What If We Replaced Daily Drinks With Water

A new study found that drinking a glass of water instead of drinking a glass of beer or soft drinks once a day can reduce your risk of obesity.

What If We Replaced Daily Drinks With Water

The researchers followed nearly 16,000 adults in Spain for about 8 and a half years and none of them had obesity, and during the study 900 people were obese.

The study found that drinking a glass of water instead of drinking a cup of beer reduces the risk of obesity by 20%, and if you drink it instead of soft drinks, the risk decreases to 15%.

For those who replaced beer with water, some had a complete weight loss of 0.7 pounds over 4 years.

The study was unable to find a direct link between cause and effect, but researchers also studied the effect of other factors such as family history, age, and physical activity.

The researchers also found that replacing the rest of the drinks with water had no effect on reducing obesity, and the list included: whole milk and low-fat milk, wine, diet soft drinks, coffee, orange juice, and other juices, as replacing these drinks with water did not have any effect.

The research team was led by Ujue Fresan, from the Institute of Biomedicine in Barcelona.
