Fewer sugary drinks without a dramatic overhaul

2026-10-09 · Health in Action editorial team

Drink choices often happen automatically. A small habit change can be easier than a complete ban.

Put it into practice

If you normally have a sweetened drink with lunch, try water with lemon or unsweetened tea on a few days of the week.

Things to keep in mind

Fruit juice differs from whole fruit in how it is consumed and how filling it is. You do not have to demonise it; consider frequency and portion size.

Your next step

Educational information for adults. Seek individual professional advice for illness, pregnancy, injury or prescribed treatment.
