Just the mere thought of being able to use coke for getting rid of corrosion on your car battery was enough to get me to discontinue drinking it. Now doctors are suggesting it causes muscle damage something called hypokalemia, and no wonder, it’s literally eating out our insides.
People who drink from two to nine liters daily are at the highest risk.
Two of the patients in the study were pregnant women who consumed a total of up to seven liters daily. They were both admitted into the hospital with low potassium levels which stemmed from the cola consumption. One patient was a twenty-one year old pregnant woman who complained of fatigue and continual vomiting.
An electrocardiogram also revealed she had a heart blockage…now, ask yourselves, is drinking coke the best choice rather then say choosing a glass of water of fresh squeezed juice?
When you watch the cola battle adds on television asking whether coke is better then pepsi I think we should all make the right choice and say neither.
Studies suggest we are consuming more soft drinks then ever before without thinking about the consequences. You’re not safe with diet colas either. It was once thought that caffeine products were part of the cause, but in more advanced case studies caffeine showed no ill benefits and actually proved to be healthy is small doses, not to say all the caffeine lovers should lower their consumption drastically. Surely that would cause withdrawl symptoms no one wishes to have.
It is in my own opinion that people care more about what they put in their cars rather then what they put into their bodies, and thanks to more advanced technologies in science we are finding out what is more beneficial to the needs of our bodies, only we need to pay more attention.
I read an article yesterday on the health benefits of certain foods. I was always a huge Kiwi fruit eater as well as pomegranits. For years no one realized the health benefits of those fruits until the studies began to pour out, then of course the prices were raised and the stores and farmers made a steep profit. Same thing with chicken, they find out it’s great for your health then jack the prices way up to make a profit.
I found Kale was on the list not only as a cancer fighter but it prevents cancer from growing in the body. We bought a head of it yesterday at the store and heated it up in a pan with some olive oil and garlic…it was actually delicious….but those are very good odds if you think about it which makes sense to me why some European countries who eat more fruits and veggies live longer then their western counterparts. While we sit scoffing down fatty beef burgers with all the trimmings then sitting in front of the television or computer, they are eating healthy and walking daily. They seem to know the secret to longevity and they’re not sharing…I’d suggest following them and see how far we can age in a more healthful way. Who knows, maybe someday we will all be able to live past 100 and still be as energetic as we were in our twenties.
So on that note, let’s try to think more about what we put in our bodies to remain healthy and happy.
