HEY JR,
JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT DRINKING DARK COLORED SODAS CAN AFFECT YOUR KIDNEYS. SO TRY TO DRINK MT. DEW, ORANGE, SPRITES, ETC. AS FAR AS THE WATER GOES, GET THE FLAVOR PACKS THAT YOU PUT INTO THE BOTTLE AND SHAKE. IT WILL TAKE YOU SOME TIME TO GET USED TO THE CHANGES. EVEN IF YOU CHANGE 1 PEPSI OR COKE FOR ANOTHER DRINK 1 TIME PERDAY THAT IS A START. ALSO IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT YOUR BONES , TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT TAKING A CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT, AND DO A DEXASCAN ON YOU TO SEE IF YOU HAVE OSTEOPENIA( BEGINNING OF BONE LOSS) OR OSTEOPOROSIS ( BONE LOSS). GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND KEEP ME POSTED ON HOW YOU ARE DOING.
