Suitable for patients with hyperacidity and gout.
Soda water refers to water containing sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), and its pH value is weakly alkaline.
For people with excessive gastric acid secretion (frequent acid reflux, heartburn, heartburn), drinking soda water can neutralize gastric acid and relieve indigestion.
For people with gout or hyperuricemia, soda water can promote uric acid excretion and prevent hyperuricemia or gout, so such people are also more suitable to drink soda water.
Patients with gout or hyperuricemia need to limit the intake of high purine foods, such as beer, seafood and broth. At the same time, it is also important to alkalize urine and promote uric acid excretion. Drinking soda can play a role in alkalizing urine.
Ordinary people can also drink soda water after eating a lot of foods with high purine content, which can promote uric acid excretion in the body and prevent gout.
But remind everyone that drinking soda can only temporarily improve the stomach discomfort caused by hyperacidity. If you drink it in large quantities for a long time, it will have adverse effects on your health.
2. Who shouldn't drink soda?
1, people with alkaline constitution should not drink soda water.
People's body fluids are different, some people are acidic, and such people often feel tired. Supplementing alkaline drinks and food is beneficial to health care. For example, some gout patients have too many acidic substances in the blood due to the low acid excretion function of the kidneys, so they should insist on drinking weakly alkaline water. On the contrary, people with alkaline body fluids should not drink alkaline water. It is particularly important to note that most of the offspring with a family history of cancer have alkaline body fluids and low body temperature. Such people should eat more acidic foods every day, such as drinking more Shanxi old vinegar.
2, three high people should not drink soda.
If you are a patient with "three highs" (hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia), you should pay special attention to your drinks besides eating less foods with high fat, sugar and calories. British research found that soda water is related to metabolic syndrome.
Scientists have followed up the diet of 9500 men and women aged 45-64 for 9 years. It was found that these people who drink soda every day have a higher risk of metabolic syndrome than those who don't drink soda. Experts pointed out that the reason for this result may be some chemical reactions caused by soda water, or a large number of unhealthy foods, such as a large number of flour and rice, fried food and red meat, were ingested while drinking soda water. Eating more fruits, vegetables and fish will greatly reduce the risk of illness.
3. What happens when you drink too much soda?
1, or cause alkalosis.
Soda water is weakly alkaline. Drinking soda water for a long time may cause alkalosis, manifested as anorexia, nausea, headache, convulsions and even coma, especially for the elderly and patients with kidney disease.
2. It is easy to cause osteoporosis.
Because the phosphorus content in soft drinks is high, it will accelerate the loss of calcium in the body, just like sodium and caffeine. If you drink a lot of soda water for a long time, it may lead to osteoporosis. At the same time, the phosphorus in soda can also cause some harm to teeth. Tooth loss, periodontal disease and gingivitis are all related to high phosphorus intake, especially from soft drinks.
3, may lead to obesity
Strictly speaking, soda water should refer to drinks without sugar and sugar substitutes, and basically contains no calories. However, there are easily confused soda drinks on the market. Most of these drinks contain a lot of sugar and pigment, which is not only bad, but also may lead to obesity.
