On Saturday, health experts encouraged people to avoid sugar-sweetened beverages and drink more plain water during the summer season since sugar-sweetened beverages might cause obesity, fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular disease.
"Soft drinks are bad for your health since they include calories and sugar, which raises the risk of diseases in the summer," health expert Khawaja Rafique advised the public on a private news station.
He noted that soft drinks include a number of harmful substances that have been related to systemic ailments like obesity, type 2 diabetes, renal failure, cirrhosis, and cardiovascular problems, among others.
As we consume more soft drinks, the amount of fructose in our bodies increases, putting pressure on our liver. This fructose then accumulates in the form of fatty cells, which is harmful to our health, he explained, adding that water is always the healthiest beverage option.
They added that drinking adequate water every day is critical to keeping the body operating properly, as the body requires increased water when a person is in a hot climate, physically active, has a fever, or has diarrhoea or vomiting.
He went on to say that drinking plain water is healthy for a variety of reasons, including lubricating joints, preventing kidney damage, and regulating body temperature and blood pressure.
He advised individuals to drink lots of fluids and fresh home-made juices to flush their kidneys, and not to eat or drink poor food and drinks from roadside booths.
"Chat, pakoras, samosas, and other fried foods should be avoided," he said, adding that homemade cuisine should be favoured.
He recommended avoiding sugar-sweetened drinks including fruit juices, vitamin-style water, energy and sports drinks, and instead encouraging your kids to consume fresh fruits and vegetables rather than drinking juice.
