■Harmful effects of cold drinks
Eating hot cold drinks is not healthy at all. Cold drinks that are usually taken out of the fridge have a temperature of around 5 degrees centigrade. Drinking cold drinks at this temperature actually affects the throat, esophagus and stomach. This multiplies the risk of a viral infection in the throat.

These also reduce the secretion of fat-burning enzymes. The result is obesity. And who doesn't know, being fat means inviting a bunch of diseases in the body.
➤ Most cold drinks contain a variety of chemicals to sweeten them. For example, many cold drinks contain artificial sweeteners called aspartame, which is 200 times sweeter than sugar. The effects of these harmful compounds increase the risk of liver damage and kidney stones. There may also be side effects:
Migraine,
Blurred vision,
Amnesia,
Chest palpitations,
Breathing problems,
Emotional chaos
Loss of reproductive health.
➤ All cold drinks contain a variety of chemical preservatives, such as sodium benzoate (or benzoic acid). These are very harmful to health. Many carbonated cold drinks contain sulfur dioxide, which is toxic to keep the color right. Drinking too much of such drinks can cause a number of symptoms. For example, swelling of the body, chest tightness, skin rashes, shock, fainting, etc.

Most cold drinks have a pH of around 3.2. That is, these drinks are acidic in nature. For this reason, they are very dangerous for teeth and bones. Cold drinks contain phosphoric acid, which is essential for bone loss and kidney damage. And if there is citric acid, tooth decay. Due to its acidic nature, cold drinks also have a detrimental effect on the stomach and digestive system. Playing too much of these can cause gas and acidity problems.
➤ Many cold drinks contain caffeine. Drinking too much of such drinks can create addiction. Excessive caffeine entering the body through cold drinks has a number of harmful effects. Namely, restlessness, nervous weakness, high blood pressure, loss of reproductive health, agitation, insomnia, etc.
Some cold drinks contain excess sugar. Playing too much of these can lead to diabetes. Such cold drinks are also extremely harmful to the heart and liver.
