For health reasons, what’s something you had to give up?

I had to give up soda when I was in my mid-20s.

For the most part, I have given up sugar - or anything with "Added Sugars" which is what most soda has. However, I will drink flavored sparkling water (with added nutrients) or mineral water. For instance, I just had a 500-ml "Sparkling Frost Cherry Limeade" by PurAqua which is an ALDI brand. It's the ALDI clone of "ICE". Just as good, but half the price. $0.55 per bottle.

I've also lowered my saturated fat intake. Only some natural sources like milk or eggs although I'd prefer skim milk but that's hard for me to get due to distance from supermarkets.

Smoking, alcohol, and meat. I pretty much only eat mashed potatoes and soup nowadays. I lost 25kg and went from this

to this

I had to give up eating high saturated fat. For some reason, it causes me a noticeable amount of bad inflammation. I can still eat it ofc, but for best health, I have to make sure that I stay below like 18grams per day. Ideally closer to 13-15.
