Drinking carbonated water regularly is good or bad for the body

1. Carbonated drink ingredients.

The main ingredients of carbonated drinks include: carbonated water, citric acid and other acidic substances, as well as sugar, spices, some contain caffeine, artificial colors, etc. In addition to sugars, which can replenish the body's energy, aerated "carbonated drinks" contain almost no nutrients.

It is also generally free of vitamins and minerals.

1) Benefits of carbonic acid.

For example, salt soda, which is becoming popular again, used to be a drink that we used to drink when we were children to replenish the salt and water lost by sweating in the summer. From a scientific point of view, it has a better effect than plain water for people who work in high temperatures and sweat too much. When the loss of calcium in sweat per hour is more than 100 mg, it is easy to have cramps in the hands and feet and muscles.

At this time, drinking plain water has no effect, while drinking salt soda can quickly replenish the salt and calcium lost by a lot of sweating and relieve cramps. Moreover, after we exercise or when it is very hot in summer, drinking carbonated drinks will release the heat in our body through hiccups, which will make people feel cool and comfortable!

2) The disadvantages of carbonic acid (often gray).

Easy to cause obesity: carbonated drinks generally contain about 10% sugar, a small bottle of calories can reach 1200 kcal, and regular drinking is easy to make people fat.

Tooth damage: Acids and acidic sugar by-products in soft drinks can soften tooth enamel and promote the formation of tooth cavities. If the enamel is softened, combined with bad habits such as improper brushing and grinding, it can lead to tooth damage.

Affect digestion: Drinking too many carbonated drinks is not only not good for the stomach and intestines, but can also greatly affect digestion. Because a large amount of carbon dioxide inhibits bacteria in beverages, it also has an inhibitory effect on beneficial bacteria in the human body, so the digestive system is damaged.

Causes osteoporosis: Most of the ingredients in carbonated drinks, especially cola, contain phosphoric acid. Usually people don't care, but this phosphoric acid can subtly affect your bones, and drinking carbonated drinks will threaten your bone health.

Kidney stones: Drinking too much caffeinated carbonated beverages can greatly increase the amount of calcium in the urine, making them more susceptible to stone formation. If more caffeine is taken, then the danger is greater.

Magnesium and citrate in the human body can help prevent the formation of kidney stones, but after drinking caffeinated beverages, these are also excreted, which greatly increases the risk of stone disease.

In short, carbonated drinks have both advantages and disadvantages for the human body, we can drink it, but not often!

Definitely not good or ordinary water.
