"Sugary drinks"

Western lifestyle gave us many facilities and new solutions. Industrial revolution and colonialism brought enrichment of Western Europe and USA at the expense of the third world countries and changed many things of average citizen lifestyle. 

XX century gave us television, mobile phone, internet and car for every average human being not only in rich but also in middle class countries. Life became very easy. Many people gave up with agriculture and started working by internet using other technologies. Our life usually does not require so many physical activity as it once was and food is easily available. It all makes us lazy and even with active lifestyle we're exposed to temptations. 

Logic tells us: when you aren't to activ you don't need so many food everyday. But when you're watching TV, surfing in internet or reading papers adverts about tasty, good food and colorful sweety drinks tempts us every day ... It's not easy to be a child in XXI century with world created on sweet deception especially when you don't know what is good and what is bad yet.

And how about sugary drinks - are they good for children, adults  or anyone ? 

It won't be a suprice when I'll write that I have no good informations for sugary-drinks followers. First of all they contain huge amounts of rafined sugar. This kind of sugar is easily absorbable from food to our bloodsystem and gives energy for us. 

But how it really works ? Sugar has got quite high glycemic index. High IG level means that it cause high peak blood sugar levels, as well as its rapid decline. So we're full of energy and then we're having rapid fall of it. And this is not good for us health at all. Previously people did not use as much sugar as they do now. Often we don't even know how many sugar spoons we ate yesterday. Food industry makes many products with to many sugar and salt with it cause it improves taste of the products. We need water to survive but do we need sugary drinks instead ?

200 ml of water - 0 kcal

200 ml of sugary drink = 60-100 kcal and a lot of sugar

Labels tell us that average person schould eat about 2000 kcal per day. But do we drink only 200 ml of it during day ? It isn't hard to drink 2 liters for average person and it'll give us ~ 900 kcal ... Almost half of day energy level only from substitute of water. Think about it when you will shopping next time. Do you really need them for survive or just for satisfy our desires in visions  created by thousands of companies from the food industry ...
