A Drink Swap That Changes Your Added Sugar Intake
Health & Nutrition
Replacing a sugary drink with plain water removes the sugar and calories that drink would otherwise provide. The CDC suggests choosing water over sugary drinks as one way to support everyday hydration.
Start with a drink you buy regularly and check its serving size and added sugar on the label. If the bottle contains more than one serving, account for the amount you actually drink.
For variety, try chilled water or add a washed lemon or lime wedge. Choose an option you enjoy enough to keep in your routine. Water is one part of your overall diet, and the effect of a change depends on what and how much you replace.
