Top 4 Reasons to Quit Unhealthy Sugary Drinks

By Cory

You can’t deny it, and neither can I. We’ve all had a couple of bottles of unhealthy sugary drinks at some point in our lives. It could’ve been at a party or perhaps that one day when you were feeling particularly tired, and you needed something to keep you going.Regardless of your motivation, I really can’t blame you. However, it would be pretty irresponsible not to tell you that these sugary drinks are bad for you. You see, even as a man, your human body is quite delicate. There are limits to the kinds of things that it can handle. Now, a bit of sugar every now and then is fine. But, when you overdo it, you’ll cause more complications for yourself than you should have to deal with. So, if the title didn’t give it away already, we’ll be showing you four reasons you should quit those unhealthy sugary drinks you’ve been taking.
  1. It is largely made up of empty calories
What this means is that sugary drinks do not make you full. You see, what you call hunger is simply your body’s response to the hunger hormone known as ghrelin. Drinks that are made of fructose, a common type of sugar, don’t reduce the production of this hormone. So, when you’re taking soda, unlike smoothies, for example, you’re merely drinking it for the sake of it.
  1. They could give you a pot belly
There is no simpler way to say it than that. Sugary drinks, as the name implies, are high in sugar. Like all other things high in sugar, they can raise up the size of your belly significantly by contributing to the visceral fat created in that area.
  1. You risk getting Type 2 diabetes
This disease is fairly common but nonetheless unpleasant. By taking drinks high in sugar, you’ll increase your level of insulin resistance. When that happens, your chances of developing diabetes are higher.
  1. There is hardly any nutritional value
Usually, when you eat something, you want it to provide nutrients to your body, do you not? You want to be nourished, and even if you don’t have time to prepare one, a balanced diet is always a good idea to you, right? Well, sugary drinks have very little to offer but sugar. With absolutely no fiber, vitamins, or minerals, it’s not hard to see why you should quit unhealthy sugary drinks.
