4 Drinks That Cause Reflux & Cancer
Most
everyone has heard the saying, "You are what you eat."
We
are also what we DRINK.
But
most of us don't think about the effects of what we drink. It's almost as
if since we don't have to "chew" drinks, they don't count.
But
they do...
What
you drink can have a much larger impact on your health than all the
food you eat.
Take
soda -- the number one beverage of choice for millions.
Soda
is SO acidic that it takes 32 8-oz. glasses of water to neutralize the acid
in just 1 12-oz. can of soda.
That's
a LOT of acid, wouldn't you say?
The
acid from the soda throws your stomach into turmoil, which wrecks your
digestion and leads to or worsens ulcers.
Soda
also causes or makes worse acid reflux, GERD, hiatal hernia and gastritis.
"Open
happiness"
with Coke?
It's
more like open misery!
But that's not all
Here's
another dark side of soda that you probably aren't aware of: The acid and
high fructose corn syrup in soda are food for the harmful bacteria in your
gut. This bacteria chow down and multiply like crazy, and can eventually
crowd out your beneficial bacteria.
And
let's not forget the obvious -- (regular) soda is nothing but empty
calories. It packs between 140 - 165 calories in a single 12 oz. can, which
in turn packs the pounds on YOU.
Now
don't even think that diet soda is any better. It's not. It contains
just as much acid as regular soda, and I could write an encyclopedia on the
harmful effects of aspartame. But that's for another day.
Let's
take a look at the other 3 drinks to avoid.
Starbucks-a-holics alert
Now
you may be asking, "What about my cup of joe?"
Well,
tell me...do you ever take antacids -- either OTC or prescription? If so,
and you're a coffee drinker, it's one of the biggest reasons why!
Coffee
is LOADED with acid, being second only to soda in acidity.
It
also acts as a diuretic, which removes fluids from your body (dehydrates) and can constipate you.
Built-up
wastes in your colon from being constipated help to create the perfect
breeding ground for more dangerous bacteria to multiply...and cause diverticulosis/itis.
What about cocktails?
I
know you're probably chewing your nails about this one...
As
far as alcohol goes, moderate alcohol consumption (1-2 glasses, 3-4 times
per week) can be tolerated by your body reasonably well.
Good
news, huh? Whew!
However,
more excessive alcohol use creates a tremendous amount of acid in your
body. Plus, alcohol can reduce your intestines' ability to contract and
move wastes, which can lead to harmful bacteria overgrowth and disease.
So
don't overdo it if you want painless digestion.
All water is not created
equal
Now,
you might be more health conscious and drink lots of water -- good for you.
But keep in mind the kind of water you're drinking.
You see, ordinary tap water
typically contains chlorine...
Lots
of it.
Chlorinated
water not only kills the beneficial bacteria in your gut, but it also
contains carcinogens (cancer causers) called trihalomethanes.
Trihalomethanes
accumulate in the tissues of your body and cause cell mutation (unusual
changes) and hamper immune function.
And
according to the U.S. Council Of Environmental Quality, "Cancer
risk among people drinking chlorinated water is 93% higher than among those
whose water does not contain chlorine."
What will YOU do?
Clearly,
what we drink is of utmost importance.
Limiting
and avoiding soda, coffee, excessive alcohol and chlorinated tap water is
vitally important, especially if you have one or more current health
problems.
But
for many people, this simply isn't going to happen...
These
beverages are not going to be eliminated or reduced -- no way, no how.
Or
even if you do successfully stay away from those drinks, if you've been
indulging in them for quite some time, chances are excellent that you've
got some hefty amounts of harmful bacteria in your gut.
So
in either case, it's important to help counteract the effect of these
beverages and encourage a healthy flora balance in your system.
Otherwise,
you will suffer the consequences. The piper will be paid. It's just a
matter of time.
Super Shield
multi-strain probiotic formula is your ticket to maintaining an optimal
flora balance that acid drinks destroy.
