Make water or milk your first choice!
Other healthy alternatives to have in moderation include soda water, tea, coffee,
diet or low calorie soft drinks, diet soda stream and diet or low calorie fruit drinks.
Note: This is the amount of
sugar per 250ml cup, most
serving sizes per bottle /
can are bigger than this
(e.g. 750ml), which means
much more sugar. E.g. a
1.5L bottle of Coke would
have 42 cubes of sugar!!
Did you know it would
take 17 minutes of
jogging, 30 minutes of
walking or 70 minutes of
vacuuming just to burn off
one can (300ml) of Coke?
Adults are recommended
to have no more than 6
teaspoons (or 6 sugar
cubes) each day. With just
one soft drink, you are well
over the limit without even
thinking about food!
No added sugar? Be
cautious of fruit juices
with this claim. These drinks
still contain natural sugars
and may have sugar levels
similar to fizzy drinks.
Don’t undo all of your hard
work — drink water after
exercise.
