Water, water, WATER!!!

This is a re-post of a comment I left on someone's forum...I felt the need to share it:

If you want to see real PROOF of what sodas can do to you, and what a difference drinking water an make, check out my profile picture! As embarrassing as it is, I made this just to show the comparison - and this change happened in just 3 WEEKS!

Sodas had me so bloated and swollen, I looked like a tick about to pop - literally! I couldn't even lay my arms down at my side. I was disgusting, but I need to see that picture to remind myself - and others, just what sodas can do to you! I was drinking THOUSANDS of calories a day in sodas alone!! And don't believe the hype - DIET SODAS are no better!!! All that sodium and carbonation - it blows you up just like helium!! That goes for "sports drinks" as well. All that sodium is not necessary - unless you've been sweating profusely for a fairly long period of time, ie running a marathon...then you might need to replentish your sodium levels.

Now, I drink virtually nothing but water - with the occasional Starbucks canned Mocha Frappacino as a treat. I look and FEEL so much better!!

So, for you and anybody else here who thinks you don't like the taste of water and just can't do it - take another look at my photo...that should help you change your mind!! ;o)

I too agree with you.I don't know the reason exactly but the thread you posted is right.Water is good but soda is not healthy.
