1, which is easy to cause obesity.
More and more doctors and scientists believe that drinking more natural fruit juice may be harmful to health. Obesity caused by drinking natural fruit juice is no different from drinking soda such as cola and saccharin alcoholic drinks.
Children who especially like drinking tend to be polarized in physical development: either chubby or particularly thin. Surveys in Hong Kong and the United States show that children who drink a sweetened drink every day increase their risk of obesity by 60%.
In addition, some drinks have diuretic effect. Drinking drinks when you are thirsty can't replenish water, but more is that your body is short of water. It is understood that carbon dioxide in carbonated drinks will affect the digestion and absorption of intestines, cause abdominal distension, affect appetite and even cause gastrointestinal dysfunction.
2, easy to lead to dental caries
Carbonated drinks contain carbonic acid and phosphoric acid, which is very acidic. In addition, the acidic products produced by sugar fermentation in the oral cavity have a strong stimulating and corrosive effect on teeth, which will soften enamel and promote the formation of tooth cavities.
3. Increase the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
Fruit juice contains a lot of fructose. Stanhope, a scientist at the University of California, pointed out that eating a lot of fructose will increase the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, because fructose is more easily converted into fat by the liver than glucose, and it is easier to increase fat accumulation.
4. Affect IQ development
Whether it is a fruit-flavored drink or a low-concentration juice drink, artificial colors will be used-bright colors will allow consumers to associate drinks with fruits in their perception. When the fruit juice content is too small to make the beverage have rich and colorful fruit colors, cheap artificial colors are the best choice.
5, affecting bone development
Carbonated drinks such as soda and cola contain a lot of citric acid. Citric acid can accelerate the excretion of calcium during metabolism and reduce the normal calcium content in blood. The loss of calcium directly affects the healthy development of teenagers' bones.
6. Affect children's appetite
Another problem with drinking too much carbonated drinks is that it affects appetite and digestion and increases the risk of children's growth and malnutrition. Sugary drinks will not only dilute gastric juice, take away children's appetite, but also wash away protein, calcium, iron, zinc and other "nutrients" necessary for growth and development. In the long run, it will affect children's dietary nutrition intake, leading to emaciation, slow growth of height and weight, anemia and other problems.
It turns out that there are so many potential hazards of sweet drinks, so parents must properly control their children's drink quantity, urge their children to drink more water, and form a good habit of drinking regularly and quantitatively. Be sure to drink a glass of water after getting up in the morning. In addition, half an hour before meals, half an hour to two hours after meals, and bedtime are all important drinking time points.
Maybe some parents will ask: My child often drinks, how can I help him quit?
Indeed, children are generally dependent on the sweet and sour taste of drinks. Cultivating children's habit of drinking more water requires a step-by-step process. At the beginning, parents can add a small amount of sweet sugar to the water appropriately, and then gradually reduce the amount of sugar after the children get used to it.
