Specialist Dietitian Işın Sayın stated that soda and mineral waters do not help digestion and said, “There is not the slightest enzyme in soda and mineral waters that helps digestion. "It provides completely mechanical relief," he said.
Most people resort to soda or mineral water after a meal and try to digest the overeaten meal by drinking these drinks. However, neither of them contains the slightest enzyme that helps digestion. Therefore, drinking soda or mineral water after a meal can increase blood pressure. You may come across it frequently, most of them mention “soda/mineral water”. They are thought to aid digestion. However, it does not contain the slightest enzyme that helps digestion. It provides completely mechanical relief. How Does? We swallow air due to fast eating. With the extra gas entering from mineral water and soda, the air trapped in the stomach comes out more easily. We experience false relief. “The feeling of tension due to gas in the stomach decreases as gas comes out of the stomach,” he said.
“You think you are relieved, but you are inviting payment.”
“Soda is a processed product. Işın Sayın said that mineral water is an unprocessed natural product and both contain compounds such as "mineral salts, sulfate, bicarbonate" and added: "These compounds cause water retention in the intercellular space, causing edema and can increase blood pressure. "Soda or mineral water can be given to those whose blood pressure drops in the summer," he said.
"Edema is an undesirable condition in weight loss programs," said Sayın, adding, "Due to edema, you cannot see the net fat loss of that week on the scale. Frequent use of mineral water and edema indirectly slow down lipolysis (fat burning) in the liver. Because: Along with edema, toxic substances accumulate in the body. The liver desperately focuses on detox and fat burning has naturally slowed down. Instead of sticking to soda and mineral water to facilitate digestion, eat without overloading your meals. Do not mess with the body's water balance. This is important for homeostasis (balanced/healthy functioning within the body). Regular need every day Consume as much water as you can (e.g. 2 liters for a petite individual, 3 liters for a large-bodied individual). Stay away from soda / mineral water / mineral salt supplements that retain excessive water, and get minerals through food. Learn the factors that cause excessive water discharge in full detail, and consume these foods very rarely. A semi-flexible nutrition program with caloric value and content planned specifically for you; is feasible and sustainable. "Get help from your nutritionists so that your nutrition program can be completely suitable and semi-flexible for you," he said.
