Stop drinking soda
February 10th, 2008
If you want to do something that’s really good for your health, then you need to stop drinking soda.
I think back to high school and the sports I played and wonder just how much better I could have been had I not drank so much soda and drank more water. I now realize that I was chronically dehydrated growing up, and when you’re dehydrated your strength and endurance is significantly reduced. I was a cross country runner, and while I was the right size to be good at it, I had trouble just making the varsity team. I always tried hard, but not matter what I did I just wasn’t able to make up any ground on the better guys despite training hard.
I now realize that there’s more to being good than just trying hard. What you put into your body is very important, and soda is one of those things that really doesn’t belong there.
