Personal Narrative-Riddance Of Soda

-Putting the soda ban in effect can reduce obesity rates, the amount of sugar being consumed from drinking large sodas is not good for anyone's health. However, banning larger drinks will just make people buy smaller sized drinks allowing them to take in more sugar and calories.

The soda ban is a bad idea because it excludes other sugary drinks that cause obesity and diabetes as often as soda. Diet soda can still cause diabetes even if it doesn’t have calories. Dr. Andrew Weil M.D. states “We’ve known for some time that the more artificially sweetened food and drink we consume, the fatter we get.”

It should be noticed that in the recent few decades, the science developed at an astonishing pace, and the problem of substance abuse cause a huge public concern. Currently, substance abuse has already become a pandemic around the world. It costs individuals substantially, and it of their family as a whole. It is essential for the society to help those people who struggle with drug addiction to get rid of their pain and get back their health and balance life. Therefore, I understand the substance abuse is a tough area, and people who are struggling with addiction really need help. During the course of the interview, I

“I’ll take a large Coke please.” Words I find myself saying way too habitually and way too

I limited myself to three a week rather than drinking a can of soda each day like I was accustomed to. I had a real bad habit of drinking soda for every meal or at any time that I was thirsty. Therefore, I chose to minimize the number of cans I would drink. During this first week, I still experienced the effects of drinking soda such as burping and mild gas problems. I was bothered by often I was releasing gas and having headaches, but I knew it would get better once I got used to not drinking soda it would get better. I knew that this goal would be challenging to accomplish, but I was up for it. I knew if I tried hard to achieve this that I would be setting myself to be a healthier

To sum up, I was amazed how the entire world carries on the same story. Looking at the addiction as the disease has made my life easier. I heard the same story of anger, guilt and love, which I needed to review in my mind. It was very refreshing for me, so I believe that newcomers would feel the same when they find the similarity of their experiences with other

Recently, people have become worried about the health issues associated with consuming sugary drinks, especially soda. The rate of people being diagnosed with type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease has been going up primarily because of beverages with added sugar (Cited in Crawford, 2016). Several studies have found that soda is linked to over 180,000 deaths per year (Cited in Crawford, 2016). An article by the Huffington Post (2011) said that an average American drinks about 44.7 gallons of carbonated beverages a year, which adds up to over 350 pounds of soda. Comparatively, in 2005 an average American drank only 0.5 gallons, making soft drinks the most consumed beverage in America (n/a, 2011). The way the government is trying to fix

It is my honor to nominate Edwin Mantos for the distinguished Chapter officer Award. While our chapter had setbacks in planning, implementing and following through on our original Honors in Action project, Edwin stepped up and took the lead. He worked diligently to implement a 3 series discussion on Addiction the Insidious disease. Edwin is an addict who has been clean for more than 10 years, and holds this topic in high regards. He wanted to bring awareness to the seriousness of drug addiction and provide and outlet for those suffering with this affliction. He set up meetings with counselors, professors, and administration to enlist professionals that could define addiction; inform on its effects on health and families, and provide students

This class has helped me to understand there is more than saying no to alcohol, prescription drugs and non-prescription drugs. By learning specific drugs and their effects on the body, I see how these drugs can turn addiction into a “disease” that will affect people the rest of their life. My son and a girl I coached, had many physical and psychological factors that I now am able to see after taking this class. By reflecting on their personal experience with alcohol and drugs, I am aware of some signs of addiction.

When a person is deciding what to eat and drink, they must always look at how it will affect them, regardless of how good it tastes. Every food is filled with things that are good and bad. Soft drinks are the most consumed beverage in the world today. Unfortunately, soft drinks are extremely toxic. Whether soft drinks satisfy thirst and taste good, this should not be a good enough reason to drink it. We should all do our bodies a favor and stop drinking soda.

Soda banning is one of the uttermost debatable and controversial topics in the country. One of the questions that people are asking is should soda be banned? The soda ban is the best way to go to eradicate obesity in the country. It will lower the risks for diabetes, cancer, and death. If we banned it, we will save people from the ramifications of their health. More importantly, the economy could increase and create numerous jobs for out of work people. However, if the ban does happen diet soda won’t be a part of the ban even though it consists of a dangerous chemical, aspartame. Furthermore, if we banned it, we might be taking away a citizen's right to drink whatever they crave whenever they please. That being the case, the biggest

Connect with Audience: Everyone here has had a soda right? We all have our favorite one, and even though we know that it’s not healthy we drink it anyways.

When it comes to consuming soda/energy drinks, I personally believe the cons heavily outweigh the pros. Everyone has heard about the dangers of consuming soda/energy drinks but many still aren't necessarily convinced that it actually poses a health risk. People will usually say the only concern you should worry about when consuming these types of drinks are the large amounts of calories; little do they know that calories are just one of the many health risks you should stress about. To think soda was ranked lowest among all beverage categories for health and nutritional value says more than enough. A study from Yale University Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity has shown that most Americans understand and acknowledge that high sugar-sweetened

When I began this class I had a very specific experience and understanding of addictions. One of the major influencers in my view of addictions has been my mother. This is something I never fully processed until I began really learning about addictions and what they do to people. I had impressions of addiction which were completely off base, and I had never taken the time to filter my prejudices through the reality of addictive disorders. Nevertheless, this project and this class has had a wonderful effect on my perception of those struggling with addictions.

To achieve overall better health you will need to limit your soda consumption. It is necessary.
