Sparkling Water vs A.A. Water


An increasing number of people these days prefer drinking carbonated water, believing that it is good for digestion and for diet (weight loss). A friend of mine even bought his own soda-maker (carbonator) at home and drink every day. From my understanding, "carbonated drink" contains carbon dioxide. If so, is it true that it is good for our body? The answer is NO. 


According to Professor Chang of Kyunghee University Hospital (Department of Gastrointestinal Internal Medicine), "There is no existing clinical research that proves the special effects of carbonated water in our body." He added, "It is only a temporary change that the carbonated dioxide causes in the stomach." Professor Chang explains that in order for the digestive organ to work well, either the gastrointestinal motility has to be active or the digestive enzymes have to be secreted well. However, the carbon dioxide does not affect both the gastrointestinal mobility and the secretion of digestive enzymes. Then why do
people think that drinking carbonated drinks is good for digestion? 
(In fact, I also remember my friends recommending me to drink a glass of coke or beer when I have indigestion) That is just because whenever we have gas pangs in the stomach, we feel very uncomfortable, and this is when the carbonated drinks cause us to burp, making us feel that the digestion started. Also, some people believe that carbonated
water is helpful for losing weight-which is not proven. Some say that when you drink a glass of carbonated water before meal, you feel full and satisfied, which make you eat less. 


However, this applies to any kind of water or drinks, not just the carbonated water. In fact, carbonated drink could aggravate the gastro-oesophageal reflux and could disturb digestion. This happens when one burps too much as a result of drinking carbonated water, which causes acid reflux, hurting the stomach (from hyperacidity). That is why Professor Chang warns not to drink carbonated water before meal for it dilutes the gastric juice and disturbs the digestion of the food.


Instead of spending more money on buying sparkling water, I would choose rather the proven-to-be healthy water. Proven for its safety and best quality, Biocera's Antioxidant Alkaline Water is filtered with the bioceramic balls that are the world's first and only to be NSF42 certified. Why so special? Unlike the carbonated water that might cause hyperacidity, Biocera Antioxidant Alkaline Water flushes acids in the body. It contains abundant hydrogen to remove active oxygen while supplying minerals such as Ca, K, Na, and Mg that help the metabolism of the body. Moreover, it helps dissolve and excrete bodily wastes from the body. So, why the risk of choosing water that is yet to be approved? Make the best decision. Select what is the best for your body!

Winter Alert! Solutions to Overcome "Super Dry" Skin Aging

 How Do We Prevent Skin from  Drying/Aging?   The core of " wintertime skincare "  is to prevent the main cause for aging-dryness. One of the ways to prevent skin from drying is to use exfoliating gel, peeling cream or scrub to remove the "dead skin cells" on the skin surface. It is important to exfoliate because when dead skin cells stay and are accumulated on the skin surface, it first hinders perspirations, which is the process of eliminating/excreting wastes from the body. Then this leads into skin troubles. This is why many women exfoliate once or twice a week to maintain clear, healthy skin. However,  one should also remember that excessive exfoliation can irritate the ski n. This is because in case of too much exfoliation, newly created cells can be as well removed with dead cells, thereby removing the protective shield or layer of skin. Thus, one must provide adequate amount of moisture and nutrients. Also, during winter, one experiences th...

Find ouf the pH of Food You Eat: Acidity and Alkalinity

The pH scale shows the level of acidity or alkalinity of food/drinks you take, which means when you eat or drink something, pH goes up and down. A pH below 7.0 is said to be acidic and above 7.0 is alkaline. Acidic foods are often rich in sulfur, phosphorous and chlorine and alkaline ones are rich in calcium, potassium and iron. In order to maintain the pH balance, one should refer to the pH chart and make sure to consume foods that are in the mid-range of the spectrum. Also, balancing pH level can easily be achieved by drinking antioxidant alkaline water every day.
