We are halfway through the month of July. And the weather continues to warm up. The solution to relax in hot weather is sought in cold drinks. Generally preferred cold drinks are cold coffees with cream and syrup.
They are both a calorie bomb and harmful to your health.
These coffees we drink to feel better. While it provides short-term energy and happiness, it actually harms our health in the long run. While preparing these high-calorie coffees, ingredients such as additives, maltodextrin, glucose syrup, sodium caseinate, acid-regulating salts, fully hydrogenated cotton and palm oil can be added. Maltodextrin is a substance obtained from corn. Glucose syrup is small enough to enter the cell without needing to be digested. And it can be said that it is sugar that mixes with the blood as it is consumed. Frequent and excessive use of glucose syrup in the long term may cause insulin resistance and hypoglycemia. Insulin resistance is a condition that triggers obesity. This situation becomes a vicious circle after a while. And you find yourself saying, 'I don't actually eat anything. Why can't I lose weight? You may find yourself saying, 'It helps if I drink water.' Sodium caseinate and acid-regulating salts may increase blood pressure in the long term. We can say that fully hydrogenated cotton and palm oil are margarine. "Emulsifier" is used to use these two substances. In other words, in addition to being a calorie bomb, ready-made coffees with cream and syrup also have very harmful effects on our health.
Cause of Metabolic Syndrome.
Coffets with cream and syrup are high in fat, They contain sugar, glucose syrup and calories. All these ingredients cause insulin resistance. While insulin resistance brings waist fat and obesity, the risk of hypertension and high cholesterol also increases. These diseases cause each other in a vicious circle. And this condition is called metabolic syndrome. Care should be taken not to drink creamy, syrupy coffees too often and in large quantities. Especially if cold coffees are to be preferred, coffees without cream and syrup should be preferred.
Calorie Bomb.
Coffee is normally a healthy drink. In fact, according to a study, coffee helps older individuals think faster. It is crying and helps increase the ability to remember. Thanks to caffeine, coffee speeds up your metabolism. However, coffees with various substances added have the opposite effect.
