What are you drinking? WATER 1.The thirst mechanism can be so weak in a person that it may be mistaken for hunger. 2. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%. 3.One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of dieters 4.Lack of water is the # 1 trigger of daytime fatigue. 5.Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. 6.A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page. 7.Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%; it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79% and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water you should drink every day? COKE 1.In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident. 2.You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days. 3.To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china. 4.To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola. 5.To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion. 6.To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes. 7.To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.
it's an interesting fact about coke. i actually saw that coke on toilet thing on tv; i think it's on DIY channel.
H20 is definitely the healthier choice and my choice of drink most of the time, but I give in to my unhealthy cravings for coke once in a while, perhaps once every month or so. I drink coffee slightly more frequently, but what beats tap water? Bottle water is just a rip-off of natural resources, having commodified like that. But soda? Never go diet on coke, only classic.
And this is what happens when you drink a can of coke: Have you ever wondered why Coke comes with a smile? It’s because it gets you high. They took the cocaine out almost a hundred years ago. You know why? It was redundant. * In The First 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.) You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor allowing you to keep it down. * 20 minutes: Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get its hands on into fat. (There’s plenty of that at this particular moment) * 40 minutes: Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dilate, your blood pressure rises, as a response your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. The adenosine receptors in your brain are now blocked preventing drowsiness. * 45 minutes: Your body ups your dopamine production stimulating the pleasure centers of your brain. This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way. * >60 minutes: 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. * >60 Minutes: The caffeine’s diuretic properties come into play. (It makes you have to pee.) It is now assured that you’ll evacuate the bonded calcium, magnesium and zinc that was headed to your bones as well as sodium, electrolyte and water. * >60 minutes: As the rave inside of you dies down you’ll start to have a sugar crash. You may become irritable and/or sluggish. You’ve also now, literally, pissed away all the water that was in the Coke. But not before infusing it with valuable nutrients your body could have used for things like even having the ability to hydrate your system or build strong bones and teeth. This will all be followed by a caffeine crash in the next few hours. (As little as two if you’re a smoker.) But, hey, have another Coke, it’ll make you feel better.
But isn't this like kinda obvious that water is healhier... You must be pretty ignorant if you think "Coke" is healthier
can you really clean your toilet with coke i never heard of this before, i think ill try next time i clean my bathroom
Why restrict your life like that? It's not how long you live, it's how you live. I'd rather die at 60 and eat/drink all the things I wanted, instead of waiting for my death at 90.
Yea but quality of life matters too. Do you really want to die at 60 from colon, bladder, and other such cancers or do you want to live til your 90 and be healthy skinny and look young? Not that I'm saying drinking water will do this for you, but a lot of evidence seems to support that coke is like the modern day version of what the cigarette was in the 60s -- btw who is the girl in your avatar? Is it a celeb?
It depends on what you consider "quality" of life. I think you're talking about living a healthy and long life. I'm talking about living a happy and exciting short life. Personally, I don't want to grow to 90 years old. It's just hard. I used to work in a restaurant inside an old people's home, and it was the most morbid thing ever. Every week there would be a person dying, but the worst was seeing them take all their medicine and needing help from other people. I pick 60 because that seems like a good time to die before the world blows up. If I had all the choices of drinks in the world, I'd pick water if I'm dying of thirst, but if it's just for a refreshment I'd pick a cold unopened can of Coke. And the girl in my avatar? She's just a Taiwanese model.
But you can't possibly achieve happy and exciting life when you got back problem when you're 40... (as Coke weaken your bones) I mean sure you might be lucky, but why take the chance
I guess to me, coke is like a treat of some kind, the caffeine boost is like no other (so is the sugar high, sugar/caffeine crash afterwards) But I steer clear of coke not solely because it's unhealthy, but the fact that the taste get quite repetitively boring real fast -- many times I can barely finish a can. Sad thing is, the same can be said of most soda drinks.
Water over Coke, any day, for me. I knew about the "coke cleans the stains from the toilet bowl" fact lol when I first heard of that I was like, "thats very disturbing.." I dont drink soda though. I drink about 40 oz of water a day at least.. Juice is my weakness though, I loooove fruit juice.
