Cutting Out Sodas: Weight Loss and Training Video Health Tip 2
Today I’d like to talk to you about soda drinks. You already know they aren’t the best for your health since they have sugars such as high fructose corn syrup which is a syrup that has been chemically altered to be used as a cheap sugar in drinks and foods.
Large corporations will try and convince you to believe that these sugars are no different than sugar we find in fruits and many of you have asked me about this. But when was the last time you met someone who was obese because their diet consisted of eating too much fruit? I bet you can’t right?
Added to that, there has been much research which has shown that HFCS (high fructose corn syrups) can cause diabetic complications, ulcers, and even eye and nerve damage! Pretty scary stuff.
But what about diet drinks? Well, unfortunately not the best news there! New research has shown that artificial sweeteners (such as aspartame & saccharin) leads to a number of physiological responses that lead to over eating. In fact, a study in the Journal of Behavioural Neuroscience has shown that artificial sweeteners conclusively lead to weight gain. One group of rats was given a yogurt with the artificial sweetener saccharin, and another group was given yogurt with regular sugar. The group with the artificial sugar ate more, gained more weight gained more fat, and also had lower core body temperatures which means there was a double whammy with lower metabolism!
As more research is given on this topic of artificial sweeteners I will be writing articles and posting future video tips on this topic. But for now, stay away from pops and diet sodas as much as you can.
Instead, replace with good old water! At first it may be a little challenging for you to adjust to it, I can definitely relate as in my teens drinking soda was a pretty bad habit I picked up. But eventually, as I started drinking more and more water not only did my body adapt to it, but it now craves it.
The benefits are quite impressive, no calories, usually contains some minerals and also reduces dehydration which can as a result prevent headaches. Another great benefit and what I like most is, it helps our body get rid of unwanted waste and even chemicals resulting in a better recovery of your muscles.
But if that hasn’t gotten your attention, if you’re interested in shedding some extra weight, you may also want to consider drinking more water. Water helps metabolize fat and helps the stomach feel full. If you drink more water you will usually eat less because your stomach already feels satisfied.
