SODA WATER: DRINKING WITH CAUTION FOR CERTAIN GROUPS OF PEOPLE
https://www.cnhfprecision.com/news/6741.html
With the popularity of healthy lifestyles, more and more people are beginning to pay attention to the health of their daily diet. Soda water, as a drink that is believed to help digestion and reduce stomach acid, has been favored by many people. However, not everyone is suitable for drinking soda water, especially certain specific groups of people need to pay special attention.
Soda water, which contains sodium bicarbonate, a natural antacid, can help neutralize stomach acid, relieve indigestion and stomach discomfort. In addition, soda water does not contain sugar and calories, making it a good choice for people who want to control their weight.
Although soda water has its health benefits, it is not suitable for everyone. In particular, the following two groups of people need to drink with caution:
1. Chronic disease patients: Sodium bicarbonate in soda water contains sodium ions, and excessive sodium intake may have adverse effects on the health of patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and chronic kidney disease. Patients with hypertension need to control their sodium intake to lower blood pressure, while patients with hyperlipidemia need to avoid foods that may increase blood lipids. Patients with chronic kidney disease have limited renal function and may not be able to effectively eliminate sodium from the body, thereby aggravating their condition.
2. Patients with gastritis: Patients with gastritis who have low gastric acid secretion may experience increased stomach discomfort when drinking soda water. The anti-acid properties of soda water may further reduce gastric acid, affect the digestive process, and even aggravate gastric symptoms.
Drinking recommendations
For patients with chronic diseases and gastritis, here are some recommendations:
- Patients with chronic diseases: Before drinking soda water, you should consult a doctor or nutritionist to ensure that it will not affect your existing condition. You can choose sodium-free or low-sodium alternatives, such as purified water or mineral water.
- Patients with gastritis: If you do not secrete enough gastric acid, you should avoid drinking soda water. You can choose mild drinks, such as warm water or herbal tea, to relieve stomach discomfort.
