A member asked:

If you go a few years barely drinking water and only soda, how long should it take for the body to fully recoup and symptoms to fully go away?

Dr. Eric Chevlen answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine - Oncology

Days: Drinking (sugar-rich) soda may contribute to obesity and tooth decay, but should not cause acute symptoms. Many people feel better within days of adopting a well-balanced diet.
