• A typical soft drink has about 10 teaspoons of sugar in a 12-ounce can.
• Many soft drinks contain caffeine and sodium, but no vitamins or minerals. Caffeine is a diuretic (a substance that causes your body to increase its urine output), so caffeinated beverages are not as hydrating as non-caffeinated drinks.
• All of the liquids you drink count in your daily intake, but water is the only drink that has curative and protective powers for your health. Inadequate water intake has been linked to heart disease, stroke, and diabetes in both men and women. Some ways to increase your intake include:
▶ Drink a glass of water while you’re waiting for your meal to be cooked or served.
▶ Take a filled sports bottle of water with you when you leave home. ▶ Drink at least three glasses of water before lunch time.
• Add a little lemon, lime, orange, or cranberry juice to add flavor to water.
• Drink plain seltzer water or use seltzer to dilute fruit juice.
• Drink tea, hot or iced. Herbal teas can add benefits such as increasing circulation, boosting immunity, and giving energy.
• Drink lemonade, low-fat or nonfat milk, or broth.
• Drink hot chocolate in moderation. Like soft drinks, hot chocolate mixes are loaded with sugar.
• Drink fruit and vegetable juices instead of soft drinks. Dilute fruit juices with water to decrease calories. Always read labels on juices. “100% natural” does not mean “100% juice.” Beverages with fruit can be very misleading. If the label says “juice” it contains 100% fruit and/or vegetable juice. “Juice drinks” must have 10-50% fruit and/or vegetable juice, while fruit flavored drinks don’t contain any fruit or vegetable juice. Keep in mind that juice and juice drinks can have as many calories as soda.
• Diet soda is free of calories, but it can be harmful to your health. Most sodas (including diet sodas) contain phosphorus, which is believed to contribute to osteoporosis.

Much research is being conducted regarding the levels of cholesterol in children and the life-long effects of elevated levels. Evidence thus far indicates that:
• Atherosclerosis (heart disease in which fatty deposits form on the inside of blood vessels), or the beginnings of it, start in childhood.
• Elevated cholesterol levels early in life may play a role in the development of adult atherosclerosis.
• Eating patterns and genetics affect blood cholesterol level and coronary heart disease risk.
LDL (low-density lipoprotein) is the major cholesterol carrier in the blood. It is considered bad, or lethal, because if too much circulates in the blood, it can slowly build up in the walls of the arteries and form plaque, a thick, hard deposit that can cause a heart attack or stroke. In adults, total cholesterol levels of 200 mg/dL or higher are considered high. Cholesterol levels of 240 mg/dL will double the risk of heart disease over a person with under 200 mg/dL.
triglycerides are the chemical form in which fats occur. They come from the food you eat and are made by the body. They are found in your blood plasma. In adults, a level of 200 mg/dL or greater is considered high.
Category total cholesterol(mg/dL)
LDL cholesterol(mg/LDL)

Borderline High 200-239 130-159 150-199
High 240 or higher 160 or higher200-499 (500 or over is considered “very high”)

How can you reduce your LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels?
• Limit your intake of saturated fat.• Limit your average daily cholesterol intake to less than 300 milligrams.• Cut down on calories.• Exercise daily.• Do not smoke.• Eat foods high in Omega 3 fatty acids (salmon, lake trout, herring, albacore tuna)
instead of foods high in saturated fat.
About one-third of blood cholesterol is carried by HDL (high-density lipoprotein). It is considered good, or healthy, because, experts believe, it carries cholesterol plaque away from the arteries to the liver where it is passed from the body.
