The Russian doctor, Alexander Myasnikov, spoke about our favorite drinks in the new episode of his program on Russia 1 channel.
He said that not all are useful. Compotes and fruit drinks are high in sugar. It is better to abstain from alcohol at all. But the most harmful cause for humans can be multi-colored sweet carbonated drinks, cans and bottles that fill store shelves.
He added: “It is soft drinks that ultimately cause diabetes, obesity and malignant tumors. It is no coincidence that in many countries they are forbidden to be sold near schools. And this is indeed the path to many diseases, from osteoporosis to cancer, and heart disease. Have fun. What you get from it passes quickly, but the consequences can be very upsetting.”
What can you drink without fear but plain water? Myasnikov talked about the effect of coffee and tea on health. Coffee is good for the liver and reduces irregular heartbeat. According to him, you can safely drink two or three cups of coffee per day.
He noted: “It helps with gout, helps with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis … because it contains more than a thousand biologically active substances. And by the way, tea. Green tea also. It has an anti-cancer effect like coffee, reduces the risk of liver cancer.” .
