Is carbon dioxide harmful to the human body?

Carbon dioxide is a gas that we cannot see or touch. It is used by plants during photosynthesis under normal circumstances. Plants inhale carbon dioxide and expel oxygen, which is good for our bodies. However, carbon dioxide is generally not very good for our bodies and may even have certain disadvantages. The beverages we drink contain carbon dioxide gas. Let's take a look at whether carbon dioxide is harmful to the human body.

Some people say that carbonated drinks contain carbon dioxide, which may not be good for the human body. Professor Wang Lixin said that in fact, sufficient amount of carbon dioxide in beverages can have a bactericidal and antibacterial effect, and can also take away heat from the body through evaporation, thereby cooling down the body. However, drinking too much carbonated drinks is not good for the stomach and intestines, and it will also affect digestion. Because a large amount of carbon dioxide not only inhibits the bacteria in the beverage, it also inhibits the beneficial bacteria in the human body, so the digestive system will be damaged. Young people, in particular, like to drink soda and like the stimulation it brings, but if they drink too much at once, the carbon dioxide released can easily cause abdominal bloating, affect appetite, and even cause gastrointestinal dysfunction.

Philosophically, there is a way of thinking that looks at problems in two ways! Everything has its advantages and disadvantages! We cannot look at it from one side! It is indispensable in the growth of crops! The photosynthesis of trees cannot do without it! But it is also a gas that causes the greenhouse effect! We should avoid its shortcomings and promote its strengths in dealing with anything!

Through the above introduction, we know that carbon dioxide is harmful to the human body, but we must also pay attention to the full utilization of carbon dioxide, so that it can play its good side as much as possible and reduce the adverse effects. Especially in normal times, we must also pay attention to our living habits, try to drink less beverages and more water, and physical exercise is also particularly important.
