Top of the day to you all..I hope you are doing well. Today, I will be sharing on how you can break addiction to unhealthy Drinks with focus on Carbonated drinks aka Soft drink/ Mineral.
Unhealthy drinks are drinks that
are produced from chemical compounds. Most people enjoy drinking these products
for different reasons such as the taste, Appeal and Satisfaction they derive
after consuming them. However, the most important questions we need to ask are;
What benefit does my body derive from consuming this drink?
Does it have the ability to cause
harm to my body overtime?
Will it affect my body's
functionality if I consume it excessively?
Does my age have anything to do
with what I consume?
Going forward,answering these
questions will help shape the decision to either continue consuming them and experience the effects or
make efforts to break the addiction and adopt habits that will improve our
well-being.
EFFECTS OF CARBONATED DRINKS.
1)Do you know that carbonated
drinks can drain your body fluids? The Sugar quantity inside a carbonated
drink, needs to be processed in a high level therefore it requires a lot of
body fluids.one would need to drink 8-10 glass of water in order to replace the
loss of body fluids.in a situation where one consumes 'Soft drink' and doesn't drink enough water to replace body
fluids,it has the tendency of making bowel movement difficult and passing hard
stool.
2)INCREASED RISK OF DIABETES.
Consuming sugar sweetened
carbonated drink adds calories to your diet which may increase your risk of
being overweight and obesity..
3)TOOTH DECAY:
Your mouth contains bacteria that
feed on sugar producing chemicals that can break down the hard enamel of your
teeth. A cavity forms when the erosion of the enamel exposes the soft inner
core of your tooth. When you drink carbonated drink,the sugar remains in your
mouth, promoting the process that lead to tooth decay..
The acid in these carbonated
drinks further increase the likelihood of developing cavities because these
chemicals also slowly erode the enamel of your teeth.
4) REDUCED BONE STRENGTH.
Regular consumption of carbonated
drinks may reduce bone strength. The presence of Phosphoric acid, Caffeine and
carbonation in Carbonated drinks may interfere with Calcium absorption which
could affect bone health..
