Are you a fan of soda? Well, you probably know that all the sugary drinks are bad for your shape and, most importantly, your health. Nutritionists advise that a healthier alternative to sugar-flavored soda is club soda.
By replacing one of your daily sodas with club soda, and gradually moving on to excluding sugary soda from your diet completely- or limit it significantly- you will soon find out you will be a healthier version of yourself.
However, club soda is not just for drinking.
Throughout the years, people have come up with innovative ways to use the bubbly drink and today we are bringing them to you!
Read carefully, and make sure you take notes!

Leftover club soda? Don’t pour it in the sink- repurpose it. Did you know that if you water your plants using club soda this will help them grow? For better results, you can repeat this every once a week.
