Staying hydrated is very important. And if, instead of
water, you drink more juice, sodas, sodas, and other flavoured drinks, you
should stop immediately - or at least reduce their consumption. This is only
because these drinks contain calories that can harm the health. Talking about
the same, to explain everything about consuming liquid calories.
"Water calories of almost any kind - alcohol, juice,
soda, energy drinks, sugar water, sports drinks, coffee or tea drinks - are
stealth calories. We don't often think of them as -added to our daily calorie
intake, but they have an effect when consumed regularly, "he wrote the
post, also listing the negative effects of these calories.
Increases blood sugar levels
Calories from liquid sugar can lead to high blood sugar and
insulin resistance. There is a link between high fructose intake and reduced
insulin sensitivity and increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Sugary drinks seem
to increase this chance of providing a large amount of fructose in a short
period of time. When you eat more fructose than your liver can store as
glycogen, the extra fructose is converted into fat. Some of this fat is stored
in your liver, which can lead to inflammation, insulin resistance, and high
blood sugar.
Causes weight gain
Liquid does not provide the same feeling of satiety or
satisfaction as solid food because the body does not "register"
liquid calories in the same way as calories from solid food. This can cause a
person to continue to eat even after consuming a drink with high calories,
which leads to an increase in calories and, therefore, weight gain.
Increases heart risk
Sugar water also has a negative effect on heart health.
High fructose consumption increases the level of triglycerides and other fat
molecules in the blood. These high levels of fat in your blood increase your
risk of heart disease. "Water calories can add up quickly if you're not
careful, so be aware of them. So make smart summer drink choices," he
added. So what can you have?
As per dietician:
* If you want to have your fruit in the form of juice, eat
it in the pulp without adding sugar. * Another way to enjoy fruit in juice form
is to use cold water, where many of the nutrients can be retained.
* Therefore, when it comes to fruits, the best thing to do
is to eat them as they are.
