It used to be that there was nothing I loved more than a refreshing can of Diet Coke on a hot summer day. Now, I would never touch the can of chemicals. If you haven’t given up soda yet, this might convince you: A 2007 study funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute found that one daily soft drink (diet OR regular) is associated with:

1. 48 percent increased risk of metabolic syndrome, a key predecessor of heart disease and diabetes
2. 31 percent  greater risk of becoming obese
3. 30 percent higher risk of having a larger waist line
4. 25 percent higher risk of developing high blood triglycerides or high blood sugar
5. 32 percent greater risk of having low levels of good cholesterol
6. A trend toward an increased risk of high blood pressure.

And  here are 10 Tasty Drinks To Kick The Soda Habit for Get Good Nutrition as follow:

If you want something fizzy…

1. Club soda with a twist: Add a splash of juice, lemon or lime.
2. Agua Fresca: Puree about 3 cups of watermelon (or cantaloupe, strawberries or mango) and strain the pulp. In a pitcher mix the strained fruit puree with 1.5 cups of water, the juice of 2-3 limes and stevia to taste.
3. Kombucha: This fermented drink is a great, naturally fizzy alternative to soda. You can find it in health food stores, and it comes in many flavors. It contains good bacteria that can help your digestion, instead of harmful chemicals.
4. Virgin Mojito: Mix club soda with lime, mint and stevia to sweeten. Enjoy over ice.
5. Sparkling Mineral Water: San Pellegrino or Mountain Valley Spring Water is another refreshing choice when you want something bubbly.

If you want something refreshing…

1. Coconut Water: This liquid that comes from young coconuts is great for replacing electrolytes on hot summer days.
2. Green Juice: Have a green juice over ice for a refreshing snack. This Mojito Green Juice recipe has lime and ginger for a nice tangy kick.
3. Homemade Lemonade: Mix the fresh lemon juice, water, and honey. Or, herbal iced tea is great too!

If you want something sweet…

1. Protein Shake: A protein shake can be a small meal and a refreshing drink, all in one. I love a Sustain shake spun through the blender with some almond milk, ice and cinnamon.
2. Almond Milk Horchata: Here’s a simple recipe for Paleo Horchata that uses almond milk, raw honey, cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg. I recommend using less honey than what the recipe calls for.
