Several major disadvantages of drinking beverages

Beverages are drinks that we often drink. Beverages are not only good-looking but also taste good, so beverages are very popular among people. Having a drink on a hot summer day is our favorite thing to do, but we may not know that drinking beverages frequently can bring many harms. Beverages can not only harm our kidneys and stomach, but also damage our teeth and cause diabetes.

1. Drinking too much beverages can cause damage to your kidneys

The kidneys are the most important excretory organs in the human body. Most of the harmful substances produced in the human body are excreted through the kidneys in the form of urine. Beverages often contain large amounts of minerals, additives, pigments, preservatives, etc. These substances enter the human body and cause damage to the kidneys, and also increase the risk of kidney stones.

2. Drinking too much beverages will cause harm to the stomach and intestines

When people drink a lot of beverages, the blood vessels in the gastrointestinal tract will immediately contract when they are exposed to the cold, causing the blood flow to the stomach and intestines, which already have very little blood flow, to become even less, thus causing gastrointestinal dysfunction and even causing symptoms such as stomach cramps, gastritis, and stomach pain. In addition, it can easily cause abdominal distension and diarrhea.

3. Drinks can also cause damage to people’s teeth

The various additives, flavor enhancers and organic acids contained in beverages have a strong corrosive effect on human teeth and will damage the protective layer of tooth enamel on the surface of teeth. If the tooth enamel is damaged, symptoms such as soreness and pain will occur, and pulp disease may also occur.

4. Affect the normal intake of various nutrients

We know that almost all kinds of beverages on the market contain sugar, which will increase blood sugar levels after being ingested by the human body, and then make the human central nervous system feel full. However, this kind of increase in blood sugar levels caused by beverages replacing water will make people feel "full" without eating. In the long run, it will not only affect people's appetite, but also affect the normal intake of various nutrients.

5. Increased risk of diabetes

A survey that tracked 91,249 women for eight years found that those who drank more than one can of sweetened drinks a day had double the risk of developing diabetes compared to those who drank less than one can a month.

6. It can easily lead to childhood obesity

Children who particularly like to drink beverages often show polarization in their physical development: either they are a little fat or very thin.

In the above article, we introduced the harm caused by beverages. Drinking beverages frequently is actually not good for our health. Beverages not only harm our kidneys and stomachs, but also cause diabetes. So we must not drink too many beverages in our daily life.
