Hello Steemit Friends ! Have a nice day.

Today I would like to share with you some Soft drinks problems and its harmful effects on our bodies. Most of us recognize the fact that carbonated soft drinks are not a healthy food. However, you may not be fully aware of the harmful effects of Soft drinks and the damage it causes to our body. And if you do not drink properly, you may be putting unwanted diseases into your body. Even people who drink sugar-free soft drinks (diet drinks) can not avoid it. Both types of soft drinks are detrimental to your health, see below.

1. Soft drinks causes weight gain in all unwanted places on the body.

• If you consume a lot of sugar in the form of carbonated soft drinks, there is a high possibility that it will lead to excess fat on your body. This fat is not fat in the thighs, arms, hips or waist that surrounds the internal organs (liver, kidneys, intestines and stomach), and is closely related to type 2 diabetes and other inflammatory diseases. . Studies show that regular Soft drinks consumption causes more than 100% increase in fat and liver fat - an alarming number if excess liver fat is responsible for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. .
• The most visceral visceral fat is the big belly, and if you notice that your belly is getting bulging, you need to control your absorption as soon as possible. People who consume diet coke (or sugary soft drinks) are no exception.

2. Sweeteners speed up the aging process

• No one wants to be aging naturally. And drinking soft drinks will speed this process.
  All soft drinks - including those for dieters - contain phosphoric acid, which enhances flavor and extends the shelf life by preventing bacteria and mold.
• Excessive phosphoric acid is associated with kidney disease, decreased bone density, osteoporosis, and muscle loss, as it interfere with the absorption of calcium in the body.
• Studies have shown that mice with high phosphate levels died more than 5 weeks earlier than mice with normal levels of phosphate
• Not only will your inner body benefit from quitting drinking soft drinks, reducing sugar levels will make your skin look more youthful. Try this before putting money into the lotion.

3. Effects of Soft drinks on your teeth

• You may get tooth decay and tooth erosion: Frequent drinking of beverages is also linked to tooth enamel erosion and tooth decay due to high sugar content and high acidity. A recent assessment of carbonated drinks and oral health concluded that the low pH of beverages can lead to tooth enamel erosion while high sugar content causes plaque to easily lead to cavities.
• Phosphoric acid is a barrier to calcium absorption and can lead to osteoporosis - also a nightmare for your teeth.
• This acid can lead to tooth decay, tooth decay, tooth decay and gum disease. And remember, this acid is also present in diet soft drinks, so there really is no way out.

• A study published in the Journal of General Dentistry found that the damage caused to teeth by drinking soft drinks is sometimes worse than the harm.

4. Some soft drinks contain high levels of toxicity

• Some types of soda contain high flame retardants. Flame retardants are commonly found on items that, you know, do not want them to ignite. Things like sofa or bed linen. But I bet you do not know that many soft drinks, especially citrus flavored drinks, also contain flame retardants in the form of brominated vegetable oil (BVO).
• BVO is used as a constituent in Soft drinks to prevent odor being separated from drinking water. Unfortunately, this chemical is associated with alarm problems, such as neurological disorders, dementia, and skin lesions.

5. Fresh cans are coated with a plastic that is related to infertility

• You may have heard of epoxy resins bisphenol A - also known as BPA. Fresh cans are often lined with BPA, which acts as a barrier between the metal casing and the beverage. BPA is a synthetic type of estrogen that is involved in diabetes, infertility, and cancer. This is very important, but not all manufacturers of baby formula are committed and printed BPA free on the box. Both Coke and Pepsi are targeting a non-BPA plastic bottle, but they have not yet committed to developing BPA-free aluminum cans. It is best to "glide" until these problems are resolved.

