The Most Dangerous Drinks in Hot Weather - Expert Opinion

Sweet drinks in hot weather can pose a serious health risk, provoking a sharp increase in blood glucose levels. Professor Marina Moiseyak from Rosbiotech University issued such a warning.

As reported by BAKU.WS with reference to Vechernyaya Moskva, sweetness with carbonated drinks in cold form reduces the sensitivity of receptors, so a person does not notice how sweet the drink they are consuming is.

Expert Marina Moiseyak warned that this can lead to a rapid increase in blood glucose levels and, as a result, to sharp energy spikes followed by fatigue.

According to Moiseyak, cold sweet soda has a negative effect on the stomach and significantly increases the risk of developing type II diabetes. The specialist recommends preferring lightly carbonated juice-containing drinks with natural sugars (5-7 percent). Such drinks are better absorbed by the body, create a feeling of satiety, and help avoid overeating. However, plain water remains the safest option, reports Lenta.ru.

Dietitian Mikhail Ginzburg shares a similar opinion, who shared recommendations on proper nutrition in hot weather. He also emphasized that in the summer period, regular water is the optimal choice for quenching thirst.
