16 Signs You Are Drinking Too Much Soda

16 Signs You Are Drinking Too Much Soda

1. You get sick often
Coke and other caffeinated beverages tend to rob your body of other essential nutrients besides water. The phosphoric acid in coke will wash vitamins, nutrients and water right out of your body about sixty minutes after you drink it. Which is why you should never take vitamins or any medication with a soda.
2. Acne and wrinkles
Everyone knows that smoking ages your skin horribly, but drinking Coke every day affects your skin as much as smoking cigarettes. Drinking soda speeds up the aging of the skin and triggers eczema flare-ups and acne breakouts along with promoting wrinkles.

3. You often have headaches
You may drink Coke or Diet Coke to stimulate your brain, but you are drinking too much of it when you start experiencing headaches or even migraines. The caffeine in soda causes extra stress for the brain. According to a study published in 2009, caffeine affects some receptors in your brain that are linked with migraines.
4. You feel exhausted all the time
Drinking too much soda is misleading to your sense of well-being. In other words, you may feel refreshed and replenished after drinking an ice-cold soda, when in fact you are not. Coke and Diet Coke have no nutrients: no protein, no fiber, no minerals, and no vitamins – only empty calories and sugar.
5. Your teeth are decaying too fast
The sugar and the high acidity of Coke can be major contributors to tooth decay and enamel erosion. When you consider that drinking Coke also robs your body of nutrients like calcium, you can wind up with teeth that are rotting from drinking too much soda every day.
6. Your body shakes
Muscle tremors or muscle shakes are the result of your nervous system being overstimulated by the chemical components in the soda. A drug addict experiences the same symptoms if they withdraw from drug. It can be one big shake throughout your entire body, or it can be sudden leg shakes for no reason.
7. You have lumps in your breast
Regardless of gender, when you consume too much caffeinated soda, your body can develop lumps in your breast. These lumps are often painful but are not cancerous. They are a result of fibrocystic disease which is caused by excessive caffeine intake.

8. You keep forgetting things
Decreased mental health is also associated with drinking too many sodas over a long period of time. Dementia and more specifically Alzheimer’s disease is associated with high blood sugar. So the higher your blood sugar from drinking too much soda, the higher your risk of mental decline in later life.

9. You feel dehydrated
You may think that it’s normal after drinking so much soda to hit the bathroom more often, but it is not. In fact, frequent urination is the result of drinking too much caffeine - which acts as a diuretic to get rid of the essential fluids in your body. So the extra fluids leaving your bladder when you drink too much soda are actually causing you to dehydrate.

10. You have hormonal problems
Bisphenol A, or BPA, has been used to make plastic bottles. It is also used in the linings of soda cans. According to researchers, this chemical can cause hormonal problems and reproductive issues.

11. Trouble sleeping
Getting too much caffeine from drinking sodas will keep you up at night, even when you are tired from not getting enough sleep the night before. Keep in mind, a can of Coke has the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee, so a soda after your dinner may not be a wise choice.

12. You are gaining weight
If you are overweight and can’t lose it, the first thing to cut out is the soda. One can of Coke only has 140 calories, but there are 39 grams of sugar in it – the equivalent of almost 10 teaspoons. Many artificial sweeteners have been proven to actually stimulate the appetite and make you want to eat more junk food.

13. You are anxious all the time
Too much soda can start to make you feel anxious.

14. Kidney Failure
Drinking too much diet soda has been linked to reduced kidney function, and when combined with a diet high in sodium, kidney failure occurs. But what do studies say is too much diet soda? Only two a day over a twenty year period results in an average of 30% reduction in kidney function.

15. Spike in Insulin Levels
Sugary sodas also decrease the sensitivity of your cells to the effects of insulin, which means your pancreas starts making more insulin to remove glucose from your bloodstream. This makes the insulin levels in your blood spike. This condition, known as insulin resistance, can be the first step towards type 2 diabetes and heart disease

16. Addiction to sugar
Sodas may be addictive, and not just the caffeine. This is because you are addicted to sugar as well. The artificial sweeteners in diet drinks are even harder to quit.
