Are you taking steps at the minute to improve your health? This is something we do whether or not we are watching our weight.

Slowly but surely, we are beginning to realize that our everyday food and drinks are loaded with sugar that we simply don’t need. We are now checking the labels for sugar content before we buy, and not just the fat. This extra sugar is what is known as empty calories which we store as fat.

We tend to think that changing what we eat is the way to lose weight and make improvements to our health, whereas we should also be looking at what we drink.

The bad news is that more and more of us are gaining weight and developing serious health problems sue to the huge amount of sugar that we are drinking without realizing. The numbers are increasing year after year and reaching epidemic proportions.

The drinks market is incredibly misleading, that healthy looking carton of juice could be anything but. Don’t be fooled by the various ingredients such as sucralose, corn syrup and sucrose, these are all sweeteners and sugars that make this drink one to avoid.

So nothing with these misleading ingredients ever finds its way into my shopping cart. If I want juice I am happy to pay a bit extra to get 100% pure fruit juice. I do also enjoy carbonated drinks too.

Sparkling fruit drinks can also be misleading so always check the ingredients. Three of the best that I’ve found are made by Fizzy Lizzy, Izze and R.W. Knudsen .The latter also make delicious fruity spritzers.

Basis of all of these drinks is simply carbonated water and natural fruit juice. The taste like a delicious soda but have no added sugars or sweeteners. So feel like you are drinking a soda but only having a natural juice.
