My friend the soda
Soft drinks don’t only can taste very well but also are usually very nice and even faithful companions to quench the thirst not only of the body but other types of thirst. Among other things, soft drinks produced a special feeling of pleasure when the sweet taste barely wets the palate, which causes the brain to secrete substances such as dopamine, a substance known as the hormone of happiness.
Why do we drink soft drinks and sodas
The drink certainly produce a feeling of elation, that is, inject enthusiasm in no time, you just try a few sips and you can feel something like a "rush" of energy, which is very useful when you are discouraged, depressed, or there are feelings of loneliness. The drink causes one to feel "on", the mere action of taking it's something that makes you feel good. In addition to this, and if that were not enough, this sweet drink indeed behaves very gentle and kind when we are anxious, desperate and do not know exactly what we feel, and then there is, in the refrigerator or in the store close, as a friend always current and trendy, waiting for one to come meet it a few sips, enough, nothing more, until what we want, in this case, to make us feel satiated or even emotionally calm.
Some people do not change soda for nothing. Right. They are right. Until there is something better, why change it? If it offers so many benefits, and also gives quick results, do not ask much. People say, " I have to die of something " "I have some vice or defect of having" And no matter what the reason or reasons you hear about the "bad" your drink is, this is still the vase on the table where we eat. In fact, refreshments is not something that is somewhat "bad or good," however, if you like soft drinks, at least makes this action an act of consciousness, i.e. understand clear what you take, for when someone wants to bother with your argument, you can answer firmly, "I know what I take and what causes to me. Thank you. But I drink my soda. So leave in peace." Then you will not be just someone who takes refreshment unconscious, but someone who takes refreshment conscious. And this changes the whole question, because then you will be friends for a drink that you know exactly what it is. This is especially important if you're a dad or mom and have children.
