Soft drink, cold drink or energy drink
by whatever name you call it, is neither too soft on health nor it is a energy
booster. It is actually something which can drain the entire human system of
essential nutrients, so completely devoid of energy quotient.
Some
side effects of soft drinks:
It can trigger Asthma, Skin allergies.
It can cause Kidney stones and many Renal
issues.
It can destroy Tooth enamel.
It is associated with elevated risk of
Diabetes and Heart problems.
It is potentially harmful for Endocrine system (can cause thyroid
problems, premature puberty and issues with conceiving).
It causes ‘Obesity’, the biggest menace.
It is associated with increased risk
of Osteoporosis (Bone damage).
These soft drinks which come in
different flavors are very addictive to the taste buds, you get some instant
boost and feeling of well being, but it is temporary, otherwise the entire
metabolism goes haywire after just a glass of soft drinks.
Mother nature has given us so many
beneficial natural drinks for different seasons like ‘Bel sharbat’, ‘Amm Panna’, ‘Lassi’, ‘Kokam Sharbat’ for summers, ‘Kanji’, ‘Saffron and Apricot Milk’ in winters, like wise different
shakes can be prepared as per availability of seasonal fruits. A simple
combination of Honey and lemon in water is a great energy booster.
Why not try these very healthy options
in spite of these soft drinks or canned juices?
In my opinion these products which are
causing much potential harm to the metabolic system and damaging our health should
be completely banned but to the contrary I find youth icons, celebrities
promoting these products. Well nobody can stop them they are earning their
livelihood out of such brand endorsement. But on our part we can work to spread
awareness starting from our own families gradually we can share our concern
with our friends, social circle, readers and so on.
