Sweet water
Drinking soft drinks regularly (only 2 cans/week or more) can harm the heart. In the long run, this habit causes blood sugar and insulin to suddenly increase, causing inflammation and negatively affecting health.
Energy drinks
Energy drinks can help keep you alert immediately but are harmful in the long run. Drinking energy drinks instead of breakfast means the brain does not receive enough sustained energy, leading to poor blood sugar control, rapid exhaustion and impaired brain function. Long-term abuse of energy drinks also puts heavy pressure on the nervous system.
Drinking too much alcohol
Drinking too much alcohol reduces brain volume, especially in the hippo hills - a key area for memory and learning. Alcohol also hinders the absorption of vitamins necessary for brain health, thereby increasing the risk of cognitive decline and early memory loss.
Dietary soft drinks
Although dietary soft drinks do not contain sugar, they have their own potential risks. Artificial sweeteners can affect the intestinal microflora and blood sugar control, thereby affecting brain health. Regular consumption has also been shown to be associated with a higher risk of stroke and memory loss.
