This drink is ruining your bones from the inside out, yet everyone is drinking it.

Teeth in distress: acid attacks

When it comes to smiling, sodas aren’t our enamel’s best friend either.  Phosphoric acid, carbonic acid, sugars…  the cocktail is formidable for teeth. Over time, enamel erodes, cavities set in, and visits to the dentist increase. A simple gesture like drinking through a straw or rinsing your mouth after consumption can limit the damage, but the best thing to do is to reduce the frequency.

And the heart in all this?

We don’t necessarily think about it, but regular soda consumption is also linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular problems. One can a day could be enough to increase blood pressure and  “bad” cholesterol levels . In the long term, this promotes heart problems, even in young people.

What alternatives are there for treating yourself?

The good news is that there are  plenty of  other ways to quench your thirst.  Sparkling mineral waters , especially those rich in calcium, are perfect for keeping the  sparkle  without the drawbacks. Homemade cold herbal teas, fruit-infused water, or even enriched plant-based milks are all drinks that are both tasty and good for your health.
