Hi Katherine.
Thank you for this tip! I do love soft drinks, and tend to choose sugar-free options. But good to know.
Best wishes.

HI Katherine
Glad you have found reducing diet soda to help reduce you anxiety. I am not sure if this is a proven link or not (would have to look into journal articles) however it is still good that it has helped yourself 🙂 I find having too much diet soda causes me to feel more meh, so I have tried other things such as cold tea (just a normal fruity tea bag in cold water, no added sugar) and electrolyte drinks(note am a runner, and only have on running days) help me drink more and stay hydrated compared to diet soda which I could drink a lot of but still not be hydrated. I still drink sugar free soft drinks, however I have reduced it substantially. I find moderation is key. I am glad you have gotten advice that has helped you and thanks for sharing 🙂
