Are you that religious to follow doctor’s advice?

I was advised by my doctor to have my water intake increased and refrain from carbonated and other sweetened beverages. He relates himself that once a person overcomes his liking to colas, he’d no longer be tempted to drink— not anymore like him. I may not at that stage but I tried my best to avoid it and followed the advice to drink more water to be safe. I know that some of you had already given up this habit. You are lauded for maintaining a healthy lifestyle and making your health better.

It’s very easy to do. I gave up soda years and years ago, and my husband quit almost 4 years ago after drinking it for most of his life.

I never drink sodas because I never liked, but I convinced my husband to give up sodas and he feels a lot better now.

@ZedSmart I am strict with myself, so I try to convince my husband not to drink or eat things that should be dangerous.

Well I have not given up yet on sodas as well but I have already limited my intake of it already. Drastic as it may be, I remember when we were young we drank them like water as it is always included in every meal we have. But now, it is just occasional already.

@ZedSmart I do not know but my cravings for it has lessened already like when we were used to it that we look forward having them in every meal. But now its not as important anymore. I think my body since it is growing old those usual health issues are now showing up despite my lessening of the intake already. But I guess the symptoms might have been delayed since I slowed down already.

With that changes in our body already, we do not the same as we use to be before. Taking them like water as you said will no longer good for us now. At least slowly, we did precautionary measure to avoid or less our intake.

Water is the original drink and the most economical.

We should adhere I guess because they are doing it not for themselves. Although, sometimes we commit violations on that advice.

Hmm. Maybe yes but their experience on the field is somewhat helpful, right?

The doctor is a professional in the field so we should be following the prescription. I admit that I am stubborn when it comes to the prohibitions but we paid for the consultation so we might as well make good use of the doctor with his prescription.
