Many of us consume diet soda. How many of us really know the fact that consuming diet soda excessively could result in serious health issues in us?
Instead of sugars, diet sodas would have artificial sweeteners like saccharin, aspartame, sucralose etc in them to provide sweetness for us. The bitter fact is that artificial sweeteners could disrupt our body`s natural ability to regulate calorie intake plus alter gut microbiota and impair insulin sensitivity etc.
These are the various ways by which excess intake of diet soda can harm us.
Risk of becoming obese:
We would have increased hunger and more cravings for sugar based foods as the body`s ability to regulate calorie intake would get disrupted in us. This would happen if we drink excess diet soda having artificial sweeteners. As a result of increased cravings for sugary foods we would put on weight in no time. It is good to drink herbal teas, water etc and limit the intake of diet sodas etc.
Risk of getting type 2 diabetes:
It is worthy to note that excess intake of diet soda would alter the gut microbiota and impair insulin sensitivity. By this, we would have more chances of getting type- 2 diabetes in us. It would be good to consume whole foods instead of diet sodas etc.
Risk of getting kidney issues:
Our kidneys would get stressed and this would lower the kidney functions. It is good to stay hydrated by regular intake of water and avoiding diet sodas completely for the sake of kidney health.
Risk of getting heart issues:
There exists a link between intake of artificial sweeteners and increased chances of getting cardiovascular diseases in us. Point is that we could opt for green tea or lemon water etc instead of drinking diet soda.
Risk of getting bone issues:
Calcium absorption would get interfered due to the presence of phosphoric acid present in the diet soda etc. This would make the bones weak and we would have more chances of getting an osteoporosis issue. To avoid this, we must avoid excess intake of diet soda and consume calcium rich foods.
Risk of getting dental issues:
Our tooth enamel would get eroded and we could get cavities and other dental issues when we drink diet soda in excess quantities. It is essential to rinse the mouth with water after consuming diet soda.
Risk of getting metabolic syndrome:
When we consume artificial sweeteners in excess, then there are more chances of getting metabolic syndrome in us. Metabolic syndrome refers to issues like blood pressure, high blood sugar level and high cholesterol levels etc.
Risk of getting digestive issues:
In some persons, artificial sweeteners present in diet soda would lead to GI problems like gas, bloating, diarrhoea etc. It would be good to opt for beverages that are free from artificial sweeteners.
Risk of getting mood disorders:
It has been brought to light by some research studies that there exists a relation between artificial sweeteners and mood disorders like depression anxiety etc. So, please take care.

Just like how we must give importance regarding eating breakfast every day without fail, we must also give importance for dinner and avoid making mistakes during dinner!!
This dinner assumes huge significance especially for those who are diabetic. Making right food choices is essential for the diabetic persons. Bitter fact is that eating certain foods and beverages etc could lead to a spike in the levels of blood sugars. Not many of us would know which food would be good and which food would not be good for the health condition in us. This would make us eat foods that we mustn`t eat at all.
Diabetic persons must keep a note of these mistakes and avoid them during their dinners.
Not having a set time for dinner:
There are many people with diabetes who eat food at different times. One day, they eat their dinner at 7pm and the next day they eat their dinner at 9pm etc. This must be avoided completely. In this current scenario, it is very tough to maintain a set time for dinner. Point is that diabetics must try to reduce the time gap as much as possible. So, please take care.
Overeating carbohydrates based dinner:
There exists a bad reputation that carbohydrates are unhealthy to consume, but actually they are not. Those with diabetic conditions must be mindful of what they consume and on the type of carbs they consume. It is good to consume complex carbs instead of simple carbs. Point is that complex carbohydrates would have less effect on the blood sugars. It would be good to eat options like oats, brown rice, millets etc
Not including fibre in diet:
The most common mistake that the majority of us make during dinner is not eating enough fibre based foods. Po9int is that we must try to eat adequate amounts of fibres, proteins and carbs for dinner. For the sake of optimal health, those with diabetes must eat a well balanced dinner. When diabetics eat high fibre dinner, then their blood sugar levels would get controlled well. In addition, eating high fibre dinner would keep us full for a long duration. This would prevent us from eating unnecessarily.
Choosing unhealthy accompaniments:
Those with diabetic conditions must be mindful regarding the type of accompaniments they pair with their dinner. Truth is that avoid tomato ketchups, sweet chutneys etc. Never eat raiita by adding sugar to it. It would be better to eat homemadade chutneys.
Not exercising portion control:
There are many who eat excessive amounts of food during dinner and this must be avoided without fail. Not only eating healthy foods is important but exercising portion control over food is also important. Otherwise the blood sugar levels would spike. Please take care.

How will you react if you come to know that fever is actually good for us? Surprised right!!
Normally, when we have fever we would feel dull and uncomfortable. Truth is that fever increases our body`s defence mechanisms. Information is that low spectrum fever in the range between 99.1 degrees Fahrenheit to 102 degrees Fahrenheit would be good for us.
Various reasons why fever could be beneficial for us are
More production of WBC or white blood cells:
Our body would ramp up the production of white blood cells or WBC when we have fever. Point is that these WBCs attack pathogens like bacteria and viruses etc. It has been revealed that increased body temperature would stimulate bone marrow to produce more WBCs in us. This would increase the body`s ability to fight infections well. When there is more production of white blood cells in us, then we would have increased immunity and reduced severity of the illness.
Growth of bacteria and virus slow down:
When we have fever, a less favourable environment would be created in us for the bacteria and virus to grow. Our body temperature of 37 degrees Celsius is mostly preferred by many pathogens. The replication of these microorganisms would get slowed down due to increase in the body temperature. Our immune system would get more time to mount an effective defence when the growth of certain pathogens etc gets slowed down.
Enhancement in the antiviral and antibacterial activity:
The activity of certain immune cells would get enhanced when we have higher temperatures in us. The production of cytokines or proteins would be possible when we have fever. These proteins would regulate our immune responses. The activity of antiviral and antibacterial molecules inside the body would get increased by cytokines.
Cellular repair process would get better:
It is worthy to note that fever might also start cellular repair processes in us. Heat shock proteins would get stimulated when we have fever or higher temperatures and this would protect cells from stress. Damaged proteins would get repaired. It was brought to light by a research study that fever would ensure that the cells damaged by the infection would get repaired more effectively. By this, there would be speedy recovery from the fever.
Detoxification process:
The metabolic rate of the body would increase when we have fever. It must be taken into account that this metabolism boost would help in the detoxification process. There would be increased perspiration and toxins excretion etc due to higher metabolic rates. It has been revealed by research that sweating would eliminate certain toxins from the body. Point is that sweat due to fever would flush out harmful toxins from the body. This would improve our overall health.
Enhancement in immune memory:
For the long term protection against pathogens, our body`s immune memory must be enhanced and fever does this. It must be noted that immune memory is the ability of the immune system to remember previous encounters with specific pathogens and respond more effectively and speedily upon subsequent exposures. The important piece of information is that when we get fever then our immune system would be better prepared to defend against future infections. This would be due to the fact that the higher temperatures during fever would improve the formation of immune memory cells like T cells and B cells in us.
