The chances of developing diabetes are also lower. When you stop consuming soft drinks, "there is a stabilization of blood sugar levels", points out the nutritionist.
And speaking of sugar, the appearance of the skin also improves. As Andrea Sampaio explains, "sugar makes collagen stiffer, makes the skin more dehydrated and dull. This can trigger increased oiliness and promote acne".
She also mentions that stopping drinking soft drinks also leads to less fat in the liver.
