Drink Soda - Age Fast and Die Early The Message is Clear.
New research that indicated that statistically, those who drank "two sugar drinks a week" (such as soda, or the many popular varieties of 'speed in a can' so-called 'energy drinks' on the market, you DOUBLED your chances of dieing of pancreatic cancer.
That's a brutal statistic.
Now, more reasons to rediscover how much fun water can be. A paper published in the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology Journal has concluded that the phosphorous balance in our body, which is tipped WAY over the wrong way when we drink soda, or eat phosphate laden junk food, influences the aging process.
These researchers have found that high levels of phosphates accelerate signs of aging, and may also increase the prevalence and severity of age related disorders such as chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular calcification. It is also being implicated in sever muscle spasm and skin atrophy.
Isn't water looking so much more appealing? Add a little wedge of lime... or occasionally have some with bubbles in it. Make it fun, and give your body a chance to age gracefully and maintain it's strength and endurance.
