Jaw Dropping Facts!!



Soda a day may see 20% rise in heart attack risk- TOI

This is an article that appeared in the TOI  and I feel I should put in my views on the same.
This is a topic that brings in curiosity amongst all age groups

"Tempting as it may be due to rising mercury levels but people having fizzy drinks daily are at 20% higher risk of getting heart disease than those who don't, a new study suggests. Also, people who drink diet sodas every day have a 61% higher risk of bursting a blood vessel. What is alarming is that even children, who consume 40-70 ml of soft drinks a day, may put on 3-5 kilos every year"..... AND THE ARTICLE GOES ON

All right!! This is a very controversial topic tough..
This article states that when people consume soda; (it may be any beverage like Coke, thumbs-up, etc.) everyday; there are chances of people getting prone to coronary diseases like heart attack risks, etc.
This is high time that people of all age groups should be aware of all the hazardous problems that they may get prone to. The article also brings to our notice that men are more prone to heart diseases than women.
People who consume more of soda, have greater chances of heart diseases than the ones who don't consume!! If given a chance to yougsters, they would prefer drinking a cold beverage(soda) than water..
This consumption may also lead to many diseases in the young kids.
  This is a very common phenomenon that people ask for a glass of cold drink when they are tired but they don't ask for water!! What must be the reason for this? The reason could possible be; 'the change in the  standard of living of people'!!
This happens with me too!! i would prefer a cold drink rather than plain water..
so this may be the mind set of every teenager who is like me!!
What we all need to do is, reduce the consumption of these soft drinks so that we can live a healthy and hearty life!!
