More and more people today are drinking sugar-based drinks. What are the reasons for this? What are the solutions?

sugary and aerated

drinks

are gaining more popularity in today's world. The primary reason contributing to

this

phenomenon is because of its addictive taste and another reason is lack of health awareness, both of which will be discussed in the following passages

along with

its remedies.

Firstly

, it is obvious that we humans always lean towards food that tastes sweet and delicious.

This

is

due to

the fact that sweet edibles are addictive in nature. Especially canned

drinks

such

as Coke, Pepsi and other so-called energy

drinks

are in sugar content.

Secondly

, for the longest time, we are made to believe that these

drinks

are healthy, particularly the energy boosters. They are in fact no different from other soft

drinks

. They cause irreparable tooth damage and severe cardiovascular diseases. These companies have deliberately been misleading the public to consume more

drinks

in order to gain profits. Their marketing strategies are the main reason people end up buying more

drinks

. To overcome

this

issue, every individual must educate one's self of what they are ingesting.

For example

, they need to read the nutritional value and ingredients that are mentioned in the package. Another solution to

this

problem is to have self-control. It is up to oneself to not pick up unhealthy, overly sweet products.

Instead

, humans can opt to consume more natural products

such

as water, coconut water or fresh juices. To put it in a nutshell, it is up to us to take responsibility for our health. Brands will continue to promote these bottles but, we should take a strong stand and avoid drinking toxic

drinks

and take more of healthy

drinks

.
