Drinks and overweight

Among our fellow citizens "is alive and well" is a common misconception - blame superfluous weight only food. All around are busy counting calories eaten at lunch meatballs and mashed potatoes, evening home casserole and unhappy chocolate candy, "in the heat of passion" cram into his mouth. At the same drink no one pays attention, because even the "calories" cola seems to us flowers as compared with "pechenyushnymi" sour grapes. And it is absolutely vain, I must say ... 

Who is to blame and what to do? 

One study conducted in Western Europe, were very curious to the point of view the question "who is to blame." It turns out that the emergence of excess weight often is associated not with the food consumed by man, but with drinks. Soda, tea and coffee with sugar and even juice added hundreds of calories to the diet. So much for the extra weight. 

5.10 spoonfuls of sugar in the glass 

Tell me, do you drink tea or coffee with 5-10 spoons of sugar? No, really? Why then are you comfortable with the periodic use (even if on a hot day), soft drinks like Coke? 

According to scientists, the risk of sugary drinks is just that one glass contains a dose of 5-10 (according to various sources, and depending on the drink), a spoonful of sugar. To a man not opened nausea from such amount of sugar in the drinks include orthophosphoric acid, which blocks the vomiting reflex. It received the calories are not tame your hunger - "light calories" do not play a role in the saturation and can not help you satisfied with smaller portions. They are still utilized in the fat on your waist. 

However, note that you will hardly be enough to 200 ml drink - less than an hour will take a half-liter or even liter bottle. Now calculate sugar cubes ... 

Advise never forgetting that we should not at all "mortal sins" to blame Coke (and so she gets from doctors in the first place). All sugar-carbonated beverages foreign and domestic producers inflict the same harm. 

One study conducted by American specialists, revealed the following. If you replace 25% of calories derived in the sugary drinks, on the other, more useful and healthy products, it would give an average reduction in calorie intake at 8 thousand kilocalories per person per year. Naturally, such a reduction would lead to a drop in the risk of obesity, diabetes, cardio-vascular diseases. But this few people think, standing in a shop in front of a refrigerator with sodas ... 

Hot it was cold there? 

There is a huge difference between what drinks - hot or cold - wash down food. If you wash down the food cold drinks, while the stay of food in the stomach is reduced from 4-5 hours to 20 minutes. First, it is a direct path to obesity, because such foods can not be satisfied - the feeling of hunger while back very quickly. Secondly, in the intestines begin putrefactive processes, because the normal process of digestion itself was not. 

Incidentally, the scientists are accused of "McDonald's" in that the strategy of fast food chain has been built on this pattern. In particular, low-cost cola, which was taken as a supplement to meals, "wash away" food, not allowing to make sense of satiety. And people make orders again and again. This coffee and tea in the institution traditionally more expensive. So McDonald's "made a contribution not only to increase their own wealth, but also in the growing problem of obesity is not a nation. Draw conclusions, and never drink food cold drinks - no water, let alone Cola. 

Is it useful juices, as it seems? 

natural juices in our minds has led to what we have to use them, almost without thinking about consequences. Advertising also played a significant role - natural fruit, health benefits and beauty, vitaminchiki ... But in the juice is very high sugar content, so it is unlikely to help you lose weight. 

In addition, squeezing the juice, we we press dietary fiber, which leads to an increase in their caloric content. In addition to the juices provoke a powerful release of insulin, which stimulates the appetite. Well, overeating, in turn, leads all to the same fat folds ... 

So make conclusions - to drink or not drink? .. Especially in winter, when the street, and even in offices, cool. As a result, we drink more tea and coffee, of course, all the time with the sugar. There you have additional calories, which "come" in the winter and "leave" (though not all) in the spring and summer
