When you go to the restaurant or any cafe, you see people ordering diet soda to skip sugar intake, But does it really help ?
Is diet soda is zero sugar product ? Is it good or bad for your health ?
Lets talk about it :
Diet soda seems like a health-conscious choice when skipping sugar based product. It saves you the 140-plus calories you’d find in a sugary soft drink while still satisfying your urge for something sweet with artificial sweeteners.
But the thing is artificial sweeteners has more intense flavor than real sugar, so by the time passes diet soda damages our sense of naturally sweet foods like fruit. What’s more shocking is that, these sugar like product have same effect on your body as sugar. “Artificial sweeteners trigger insulin, which sends your body into fat storage mode and leads to weight gain.”
Diet soda is calorie-free, but it won’t necessarily help you lose weight. According to many studies,diet soda drinkers had a 70% greater increase in waist circumference compared with non-drinkers.
Those who drink more than two sodas a day experienced a 500% greater increase. The way artificial sweeteners confuse the body may play a part, but another reason might be psychological. It tricks your brains to identify the difference between the real sugar and artificial and you senses are damaged due to this.
Other than that, drinking soda can lead to dehydration because of its high levels of caffeine. Many people will drink soda with a meal instead of water and forget to get their necessary daily intake of water. Which can cause many problems into your metabolism and intestine.
Any kind of sugar you take is not good for your health, especially when its carbonated. Many chemical are mixed and most of them are artificial ingredients, which can cause some serious problems.
So in simple words try to avoid having diet sodas and even non diet sodas. Because it is not good for your health and can damage your lunges, taste sense, liver and intestines.
