Changing your soda for water really

Changing your soda for water really can help you lose weight, a new scientific study finds. While that advice works, there hasn‟t been research to show whether changing your drinking habits alone actually works.
So for the new study, researchers grouped 318 overweight adults into three groups: one that replaced sugary drinks with water; one that was provided with diet drinks; and one that was given weight-loss advice and could make diet changes of their choice. After six months, all three groups lost four or five pounds on average. But the two groups that cut sugary drinks lost at last five percent of their starting weight- 20 percent did, Vs 11 percent of the comparison group.
A five- percent weight loss is considered enough to see health benefits（益处）, said lead researcher Deborah F. Tate, of the University of North Carolina. On average, people in this study lost around two percent of their body weight. That‟s not huge, but it‟s a move in the right direction, the researchers said. After getting used to calorie-free drinks, she said, you can add changes to your eating habits.
The findings, reported in an American magazine, are based on adults who were obviously over-weight, on average, and were cutting down at least 280 calories in drinks each day. The two drink groups were told to replace two of those daily drinks with water or diet drinks. The third group

was given general weight-loss information, but could make their own diet decisions. All three groups had monthly meetings.
After six months, all three groups had a similar average weight loss. However, blood sugar and blood pressure of the water group reduced more than that of the diet drink group. It‟s not clear why that is, Tate said. But, the water group had better hydration(水合作用) levels, which might help explain the improved blood pressure. “ For other health reasons, water might be better than diet drinks,” Tate said.
Some past studies have found that people who regularly drink diet soda actually have a higher diabetes (糖尿病) risk than people who steer clear of sugary drinks. But the reasons for that connection are unknown, and it might not be anything about diet drinks themselves.
Tate said that longer- term follow-up of the people in this study will offer a way to look at that question. It is required that group members of the study had not been drinking diet drinks before the study. So the researchers can find out whether changing to diet has any effects on blood sugar or other health problems.
