Carbonated Drinks after weight loss surgery - Long Term VSG
What are carbonated drinks?
A carbonated drink is a drink that bubbles and fizzes
with carbon dioxide gas. There is a natural process (Mineral Water) and also
the man-made process (canned mineral water, soft drink or soda).
...But, are they bad?
Many soft drinks contain ingredients that are
themselves sources of concern: caffeine is linked to anxiety and sleep
disruption when consumed in excess, and some critics question the health
effects of added sugars and artificial sweeteners. Sodium benzoate has been
investigated by researchers at University of Sheffield as a possible cause of
DNA damage and hyperactivity. Other substances have negative health effects,
but are present in such small quantities that they are unlikely to pose any
substantial health risk provided that the beverages are consumed only in
moderation.
The consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is
associated with weight and obesity, and changes in consumption can help predict
changes in weight.
The consumption of sugar-sweetened soft drinks can
also be associated with many weight-related diseases, including diabetes,
metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk factors, and elevated blood
pressure.
Now that you know how Soda or soft drinks affect your
health let’s talk about how it also is a bad choice after Weight Loss Surgery...
Due to the gas that this types of drinks have in them they can hurt your
stomach also they create a sensation of fullness (or bloating symptom) which
can prevent you from eating your meal at your planned schedule and makes you
feel uncomfortable, also due to the fact that they have sugar added (even if
they are Light) they can stop the weight loss process and get you into a stall.
So avoid them if you want a better achievement on your weight loss journey.
