Your habit of gulping down cans of diet soda may lead to some serious trouble. Just because diet soda doesn’t have calories doesn’t mean it’s good for you.
Your habit of gulping down cans of diet soda may lead to some serious trouble. Just because diet soda doesn’t have calories that doesn’t mean it’s good for you.
While many people have given up sugary drinks in an effort to be healthy, the habit of drinking diet soda is widely popular because of the zero calorie tag. Diet soda contains caffeine and artificial sweeteners such as aspartame which have been linked to various immune and digestive disorders. Aspartame tricks the body to release insulin which sends the body into the fat storage mode. Hence contrary to common belief, diet soda does not aid weight loss. In fact, you might end up gaining more weight!
When you quench your thirst with a can of soda, it dehydrates your body rather than hydration due to the added caffeine. Moreover, the caffeine content in the diet soda increases dopamine levels in your body and causes addiction which creates a downward spiral for your health.
Given the hazardous implications of diet soda, it is best to give it up altogether. When it comes to your health, nothing tops the benefits of drinking water. While its common knowledge that consuming plenty of purified drinking water is essential to maintain good health, the temperature of the water you drink also matters. It has been scientifically proven that drinking hot water is especially beneficial for health. Some of the important benefits of drinking hot water are:
As you can see, just the simple act of drinking hot water can so much good for your health. So, the next time you feel like drinking soda, reach for a glass of hot water instead. If you don’t prefer having plain water, you can always add a dash of lime and honey to give a pleasant flavour. Now you might think, heating up water every time is a hassle. However, you don’t need to waste precious time heating water whenever you are thirsty.
Water purifiers manufacturers such as A.O. Smith, offer a range of hot water purifiers which dispense RO and UV purified hot water instantly. Hence it’s a great idea to invest in such water purifiers so that you and your family have the best water to drink. So what will you choose now, hot water or diet soda?

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
