Ten(10) Reasons Why You Must Stop Drinking Coke by don9ja4: 1:10pm On Sep 02, 2017
When you take a bottle of coke and get the enthralling refreshment, your body is subjected to many health risks. Researchers, nutritionists, and medical experts have proved that coke is linked to conditions such as obesity, bones damage, cardiac related issues, damage to brain tissues, and addiction. Because of this, you need to stop taking the beverage and substitute it with a more nutritious and healthy drink.

The Reasons Are As Follow:

1. VERY HIGH LEVELS OF SUGAR:
Every Coke you take has about ten teaspoons of equivalent of sugar. When this gets into your body, your system becomes so much stressed to release high levels of insulin for combating the additional sugar. As a result, you will easily develop conditions such as insulin resistance, diabetes, heart diseases, and obesity.

2. COKE CONTAINS A LOT OF PHOSPHORIC ACID:
When excess quantities of phosphoric acid get into the body, calcium uptake is inhibited. This culminates to teeth decay, bone loss, and even osteoporosis. Besides, the acid is a major cause of blockage to normal digestion, hinders nutrients uptake from the gut, causes muscle loss, and kidney issues.

3. HIGH FRUCTOSE CONTENT:
Every bottle of coke you take contains a by-product of corn; high fructose syrup that contains dangerous elements like mercury. In children, high level of mercury is associated with stunted growth and brain deformities. In adults, it can cause cancer, damage to the brain, and cardiac related issues.

4. DRINKING COKE AFFECTS BODY METABOLISM:
Regular consumption of coke compromises the body metabolism. The body finds it difficult to burn excess fat and cutting weight becomes very difficult. Even if you take more hours of exercising, the results will be insignificant.


5. RAISED RISK OF SUFFERING FROM HEART ATTACK:
Researchers indicate that by drinking a coke every day, you raise the chance of suffering from heart attack with over 22%. This level can at times be even higher for people with higher blood sugar as the heart works harder to supply insulin and transport fat for storage.

6. COKES ARE CURRENTLY MADE USING ASPARTAME:
Aspartame is an artificial sweetener adopted as a sugar substitute. However, it has been discovered to be more dangerous compared to sugar. It is highly toxic, causes blurred vision, mood disorders, and seizures.

7. COKE DOES NOT HAVE ANY NUTRITIONAL VALUE:
One fact that you should know is that Coke does not supply any nutrient to your body. Apart from sugar, the drink does not have vitamins, proteins, minerals, or antioxidants.

8. CONSUMING COKE IS HIGHLY ADDICTIVE:
Every time you take a can of coke, dopamine (a neurotransmitter responsible for pleasure) is released and sent to the brain. Human brain keeps looking for every activity that releases dopamine to keep the body in constant pleasure. Over time, you will become fully addicted in the same way that other drugs work in the body.

9. CONTAINS HIGH QUANTITIES OF CARAMEL COLORING:
The caramel color you see in the coke is a major cause of cancer. If you take about 16 micrograms of caramel coloring every day, chances of suffering from cancer are very high. With every bottle of coke contains over 200 micrograms of caramel coloring, the risk of developing cancer is even higher.

10. THE RISK OF INCREASED GUT SIZE:
Taking coke regularly will result in increased size of your waist. After compromising body metabolism, sugar from coke is converted to fat and stored in the waist and other parts of the body. Taking a coke daily can result in about 70% increase in your waistline.

The coke you take everyday is a great threat to your health and personal productivity. Though the taste is refreshing, a lot of time and resources will be used to address resultant health implications. In extreme cases, the impacts could be fatal. Consider taking alternatives that are equally refreshing and nutritious such as sweetened tea, natural brands, or water to stay healthy.
