First of all, we need to find out what is a beverage? Beverages that is, drinks, is for human or livestock drinking liquid, it is after quantitative packaging, for direct drinking or according to a certain proportion of water or brewing drinking, ethanol content (quality component) does not exceed 0.5% of the products, drinks can also be divided into drinks thick slurry or solid form, which serves to quench the thirst, to provide nutrients or refreshing. Beverages are generally categorized into alcoholic beverages and non-alcoholic beverages, which are also known as soft drinks. Here we focus on soft drinks.

Drinks as one of the summer summer magic weapon, the annual consumption of drinks on the estimated more than one hundred billion, can be seen in the people have a lot of love for drinks, most of the drinks on the market are mainly sweet, in order to achieve the taste of a bottle of refreshing flavor of the drinks added sugar far more than you can imagine.

Drinking beverages does not simply lead to obesity. Today, I'm going to give you a little insight into what happens when you use beverages as a source of water intake over the long term!

One, malnutrition

While added sugar can provide the body with energy, it does not contain essential nutrients in itself like proteins, vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, fat and other substances.

Ingesting a large number of calories can easily produce a sense of satiety, and when a person is full, he or she will correspondingly reduce or refuse the intake of other essential nutrients. Long-term imbalance in energy intake, dependence on sweetness, resistance to healthy food, and picky eating can lead to nutritional deficiencies and developmental disorders.

Two, aging

There are a lot of studies proving that often eat sweets, too much sugar in the body, the skin is prone to acne, seborrheic dermatitis, dull skin and other problems, sugar may be combined with proteins to produce glycation end-products (AGEs). If AGEs accumulate too much in the body, the conjugates formed will be deposited under the skin to form discoloration and accelerate human aging.

Three, fat fat

Scientists have found that the brain found a mechanism to detect how much glucose intake in the body, if the brain that glucose is not enough, will stimulate the animal intake of more sugar.

Unknowingly eat a lot of calories, in addition to supplying the body with the energy needed for activity, insulin will be the remaining calories into the fat stored in the body, direct weight gain, and in the long run will cause high blood sugar and the formation of diabetes.

Four, vision

Sugar is acid-producing food, can neutralize the body of calcium, chromium and other alkaline elements. Normal vision depends on calcium and chromium to maintain the elasticity of the eyeballs, calcium, chromium is insufficient, the elasticity of the eyeball wall is reduced, can not maintain normal intraocular pressure, the eye axis elongation, resulting in myopia.

In addition, increased blood glucose will accelerate the degeneration of the eye lens, causing changes in the osmotic pressure of the eye lens and aqueous humor, and increased refraction, which can also lead to myopia.

Five, dental caries

There are indeed many people, especially children have tooth decay, why eating sugar is easy to produce dental caries.

Data from the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2016) show that:

The incidence of dental caries decreases when sugar intake <10% of energy (about 50g), and the incidence of dental caries decreases significantly when added sugar intake <5% of energy (about 25g). Excessive intake of sugar-sweetened beverages can increase the risk of caries and obesity.

Sugar is a weakly acidic food, eat too much sugar so that the teeth and oral acidity increases, to provide good breeding conditions for oral bacteria, and gradually make the surface of the tooth enamel dissolution, the loss of minerals in the teeth. Corrosion of teeth over time will form caries.

A good tooth is also the face value of the plus point, so after eating food best rinse mouth, every morning and evening twice a day to remember to brush your teeth Oh.

Six, chronic disease

Scientists have observed that the average life expectancy of people who eat high-sugar food for a long time is about 20 years shorter than that of people who eat normal food, and a high intake of sugar will trigger cholesterol disorders, easy to suffer from fatty liver disease, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and so on, which is the main reason for the shortening of the life expectancy of human beings and death. The main reason for this is the shortening of the human life span and death.

These are the main reasons for the shortening of life expectancy and deaths of human beings!

seven, osteoporosis

Sugar metabolism in the body needs to consume a variety of vitamins and minerals, therefore, it will neutralize the alkaline substances in the body of calcium, resulting in a lack of calcium in the body leading to osteoporosis, reducing nerve and muscle activity, easy to fracture, scoliosis, child growth and development, not tall, more prominent harm is caused by rickets. is to cause rickets.

Of course, far more than these hazards, many potential hazards may we have not found, we usually focus on a balanced diet, away from disease and healthy life!
