What are the effects of soda on electrolyte balance and hydration status?

Soda, particularly those with high caffeine content, can affect electrolyte balance and hydration status by increasing fluid loss through diuresis. This can lead to imbalances in electrolytes such as sodium and potassium. For optimal hydration and electrolyte balance, it’s better to consume water or beverages with balanced electrolytes and avoid excessive soda intake.
