Since I don’t take alcohol, I consume soft drinks and packaged fruit juice on a daily basis. However, I have been warned that these drinks are not good for my health. Kindly let me now what kinds of drinks I should be taking especially, during social functions.

It is true that soft drinks (carbonated fizzy drinks) are not good for the body. Some nutritionists even call them ‘the worst garbage invented by men’. Even diet sodas have been implicated in heart diseases. Fruit juices are as bad as sodas. All is sugar water plus colourings. They spike your blood sugar high, not good for your heart. Freshly squeezed fruit juices are the best for the body. When not available, you should stick to bottled table water.
