Great Minds Drink Alike


Are you addicted to fizzy drinks? Here's what you need to know what it does to our body.
We grew up hearing that fizzy drinks destroy our health. But the teens today are living on these drinks. According to the UK Cancer Research: "British teens drinks about a bathtub of sugary drinks per year."

 Drinks generally have two main ingredients that have an addictive impact. Let us get a  closer look to examine the contents that make us addicted to it.

High Sugar Content
High sugar content is the key ingredient to get you addicted to it. One simple container of a bubbly beverage like cola containing 12 oz contains 33 grams of added sugar.

 Rats given high dosages of sugar in their diets revealed changes in the brain similar to those produced by cocaine, morphine, and nicotine, according to Bart Hoebel, a neuroscientist from Princeton University in the U.S



The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends the maximum amount of added sugars we should consume in a day are:

Women:  25 grams or 6 teaspoons (i:e 100 calories per day)

Men:  37.5 grams or 9 teaspoons (i:e 150 calories per day)

 Caffeine
Caffeine is the second addictive ingredient in soft drinks. It works as an additional energizer. Gradually you will develop tolerance to a small amount of caffeine consumed, making a need to gulp a higher amount of it to get a similar impact.

Why we should avoid consuming it
These carbonated drinks eat up the calcium of our bones making us weaker from inside and fatter from outside.
These fizzy drinks contain more added sugar than our daily need that results in severe diseases like type 2 diabetes that is the root cause of many other ailments like heart problems, higher cholesterol, amputations, and eye disorders  while consuming too many fizzy drinks can
  • deteriorate our brains by altering the proteins levels that could lead to premature Alzheimers. 
  • high sugary consumptions can lead to liver failure. 
  • speeds up the aging process and weaken the bones.
  • creates cardiovascular diseases.
  • can make us violent and hyperactive.
Still, have a desire to gulp something sweeter try fresh fruit juices, though it also contains fructose, Yet it will be easy to break it down for our body, but that would way much better than added sugars and caffeine that would kill us from inside. Or choose a better option like fresh milk that's easy and safe and enriched with calcium and minerals we lost having liters of drinks.

Benefits of Black Seeds

Nature has already given the solution for every problem before sending it to the earth, Only if we tend to believe its efficacy. There is nothing impossible as its suggests I M POSSIBLE.  Today we are discussing the miraculous benefits of Black Seeds commonly known as Nigella Seeds (Kalonji). Nature has placed antiviral, anti fungal, anti bacterial properties in these tiny seeds.

What wikipedia can't tell you about kindness

The World Needs Kindness and Love as a life saving drugs Yes, you read it right. We as a resident of this mortal world need to spread kindness, humility, love to everyone we interact with because we would never know what a great deal of impact our words might have on someone's soul already going through something tough. But here I am talking about spreading kindness for our own selves. Let things go, detach yourself with years of negativity and torture. Every one of us is going through some rough trials. Since life is not perfect, we can’t be irritating all the time and emitting negative vibrations to other people around us. We don’t realize the mood swings we emit, have a chain effect on others in our surroundings that, however, continues somewhere sometime to someone. But if we confront our life outbreaks as challenges, many of us might happily conquer their fight and also encourage others to regain their kingdom. In our society, we face many types of inadequacy in kindne...
