10 Beauty Blunders Every Woman Has Made!

7. Overlooking Liquid Calories

When it comes to counting calories, you've heard it all. But one thing many of us need to be reminded of from time to time is that calories don't just live in donuts and hamburgers. Many beverages that come with boastful health claims are laden with added sugars and extra calories, too. Too much of these items in your diet can sabotage your weight management. Studies link weight gain and excess sugary beverages, and fruit juices have as much sugar and calories as sweetened soft drinks. To avoid these sources of unwanted calories, check labels for sugar and caloric loads, and aim to drink more water throughout the day. A squeeze of citrus fruit or a sprig of mint can make each sip more interesting and refreshing. Water benefits your body by hydrating cells and flushing out toxins, helping you feel and look healthier.
