Carbonated Drinks/Beverages are drinks that contain dissolved Carbon dioxide which becomes a gas when it warms to body temperature in your stomach. though its ingredients are safe, but consuming it on a daily basis has its effects which aren't quite pleasing. Carbonated Drinks can be so refreshing especially in this hot weather in Nigeria, where just popping a bottle of Coke or Fanta can give you this refreshed feeling after being under the sun for hours, but taking it every time is hazardous to the system, try taking more of Water. Recently, I have learnt taking Water cleanses your body system and you feel lighter and also helps in weight loss.

EFFECTS OF CARBONATED DRINKS.
- Increased Risk of Obesity: consuming sugar-sweetened carbonated drinks adds more calories to your diet and increases your risk of over-weight and obesity.

- Reduced Bone Strength: For women, consuming carbonated cola drinks, makes the bones weaker. According to a research carried out in, it was found that women who consume regular and diet cola drinks had weaker hipbones than women who don't consume the drinks/beverages.
There are other Side Effects of Consuming Carbonated Drinks, but these are just a few I would like to share, As much as we might not see the effects now, if we wait till it shows it might be too late.
- You can start by taking a Bottle of Water with you every where you go, so that way you when you are thirsty, you have a liquid with you.
- You can also reduce the number of drinks you take per day, by taking 1 less of what you take each day and week and you will do just fine.
- Start taking more of juices instead of drinks, if at all you want to take something sweet.
- Take more of Water and Fruits.
- You could also squeeze the juice out of an orange or lime in your water to make it flavored
I won't say I have completely conquered the addiction of Carbonated Drinks, but I will say I have conquered taking them on Impulse, I take them if they are my very last option for Thirst and can't even finish it all. It all starts with taking a step
And your Body would do just Fine! Research shows that it takes at least two weeks for a new habit to take hold. Try it and let me know what you think about it, and your experience.

OR ARE YOU NOT CONSCIOUS THAT YOUR BODY IS A HOUSE FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT WHICH IS IN YOU, AND WHICH HAS BEEN GIVEN TO YOU BY GOD? AND YOU ARE NOT THE OWNERS OF YOURSELVES. - 1 Corinthians 6:19.
Hey girl!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this post! i actually don't drink soda, much less juice. Sometimes I don't drink at all, which I'm trying to change haha. I've been drinking water non-stop as of late. I hope whoever else reads this will be encouraged to do the same! Great idea to begin a challenge like that. Keep it up!
