About Carbonated Beverages (Drinks)Carbonated drink or soft drinks have been a part of our society for many years now. It has become a billion dollar industry. This industry is not built on the quality of product but the marketing expertise. But do you know why soft drinks are so bad?
Why Are Carbonated Beverages Harmful To Health?For one thing they are full of sugar. Secondly, they are caffeinated and thirdly they are full of protons all of which increase the acidity levels.
On a pH scale they would lie around 3 where 1 is pure acid and 14 being pure alkaline. Think diet drinks are better? No way ,because though they have less sugar they are full of phosphoric acid which is their main ingredient and this ingredient has a pH of 2.5 which is strong enough to dissolve a nail. To make matters worse phosphoric acid leaches calcium from the bones leading to increased risk of osteoporosis. This brings us to the question "Is there a safe soft drink to consume"? The answer is "No"! Soft drinks disturb the delicate acid-alkaline balance in the system and use up all the buffer alkaline reserves that counter acids and increase latent tissue acidosis and this attributes to all sickness and illness. Aren't these enough reasons to harm your health?
What Can You Do?You might ask if this can this be turned around? The answer is - Yes; by supplying the body with alkaline rich foods and drinks. And these are the nutrient dense vegetables and fruits and their juices which are full of life force energy.
So stop consuming harmful acid foods and drinks and eat a diet rich in alkaline foods and drinks and stay healthy. More Health Articles By The Author |
