Soft drinks can kill your sex life
Shirley came on a date last week. I gave her a tour of the office and the first thing she asked me was, “Doctor, is there anything you can do for my back pain?” When we sat down, I asked how her energy was. Sleep well? How is your appetite and digestion? Where is the bread? How long has it been going on and so on?
He told me that he suffered from osteoporosis. That’s a disease where bones become brittle and more likely to break, usually in the hip, spine, and wrist. It can affect a person’s ability to walk and can cause prolonged or permanent disability or even death.
He said that he lost two inches in height over the years due to his illness and that he had no idea why this was happening. I continued to ask her questions about her health and lifestyle.
Do you ever drink soft drinks? She replied: “Yes, I do!” Six to eight cans a day, but only diet soda. I always watch my weight. I immediately knew what was taking all the calcium out of his bones. If you think you’re doing yourself a favor by drinking diet soda instead of the real thing, think again. You may be protecting your waistline, but you’re hitting your kidneys.
In Chinese medicine, the main physiological functions and indicators of the kidneys are:
• Vitality
• Sexual power and libido
• Growth and development
• Metabolic control
• Qi reception
• Bone marrow production
• Brain function
• Blood manufacturing
• Hair shine
• Listening
That’s a bit you don’t want to mess up. If you’re drinking two or more diet sodas a day, that’s going to cause a significant drop in your kidneys and age you faster, causing your sexual energy to wane.
However, this does not mean that your kidneys are safe if you choose regular soda. Studies show that if you drink a few cans of “regular” soda a day, you’re twice as likely to experience early signs of kidney disease.
I suspect it has to do with eating large amounts of high fructose corn syrup. I suggested that he stop drinking soda altogether. She said, “I could never do that. I’m addicted.” Many of us have habits and addictions that are not good for us, but there is a way to change those little nasty habits.
First, start an exercise program, eliminate fried foods from your diet, eat at least three servings of fruits and vegetables a day, drink plenty of 6-8 ounces of water, smile every day, and make sure your self-talk is positive. . Always have at least one meal a day with a friend, this will be a good start and you will soon be back on track.
I wish you the best in health, wealth and happiness.
