Cola Soft Drink (1 Can (12 Fl Oz))

Choose a zero-sugar cola or sparkling water with lime instead of regular cola whenever possible.

If you drink regular cola, have a small serving and avoid refills; sip it slowly rather than drinking it quickly.

Drink it alongside a balanced meal containing protein and fiber, such as plain Greek yogurt with berries or a chickpea salad, rather than on an empty stomach.

Pair the drink with a small handful of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, instead of sweets, chips, or baked goods.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after consuming cola, if this is safe and appropriate for you.

Keep water available and alternate sips of cola with water to reduce the total amount consumed.