6. Soft drinks does not have any nutritional value

Source

• One reason to give up Soft drinks is to drink it virtually without nutritional benefits! It is simply a can not have any calories that end up hurting you. Even pizza, McDonalds, or other fast food at least contains some good ingredients (I also do not recommend consuming these). I find that a great way to stay healthy is not necessarily to wonder what is not good and avoid it, ask yourself the nutritional benefits you will gain from eating or drinking something. If it does not have any value for you, leave it and, unfortunately, Soft drinks does not pass this test.

7. Sugar in Soft drinks can be addictive

• Anyone who has attended a child's birthday party will feel this.

The stimulation of the release of dopamine, the neurotransmitter in the brain, makes us feel good and excited. This is also the way cocaine habitants work - so it is possible to explain why it is difficult to give up sugar, although we know it is not good.

8. Caramel colorants in Soft drinks contain carcinogens

• If you are a fan of Coca-Cola, Pepsi, or any other cola drink, you'll probably want to put the cans down and read this.
• Brown or caramel color creates a familiar image for soft drink brands that contain two contaminants that cause cancer in animals - 2-methylimidazole and 4-methylimidazole.
• The silly part about this is that the caramel color is used purely for aesthetic purposes and does not affect the taste of cola at all. I think even the most cola fans will be willing to give it up in exchange for reducing the risk of cancer!
• Since then, both Coca-Cola and Pepsi have announced the use of colorless 4-methylimidazole.
• However, Pepsi's testing outside of California has shown that it still contains this chemical at an unsafe level. So what to do for safety here? Keep away!

9. Diets for dieters cause severe brain disorders

Source

• Aspartame, also known as NutraSweet or Equal, is a component of diet soft drinks that is associated with a variety of brain disorders, including epilepsy, multiple sclerosis hard, and brain tumors.
• Many epileptic patients have been advised by the doctor to avoid dietary sweeteners. If you do not have epilepsy, you will not have the "good luck" of experiencing seizures when taking this sweet drink, although sweeteners can cause scary enough to stay away, right?

10. Sugar drinks increase the risk of developing diabetes

Source

• Studies show that drinking one to two sugary drinks a day increases the risk of diabetes by 26%, compared with those taking them once a month. Drinking once a day increases the risk by 15%.
• If diabetes sounds harmless to you, some complications may be of interest to you. Not only is it related to heart disease and vascular disease, nerves, kidneys, eyes, and leg injuries, hearing problems, and Alzheimer's disease, it can even lead to nerve damage in the foot, resulting in infection.

HOW TO DISCONTINUES DRINKING WATER?

If we already know the effect of it, why do not we learn to give it up? Here are some suggestions to get rid of your habit and reduce the risk of negative effects.

• Do not give up immediately. If you are drinking more than one cans per day, it is almost impossible to quit. Instead, cut in half and gradually reduce consumption over a period of 2-4 weeks.
• Change the habit. Is daily walking to the office you have to walk the vending machine automatically? If so, change the route. Trying to look at some cans of water is not practical in the long run but you can still use this strategy to avoid temptation.
• Replace your favorite drink. Try substituting soft drinks with a sugar-free or artificial sweetener. For example, try herbal teas, mineral water squeezed a fresh lemon slice, or a glass of milk to soothe your thirst.
• Find a new reward section. Taking a sip of cool sweet juice can be an attractive bonus that you deserve. With this in mind, even after not drinking, shows that you are addicted. Your new reward can be in the form of an activity, such as chatting with colleagues, walking a short walk, or watching your favorite site in a matter of minutes, which will calm your mind. When I stopped drinking, I made a cup of tea with my colleague for ten minutes and then, my lust for Soft drinks disappeared!
• Follow. It is a good idea to record how much Soft drinks is being taken so that you do not accidentally drink too much. This can also be a good way to discover your weaknesses. For example, I often find Soft drinks after meetings or stressful events. Identifying these situations helped me plan my counterattack to find a healthier alternative.
• Know your goals. Make a date that you will cut Soft drinks and stick to that schedule. May be associated with the plan to reduce your Soft drinks intake, so you do not have to suddenly abstain.
