Hi all,
There are a few things that still hurt me even though I am trying to
do many things a healthy person would be doing like exercising, eating
healthy, getting fresh air, and drinking plenty of water.
Canned soft drinks like Dr. Pepper and Coca-cola seem to always give
me some kind of problem. It's no wonder though why they do. They
weigh a ridiculous amount for their size. They are basically a small
bit of carbonated water completelely full of ingredients. It appears
that drinking these causes a very concentrated mixture of ingredients
to pass through the body. This causes a lot of weight to be added not
to the body entirely, but to the center of the body, the gut. I'm
guessing this causes a lot of problems for people. Also they contain
almost two full ounces of sugars, and that does not include the other
stuff they put in like corn syrup, ingredients adding color, and
phosphoric acid. This weighs quite a bit more than plain water. Also
with the amount of sugar and caffeine that these contain, our bodies
are tricked into thinking we have energy and are full, not hungry. So
when a person drinks these they basically replace food because we
don't know we are hungry after drinking them.
This sugar problem also extends to most cereals. They load the cereal
up with sugar so it gives the feeling of rejuvenating the body and
giving energy for the day, but this doesn't appear to be what acually
happens. These cereals, a very large majority of all cereal in any
supermarket, has sugar as one of the first few ingredients listed on
the box. So when we go and eat these cereals they appear to make a
large bowl of food, but once they are in the mouth they break down
into fine granular particles and there really isn't that much
substance to them. This is a common characteristic of candy also.
Apparently if we eat these foods we just have to make sure we aren't
tricked by the feeling sugar gives us and eat enough food for our
body. But with soda, these drinks are far heavier than plain water.
Milk is also far heavier than plain water. These don't move through
the body as easily as water does so they cause problems.
Another problem is having something tight around my waist such as
jeans which when sitting down don't give any extra room and push in on
my stomach, elastic waistbands which put pressure on my stomach, and
wearing belts which don't give any extra room ever and usually if i'm
wearing loose pants I have to tighten the belt to the point it is
basically squeezing me which probably makes body processes difficult
and certainly restricts my breathing.
Please post any other factors you know of that causes you problems.
Hopefully we can avoid these. Thank you.
