Diet Soda

It might sound like a good alternative to drinking regular soda that is packed with sugar and preservatives, but diet soda can have other effects that just aren’t good for you either. The elimination of the sugar in the soda comes with the replacement with artificial sweeteners.

These artificial sweeteners have been claimed to increase your risk of cancer and harm your blood sugar and gut health. In addition, they can also lead to early signs of aging, like fine lines and wrinkles. In general, after 40 it is much more beneficial for your health and appearance to drink water over anything else.
