Sugary Beverages
Drinks like soda, sweetened coffee, and energy drinks contribute to obesity, insulin resistance, and high blood sugar levels. A study published in Circulation found that people who consume sugary drinks regularly are 21% more likely to suffer from a stroke than those who avoid them. High sugar intake contributes to obesity and diabetes, both of which increase stroke risk. Excess sugar also promotes inflammation and oxidative stress, damaging blood vessels over time.
