With more and more soft drink brands entering the
market virtually everyday, one will think they have
lots to offer in terms of health benefits.
Unfortunately they don’t!
To say that soft drinks do more harm than good will
be putting it mildly. The truth is apart from the
immediate feeling they give you, they do not offer
anything good at all.
Here are the top reasons why you should stop taking
soft drinks if you really are care about your health.
1. Soft drinks have no nutritional value
Considering that soft drinks are filled with sugar and
calories, they offer little or nothing in terms of
nutrition. This is because these are two things you
want to actually avoid to stay healthy. Infact, even
diet soft drinks do not offer any nutritional benefit
except that they contain less calories and sugar. If
your goal is rehydration, then plain water can do that
without bringing along the calories and sugar.
2. Soft drinks are a major factor in obesity and
diabetes
A can of coke contains as much as 10 cubes of sugar
and you will need to cycle for 25 minutes to burn
the calories. The sweetener used in most soft drinks
is high-fructose corn syrup. This type of sugar has
been linked to several conditions including obesity
and diabetes. Diet soft drinks can also contribute to
this because the sweetener used in them have been
found to lead to increased appetite and makes it more
difficult to lose weight. People who take one or more
sugary drinks a day have been found to be more
likely to have Type 2 Diabetes than those who don’t.
3. Soft drinks and dentition
Soft drinks are made with carbonated water and this
weakens tooth enamel, leading to the formation of
cavities and tooth decay. The sugar in these drinks
also coats the teeth allowing bacteria to thrive in the
mouth. Studies have shown that soft drinks alone are
responsible for doubling or tripling the cases of tooth
decay.
4. Soft drinks and weakened Bones
Soft drinks can be a factor in cases of osteoporosis
where the bones are weakened. This is especially true
in those who substitute the intake of milk with soft
drinks. Children who consume excessive soft drinks
have also been found to be at a significant risk of
impairment in the calcification of their growing
bones.
5. Metabolic Syndrome
This syndrome combines high blood pressure, high
cholesterol, insulin resistance with obesity. Soft
drinks have unfortunately been found to be a major
risk factor for the development of this syndrome.
6. Dehydration
You may think that soft drinks are good for
rehydration. It is important to note that the
rehydration is short-lived. Many soft drinks contain
significant amounts of caffeine.
Caffeine is a kind of diuretic that causes an increase
in the volume of urine passed. The excess sugar also
causes more water to be lost from your body.
There are several healthy alternative drinks that you
can take instead of soft drinks and they include tea,
natural fruit juice, coffee, low fat milk and plain
water.
