8. HYPERTENSION (HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE)
An extended period of blood pressure malfunctioning can cause severe damage to internal organs.
9. HEART DISEASE
As stated earlier, our cardiovascular activities are severely affected by this. People, who consume too much soda, stand at a higher risk of heart attacks. It even causes fluctuations in our basic metabolism.
10. IMPAIRED DIGESTION (GASTROINTESTINAL DISTRESS)
The level of acid in our stomach is important for proper functioning of digestive resources. If they fluctuate, or are obstructed, then the fuel that our body runs by will be hampered.
Soda may be the five absolute worst foods and drinks you can consume. Even though fat has 250 percent more calories than sugar, the food that people get most of their calories from is sugar from corn, or high fructose corn syrup.
According to USDA estimates, the per capita consumption of HFCS was about 40 pounds per year as of 2007, primarily in the form of soft drinks. Tragically, high fructose corn syrup in the form of soda, is now the number one source of calories in the United States.
However, instead of being scared of the harmful effects of soda-intake, you can do something greater: stop yourself. Since you are now completely aware of what soda does to your body, you have the conscious power to stop it from doing severe health damages to your body and wellbeing. Just by removing soda from your diet, you can see a major, healthy change being initiated in your body.
In fact, it has been controversially stated that, the effects of avoiding soft drinks or any other sugary beverage, is even higher than giving up on smoking. This observation has surprised several people, but it does hold true. Try it out yourself!
