Everything is good in moderation. Just like 1-2 servings of alcohol (1 glass of wine, 1 beer, 1 shot) have been proven in thousands of studies across the world has health benefits like antioxidants and promotes better heart health. As for sodas, they are both good and bad because of the high fructose corn syrup (HFC's) and phosphoric acid.
Pros about soda:
-good quick energy source since sodas are in liquid form (if needed). liquids absorb into the blood stream faster.
-caffeine helps the mind become more alert and relieves minor headaches.
Cons about soda:
-high amounts of phosphorus (phosphoric acid) decrease calcium absorption into your bones.
*side note*: vitamind D (as in milk w/ calcium or Orange Juice w/ vitamind D & calcium) helps the absorption of calcium onto your bones!
-almost all 12oz soda cans are about 120-150 calories, so if you're drinking a 24oz or more ounces than that of soda every day or more than 3,4x a week..you're packing on unwanted calories and damaging your bones even more with every serving of soda you drink.
Personally, I drink soda/diet sodas about 2-3x, not all the time, but most of the time. But I also drink about 7-8lbs of fluids a day and eat pretty healthy throughout the week with MY required servings of carbs/proteins/fats. The multi-vitamin pills and protein shakes help my body too so my kidney's aren't just filled with a lot of phosphoric acid and HFC's from sodas and fruit drinks (not fruit juice..haha)
more health tips later, I'm gonna write on water intake it's importance later..
Have a good everyone!
-MUITO AXE!
