Coca-Cola during pregnancy - benefits and harms

Coca-Cola has long become first fashionable and elusive in our country, and then an inexpensive and familiar drink. Few people think about the dangers or benefits of this product. But a pregnant woman has to answer not only for herself, but also for the health of the future baby. Therefore, before eating foods and drinks, it is worthwhile to take an interest in their composition and benefits.

The composition of Coca-Cola is still kept secret by the manufacturer. Three facts are known for certain:

1. The amount of sugar in the drink goes beyond all reasonable limits.
2. It perfectly dissolves table polish within minutes.
3. In the stomach, the drink turns into a plasticine-shaped mass and is hardly removed from the body.

A logical question arises about the benefits of this product for pregnant women. If you still have doubts, then you should pay attention to the well-known ingredients of Coca-Cola.

1. Caffeine. It calls for rapid dehydration of the body and forms addiction to the drink, excites the nervous system and inhibits the cardiovascular system.
2. Artificial Sweeteners. The presence of these substances provokes migraine attacks, ruins the gastrointestinal tract, and upsets the balance of insulin.
3. Phosphoric acid. Its presence literally “flushes out” substances such as zinc, calcium, magnesium, sodium, which are necessary during pregnancy, from the body.

Backstab

From the first days of pregnancy, the body begins an active restructuring of the systems, with each week they begin to work with a higher load. An imbalance is possible even with proper nutrition. And if you regularly drink Coca-Cola and purposefully destroy the fragile balance, then this will not end in anything good. Among the risks caused by the use of a foreign drink can be identified:

• increased tone of the uterus;
• sharp jumps in blood pressure;
• weakening of the functions of the cardiovascular system;
• provoking spasms of the vessels of the brain;
• the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases;
• unpredictable mood swings;
• increased toxicosis attacks.

Is a minute weakness in the health of the mother and the unborn baby worth it? It is surprising that the drink itself is on sale, authorized for import and is actively advertised by the media. But its individual components are prohibited in a number of countries and are included in the list of substances that cause serious harm to human health. The child’s body is very vulnerable to chemical interference, and at the stage of formation, it quickly perceives even a small amount of third-party ingredients. Coca-Cola is not the case when you can talk about the need for a product for the body. Rather, it's time to put up a sign: "Don't come, it's dangerous."

How many works does it cost the body of a pregnant woman to collect, absorb and accumulate the substances necessary for the unborn baby. And often they are not enough for the mother and then the enamel of the teeth begins to thin, the nails and hair break, the skin condition worsens. Against the background of these problems, it becomes an inadmissible luxury to drink drinks like Coca-Cola.

It is worth recalling that the desire to drink a bottle of the coveted liquid causes the presence of stimulants in it, which are similar to additives from cat food. They are also used to increase product sales.

The influence of Coca-Cola on the future baby has not yet been thoroughly studied, but it clearly will not lead to the formation of a healthy body with good immunity. It will take several decades to find out all the side effects. But even then there is no certainty that the documents will be made public, and will not be laid down in the archive with the next mark “Top Secret”.

You can perfectly replace the dubious liquid with cranberry juice, rosehip broth, compotes and jelly from domestic berries and fruits.Vitamin cocktails and freshly squeezed juices will fill the body with energy, give the necessary nourishment with micro and macro elements, useful substances.

No need to risk the most valuable - the health of the unborn child for the sake of Coca-Cola advertising.
