Although there is growing awareness of the negative health effects of sugary soda, the possibility that soft drinks can increase your risk for serious illness from COVID-19 is sure to get a lot of attention. Is is true?
Some people are pointing their fingers. According to this article on healthiguide.com, the Mexican government’s COVID-19 czar blames Mexico’s high consumption of soda for coronavirus deaths. He cites soda for the presence of diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure in Mexico’s population — all pre-existing conditions that may lead to COVID complications and deaths.
And the last point about pre-existing conditions probably is the most important. One thing that we’ve learned about this virus over the last year is that co-morbid or pre-existing conditions are — in addition to age — primary factors in whether a person who contracts COVID-19 gets seriously ill, is hospitalized or dies. As our site has noted in the past, sugar-laden drinks have been linked to a variety of conditions that are on the short list for conditions that can increase your risk for falling seriously ill from COVID-19. They include:
- Obesity
- Diabetes
- Heart Disease
- And cancer
In many ways, one of the best defenses against the corona virus is being as healthy as possible. And what you consume plays a big part in how healthy you are, and soda — laden with sugar and containing no nutritional value — would not be considered part of a healthy diet.
Because of the addictive nature of the soda sugar high, in the age of COVID-19 it can be more critical than ever that you kick that habit. Syfo can help you make a real change to a healthier you.
