Today more people are drinking so called "Energy Soda Drinks" that are highly sugared or highly artificially sugared and caffeinated and don't realize they are destroying their future health.
Sacrificing your long term health for a short time energy boost with these "Energy Drinks" is not healthy or smart.
Excessive or daily use of "soda Energy" drinks causes osteoporosis (brittle bones), diabetes, can weaken or destroyed adrenal glands, eroded teeth enamel and dental problems, weakens the immune system and will steal your youth and age long before your time.
Reasons to Avoid Sweetened & Caffeinated Soda Energy Drinks:
1. All most all contain the equivalent of 10 to 20 teaspoons of sugar. Besides being fattening, Sugar and soda are highly acidic, they force calcium and magnesium from your bones and muscles to help neutralize and alkalinize your body from the harmful acid in sodas. This means your bones and teeth are weakened to compensate which leads to osteoporosis (brittle bones) and severe dental problems.
2. Later in life this excess sugar can even lead to heart disease as sugar also creates excess inflammation which is very harmful for the heart and circulatory system.
3. The 10 to 20 teaspoons of sugar per can or bottle also lowers your immune system's ability to fight infections by more than 50% for a period of 4 to 5 hours after sugar consumption which means more colds, illness and infections. A weakened immune system increase your odds for cancer as you age. In addition to gaining weight, Diabetes is also sure to follow within a short time to a few years of excessive sugar intake.
4. Artificial sweeteners have harmful chemicals and toxins that the body was not created to digest or absorb. These toxins are stored in the body and emit harmful byproduct that contribute to lethargy, weakness and lowers the immune system.
NEW STUDIES SHOW THAT EVEN ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS CAN LEAD TO DIABETES AS THE PANCREAS IS TRICKED INTO SENSING SWEETNESS AND CRANKS OUT EXCESSIVE INSULIN WHICH EVENTUALLY LEADS TO DIABETES.
5. Soda Energy drinks also contain a very high amount of phosphorus which causes calcium to be leached from your bones.
6. Caffeine is also highly acidic and caffeine in excess (especially more than one or two cups a day) will deplete the adrenal glands' ability to release beneficial hormones like adrenaline and other important hormones which can lead to adrenal exhaustion, a weakened immune system, constant tiredness and adrenal exhaustion.
THERE ARE MUCH HEALTHIER ALTERNATIVES;
Look for companies that offer a very healthy, Organic and Wholesome natural energy drink called ORGANIC ENERGY. Just one high antioxidant serving provides the body with what it naturally needs to help provide long term lasting. This helps maintain calcium within the bones where it belongs. In addition, ORGANIC ENERGY helps to alkalinze the body's Ph level to make it much less acidic, and all the Green nutrients and organic pomegranate and goji helps to energize and detoxify the body. This helps oxygen and the vitamins, minerals and nutrients to better reach the cells for lasting energy. One serving of Organic Energy provides the antioxidant ORAC equvialent of up to 6 servings of more than 18 different types of Organic and Wholesome Vegetables, Fruits, nutrients, probiotics, fiber and organic protein. This is Real Natural Healthy Energy.
For those who feel as if temporarily they still need an extra caffeine and healthier ginseng boost and want a much better alternative to the disastrous soda type energy drinks, ORGANIC ENERGY even comes with a special version called ORGANIC ENERGY PLUS that has caffeine, ginseng and most importantly extra calcium and magnesium added. It still contains the nutritionally rich 6 servings of Organic and wholesome antioxidants, vegetables, fruits and nutrients described above.
