Effects of Coca Cola on your body...
In the first 10 minutes:
10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.)
Within 20 minutes:
Your
blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst from your pancreas. Your
liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get its hands on into
fat.
Within 40 minutes:
Caffeine absorption is complete. Your
pupils dilate, your BP rises, and your liver dumps more sugar into your
bloodstream. The adenosine receptors in your brain are now blocked
preventing drowsiness.
Your body ups your dopamine production
stimulating the pleasure centers of your brain. This effect of Coke is
physically the same way heroin works.
The phosphoric acid binds
calcium, magnesium and zinc in your lower intestine, providing a further
boost in metabolism. This is compounded by high doses of sugar and
artificial sweeteners also increasing the urinary excretion of calcium.
The
effect of Coke's caffeine diuretic properties comes into play - you
have to urinate. It is now assured that you'll evacuate the bonded
calcium, magnesium and zinc that was headed to your bones as well as
sodium, electrolytes, and water.
Within 60 minutes:
As the
"high" inside of you dies down, you'll start to have a sugar crash. You
may become irritable and/or sluggish. You've literally urinated all the
water that was in the Coke, but not before infusing it with valuable
nutrients your body could have used for nourishing your system or
building strong bones and teeth, etc.
This will all be followed
by a caffeine crash in the next few hours. That could be a shorter time
frame if you're a smoker. But, there's a way you can make yourself feel
better.
You can alaways have another Coke!
