Weight
Gain
Many
people use diet soda as a means of controlling their weight.
The results are quite the opposite. For example, a college
student drank regular sodas in order to complete his studies
and gained weight in the process. After graduation, to reduce
weight, he began drinking eight cans of diet soda per day.
This resulted in caffeine addiction and additional
weight gain.
Caffeine
Caffeine
is most commonly used drug around the world. Caffeine is found
in products such as coffee, soda and medications. Its effect
on the human body range from heightened anxiety, body tension,
induced alertness and stimulates the central nervous system.
Health
Risks
The
overwhelming majority of soda drinkers are under the false
impression that beverages such as soda serve the body in the
same manner as water. This assumption leads to over consumption
and assists in the development of health problems.
The
most common health problems related to caffeine are high blood
pressure and increased heart rate. Beverages containing caffeine
cause the body to become dehydrated because caffeine contains diuretic properties. This
is the number one reason why people drink soda in excess,
because the human body is never satisfied by soda alone. Individuals
in this situation have a tendency to over eat because they
mistake thirst for hunger. The end result being weight gain
and the collection of unwanted fat.
Water
is Best for Weight Control
The
best way to avoid the health problems caused by caffeine is
to drink eight glasses of water a day or half of your body weight in ounces
every day. Multiple studies have shown that people who increase
their water intake over the long haul lose weight. In one
case study, an obese woman lost 42 pounds in 18 months by
following a diet that stressed an increase in water consumption.
