What happens in your body 30 minutes after drinking a Coke Sun, heat, dry throat. Your hand closes on tin cans, ice, and studded with small water drops. You rotate the ring of the lid ... " Pshhht ! "Is it the relief. Bubbly liquid flows freely in your throat. Carbon dioxide gets up the nose, makes you cry , but it's so good! And yet ...


Ten minutes later


    The empty bobbin , you have swallowed the equivalent of 7 pieces of sugar! [1] In principle, you should vomit of disgust [2] But the phosphoric acid contained in the soda mask sugar with a sour taste , giving the illusion of drink. [ 3 ]


After about twenty minutes


    Your blood sugar rises sharply , putting once your body to the test. Your pancreas racing, secretes insulin in mass. It is nevertheless vital alone can help transform the huge surplus of sugar you have in your blood fat that your body is better able to withstand. Indeed , it can store fat , of course, in the form of unsightly bulges , but temporarily harmless, while glucose is a deadly poison for him when high dose in the blood. Only the liver is able to store glucose but its capacity is very limited.After forty minutes The large amount of caffeine in Coca is fully absorbed by your body. It dilates your pupils and raises your blood pressure. At the same time , stocks of sugar in your liver saturate , causing the release of sugar into your bloodstream.


After ¾ hour


    Your body starts to produce more dopamine. It is a hormone that stimulates the " pleasure center " in the brain . Note that the same reaction would happen if you take heroin. And this is not the only common point between sugar and drugs. The sugar may also be addictive . So much so that a study showed that sugar was more addictive than cocaine. [4] It is no coincidence that the " addict " who is about to drink his Coca is a febrile addict missing.


After 1 hour


    You enter falling sugar (hypoglycemia) , and your energy levels , both physical and mental, collapses. To prevent this cascade of disasters, the only real solution is to drink water.It is hard to get back to drink water when one is accustomed for years to sugary drinks or at least made ​​( coffee, tea, wine, beer ... ) . It is believed not to be content with the bland taste of water . "I 'm not a green plant ! "; "Water is for foot baths ! " Fun does one say at the table , grabbing the bottle of red wine. In reality , evil is often deeper than a matter of taste. People who are reluctant to drink water are often people who have not really thirsty . And if they do not feel thirsty , it is because , generally , they lack of physical exercise. When you're sweating hard at work or sport, drink several glasses of water is not only a necessity - it's a supreme pleasure . My mom enrolled me considerate with my older brother in a judo club . We were forty urchins in a municipal room of 30 square meters neon-lit and furnished with tatami mats , which was aired by a narrow skylight. After an intense warm-up where we had to jump , run, then do a series of pumps and abs, professor made ​​us bind sockets, standing and ground fighting , before ending (it was the best time !) By great battle "small horses" which is mounted on the back of a friend , it was rush by other ground . At the end of the course, red , blowing , sweaty , we rush to the locker room where there were , over large basins adjacent urinals , taps push which came out of the hot water , but in these times, so tasty ! The awful smell of latrines would prevent any of us to fill the stomach with delight. The impatient applied directly their mouth on tap, while the other , more civilized , formed a cup with their hands and lapped without breath the precious liquid . I dare not think about the amount of mucus and germs that were exchanged on this occasion. Still, I do not remember ever drank best drink water closets of our judo club .


Why stop Coca?


    Think about it. After exercise , you may also want to drink a Coca- Cola or a cold beer , but you realize that it does not give you pleasure as intense as water. Water is the supreme pleasure when you really thirsty, just as when you are hungry during a long walk in the mountains for example, there is nothing like a sausage , which no longer receive once returned home and resumed the usual pace. But there are not that fun. Drinking water will reduce your intake of all harmful substances found in sodas, starting with :

• phosphoric acid , which interferes with the metabolism of calcium , and the cause of osteoporosis and a softening of the bones and teeth ; 
• sugar factor of diabetes , cardiovascular disease, chronic inflammation, osteoarthritis, cancer ;
• Aspartame : there are more than 92 side effects associated with aspartame consumption including brain tumors, epilepsy, emotional fragility , diabetes ;
• caffeine, which causes tremor, insomnia , sore skull , hypertension, demineralization and loss of vitamins .

    Besides the acidity of Coca- Cola is a disaster for teeth. Have you ever noticed how your teeth are raspy after drinking Coca- Cola ? More acidic than lemon juice , it can be used to etch metal parts (make the experience of leaving a dirty piece of 50 cents for half an hour in a glass of Coke ) . The tooth enamel becomes porous , yellowish, grayish often when you drink Coca- Cola and this is the consequence . Needless finally talk about the effects on obesity especially in children , the consumption of soft drinks increases the risk by 60%. There is no good reason to sodas your children to drink , unless you want


• increase their risk of diabetes ; 
• increase their risk of cancer ;
• create their addiction to sugar.

So here's a good source of savings in these difficult times : no longer leave any sweet cross the threshold of your home drink. And learn to drink water : start your day by drinking a large glass of water before breakfast . You will make a wonderful gift to your kidneys , those who work so hard to clean your blood throughout the day. They will be healthier , cleaner and you will feel fitter.
For your health !
