Sugary drinks are the number one source of excess calories in our diets, according to the Hawaii Dept. of Health. Drinking them too often can lead to serious health issues like obesity and type 2 diabetes along with oral health problems. Hawaii’s teens are consuming more sugary drinks than any other age group, averaging almost nine per week, which can cause up to 10 lbs. of weight gain in a year. One way you can take action now? Have a glass of water instead of that can of soda or sugary coffies and energy drinks!
