lifestyle and consume healthy liquids

for instance

tender coconut

water

, fruit juices without sweeteners, detoxifiers, nutritious

water

(like cinnamon and lemon

water

), herbal tea, fruit punch, etc.

Overall

, individuals prefer drinking sugary liquids

due to

their hectic hustle-bustle life

as well as

easy availability and these can be reduced by outspreading the proper knowledge of diseases and encouraging them to have limited

sugar

.
