Some individuals can become so reliant on their morning cup of joe or daily soda break that it poses serious health complications. Coffee and soda both contain caffeine; however, each contains different benefits compared to each other; soda typically provides higher caloric intake with minimal nutritional benefits while coffee offers multiple health advantages for our bodies.

A can of Coke contains 34 milligrams of caffeine while one cup of brewed coffee may contain up to 140 milligrams – although coffee also provides additional health-promoting components which make drinking it beneficial for overall wellbeing.

Unfortunately, many coffee beverages contain so much added sugar and extra ingredients that they may be just as harmful for you than drinking soda. Even those sold at your favorite coffee shop may contain far too much sugar and calories – for instance a 16-ounce can of Starbucks Iced Coffee Drink contains over 200 Calories and 10 Grams of Sugar!

Doctors once advised against too much caffeine intake; now most physicians support moderate caffeine consumption in moderation. Many are unaware that this statement also applies to soda. Some may assume a diet soda contains no calories; however, in reality it contains plenty of harmful ingredients and should not be considered healthy beverage option.

Studies conducted by Action on Sugar have demonstrated that drinking one can of soda per day increases your risk for a first stroke by 22%; two fruit-based drinks daily increase it even further by 37%.

If you’re searching for an unsweetened alternative to soda, unsweetened tea has no calories and many varieties, especially green tea varieties, contain antioxidants that may benefit your health. Plus, adding flavor with infused tea offers an easy and tasty way to add additional nutrition into your daily beverage regimen!

Kombucha has become an increasingly popular beverage in the US. This fermented tea provides your digestive system with beneficial probiotics that may aid its functioning. You can make kombucha at home or buy it premade at the grocery store.

Kombucha can have some drawbacks, including its high sodium content; however, it remains healthier than soda and provides natural energy boost. There are even varieties with no or little caffeine content – an ideal beverage if you want to reduce coffee intake. If plain unsweetened tea or kombucha doesn’t satisfy you enough, adding some stevia extract might do the trick; otherwise there are zero-calorie sparkling waters with added ingredients such as real fruit juice that increase their caloric count but still far less than soda!
