Top 10 Reasons To Consume Water Instead Of Soft Drinks! by AkMaxx(m): 10:48am On Jun 29, 2017
STOP!!!

Read this short write up before you take that soft drink. Its the top 10 reasons to consume water instead of soft drinks.

After one of our previous post talking about the essential reasons of consuming water and the benefit to the body system here we give the top 10 reason to consume water instead of soft drinks.

1 Soft drinks steal water from the body

Soft drinks work very much like a diuretic which takes away more water than it provides to the body. Also, the high levels of sugar in soft drinks steals a considerable amount of water from the body.

However, to replace the water stolen by soft drinks, you need to drink 8-12 glasses of water for every one glass of soft drinks that you consume! Consider the plus and minus (±)



2 Soft Drinks never quench your thirst

Soft Drinks can never quench your thirst. Whenever you re thirsty, soft drinks certainly is not your body’s need to replace water.

Constantly denying your body an adequate amount of water can lead to Chronic Cellular Dehydration (A condition that weakens your body at the cellular level.) This, in turn, can lead to a weakened immune system and a plethora of diseases.

3 elevated levels of phosphates

The elevated levels of phosphates in soft drinks leach vital minerals from your body. Soft Drinks are made with purified water that also leach vital minerals from your body. A severe lack of minerals can lead to Heart Disease (lack of magnesium), Osteoporosis (lack of calcium) and many other diseases. Most vitamins can not perform their function in the body without the presence of minerals.



4 Soft Drinks can remove rust

Soft Drinks can remove rust from a car bumper or other metal surfaces. Imagine what it’s doing to your digestive tract as well as the rest of your body. If you doubt, try it!.



5 The Sugar Crash

The high amounts of sugar in Soft Drinks causes your pancreas to produce an abundance of insulin, which leads to a “sugar crash”. Chronic elevation and depletion of sugar and insulin can lead to diabetes and other imbalance related diseases. This is particularly disruptive to growing children which can lead to life-long health problems.

6 Creates Poor Digestion

Soft Drinks severely interfere with digestion. Caffeine and high amounts of sugar virtually shut down the digestive process. That means your body is essentially taking in NO nutrients from the food you may have just eaten, even that eaten hours earlier.

Soft drinks consumed with french-fries can take WEEKS to digest, there is arguably nothing worse a person can put in their body.



7 Diet soft drinks contain Aspartame

Diet soft drinks contain Aspartame, which has been linked to depression, insomnia, neurological disease and a plethora of other illness. The FDA has received more than 10,000 consumer complaints about Aspartame, that’s 80% of all complaints about food additives.



8 Soft Drinks are EXTREMELY acidic

Soft Drinks are EXTREMELY acidic, so much that they can eat through the liner of an aluminum can and leach aluminum from the can if it sits on the shelf too long. Alzheimer patients who have been autopsied ALL have high levels of aluminum in their brains. Heavy metals in the body can lead to many neurological and other diseases.



9 And More Acidic

Soft Drinks are EXTREMELY acidic: The human body naturally exists at a pH of about 7.0. Soft Drinks have a pH of about 2.5, which means you are putting something into your body that is hundred of thousands of times more acidic that your body is!

Diseases flourish in an acidic environment. Soft Drinks and other acidic food deposit acid waste in the body which accumulates over time in the joints and around the organs.

For example, the Body pH of cancer or arthritis patients are always low. The sicker the person, the lower the Body pH.

10 The Worse thing

Soft Drinks are the WORSE THING you can possibly put in your body. Don’t even think of taking a sip of a Soft Drink when you are sick with a cold, flu or something worse. It will only make it that much harder for your body to fight the illness.



These are few of what soft drinks can cause in your body system. Never deny your body system water nor substitute it with soft drinks whenever it ask for it.



This article is not to dent the image of soft drink companies nor cause any panic to their patronisers, but measures to be taken by the users and to know the appropriate intake and time of consumption.
