Soda Alternatives That Won't Hurt Your Teeth

Soda Alternatives That Won't Hurt Your Teeth - Blog - Sparkle Dental - fruit-smoothieMaking Wise Choices In Your Beverages Can Save Your Diet And Your Teeth

Soda tastes great and gives you a small burst of caffeine, but it can lead to serious damage to your teeth over time. Drinking soda is one of the main causes of dental staining, and the sugars in the cola can rot your enamel away. If you want to quench your thirst without hurting your smile, consider these soda alternatives.

Plain Old Water Water might be a little boring to drink, but it is the only drink your body actually needs to survive. If you get used to drinking water instead of soda, you will soon find it to taste just as delicious as the sugary drinks you love. If you want to jazz it up a bit, you can add frozen berries, sliced cucumbers, or any sort of pure fruit juice to your water. You may also add squeeze lemon to it, but try not to go overboard. The acid from the lemon could damage your teeth over time. Vegetable Juice Vegetable juice is healthy to drink, and it has a lot less sugar in it than fruit juice. You can add berries and apples to most vegetable juices to make them taste sweeter, or you can drink them on their own. Ideally, you should get a juicer to make the vegetable juice on your own so you know there are no additives in what you drink. You are getting pure juice and pure nutrients every time. Smoothies Fruit smoothies are becoming the new craze in the dieting world because of their great taste and health benefits. You don't have to go on a diet to drink smoothies though, and you don't have to be a barista to make one at home. Just mix frozen fruit, yogurt, and fruit juice together in a blender and drink away. You can also add chai seeds to your mix to bump up the soluble fiber inside. Green Tea Green tea can be consumed when it's hot or cold, and it tastes great no matter what. Black tea can stain teeth much like soda, but green tea does not have the same effect. Green tea also has a variety of health benefits, like the ability to help you burn fat, gain energy, and think more clearly throughout the day. You couldn't get the same results from that can of Dr. Pepper you plan on drinking with lunch. Consider all of these options when you go to take a sip of your favorite soda, and you may soon be looking for something new to put in your fridge.
