DANGERS OF DRINKING SUGAR-SWEETENED DRINKS
Specific Purpose: To persuade the audience to avoid consuming too many sweetened drinks to stay a healthier life.
Central Idea: Avoiding sweetened drinks reduces the risk of suffering diseases such as cancer, obesity, and high blood pressure
Introduction
Let’s be honest, my people. Everyone here enjoys taking sweetened soft drinks almost every day. Drinking a cold sweetened beverage on a sunny day feels lovely. Isn’t it? However, we take little time to evaluate the effect of taking too many sweetened drinks in our bodies. Although most of us at least have an idea of the possible dangers of consuming too much sugar, we live in denial and continue doing the same. As a reformed person who has decided to abstain from taking sweetened drinks, today, I want to encourage everyone else to take the challenge. I want to persuade someone to refrain from taking sugary beverages.
Attention
Topic Statement: Taking sugar-sweetened drinks is harmful to your health.
Credibility Statement: For a long time, I have been fascinated by gaining more knowledge about the effects of drinking sugar-sweetened beverages in our daily lives. Luckily, I got the chance to understand everything.
Preview: First, I will discuss the primary reasons why we all need to avoid sugary drinking beverages, then I will recommend the best strategies that we can use to control our craving for these beverages.
(Prevention is always better than cure. The cost of managing cancer, diabetes, and high blood pressure cannot be equaled to the cost of abstaining from drinking sugary beverages. There are worrying statistics across the world that suggest sweetened drinks are more dangerous to our lives than we thought.)
Body
Need
The consumption of sweetened drinks is positively linked with a high risk of developing breast cancer in France (Chazelas et al.).
An average American consumes 320 calories per day instead of a maximum of 100 calories recommended by the American Heart Association (Boston Public Health Commission).
In the United States, children below five years and adolescents are at higher risk of developing sugar-related lifestyle diseases since they consume too many calories than adults (Bleich and Vercammen).
From the study conducted, 100% of the fruit juice positively correlated with overall cancer disease (Chazelas et al.).
The data shows that western states widely consume sweetened drinks, representing a new risk factor for overall cancer disease (Chazelas et al.).
Studies indicate that people are likely to gain excessive weight through taking sweetened drinks than eating sugary solid foods because soft drinks are more tempting thus end up being consumed excessively (Boston Public Health Commission).
According to the American Heart Association, around 25,000 deaths reported every year in the United States are associated with the consumption of sugary drinks (Boston Public Health Commission)
The study reveals that 46.5% and 63.5% of children below five years and adolescents take at least one sugary beverage a day (Bleich and Vercammen). This has led to increased cases of obesity and dental caries among the victims.
Another study revealed that a high intake of sugar-sweetened beverages leads to insulin resistance among children and adolescents, thus an increased number of diabetes cases (Bleich and Vercammen).
(You might be wondering how you can end a day without drinking at least one glass of your favorite soft drink. I had the same challenge, but now I am proud to achieve it. Don’t worry, you can as well choose the path I chose.)
Satisfaction
Luckily, there are a few things we can do to limit our excessive intake of sugar-sweetened beverages.
The combined amount of sugar in various drinks
Make sure you check nutrition labels on the packages of soft drinks before consuming them. Avoid drinking beverages that contain more than 15g in their ingredients (NHS).
If you are addicted to drinking too many sugary drinks, try to substitute by taking flavored water with just a few drops with fruit juice daily (NHS).
The recommended amount of combined intake of total sugary drinks per day should not exceed 150ml
To ultimately win the war against sugar-sweetened beverages, swap out every soft drink for water any time you want to drink something. This helps in reducing weight and keeping the body healthy (American Heart Association).
Have you ever thought of a world without diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity? What if everyone develops health complications while chasing sugar-sweetened beverages? We have a choice to make; either make the world a better place or put our lives to an end.
Visualization
We can decide not to care about what we drink and put our lives in danger.
Similarly, we can choose to observe what we drink or altogether avoid sugar-sweetened beverages and make the world a better place by living a healthy life.
Drinking as much soda as possible in a day as long as one can afford it.
Substituting water with juice fruits in our homes.
Replacing dessert with sweet beverages after every meal.
A recent study revealed that drinking more water and avoiding sugary beverages positively affects human health and longevity. Clean water has trace elements and detoxifies the body, thus leading to a healthy life (Lu and Yuan).
“Drinking high volumes of lime water has a great effect on body metabolism and to some extend has an anti-aging impact on the body” (Lu and Yuan). We have a chance to build a new world of the young, healthy, and energetic population!
(At this point, we are all convinced that we cannot overlook the dangers of drinking sugary beverages. Let everyone remember that healthy life is of great importance and should be given priority. We must take necessary actions towards achieving a healthy world)
Conclusion
We have all witnessed and heard of the dire effects that sugary drinks have on our bodies. Most lifestyle diseases we are suffering from today, such as breast cancer, obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure, can be controlled if we avoid drinking sugar-sweetened beverages. Let us think of a world without these diseases and shun away from calories. Let everyone replace their favorite soft drink with water.
In closing, I humbly urge every person to reduce the volume of sugary drinks they take per day and later substitute them with flavored water. Clear every sugary beverage in your fridge and replace it with clean drinking water. Try as much as possible to avoid keeping soft drinks around you. Together, we can achieve a healthy life!
