Shocking Health Benefits Of Drinking Cocacola |
Sometimes there’s nothing better than a glass of coke, slice of lemon bobbing on the top, ice clinking.
Although, it’s not always easy to keep away thoughts of just how much sugar and caffeine you’re subjecting your body to – especially your teeth – with every sip.

However, next time someone judges you for reaching for a red and white can of the stuff, here are some medical justifications for doing so.
1. Increase your energy
If you’re all out of energy and in need of a quick blast of sugar to get over that 4pm slump.
Of course, most doctors would recommend snacking on a handful of nuts or a piece of fruit for a more controlled release of sugar into your system, but sometimes you just need a rush to get you going – regardless of the inevitable sugar crash 30-60 minutes later.
2. Focus the mind
Just like your morning cup of coffee, CocaCola offers a good whack of the stimulant caffeine (it’s a caffeinated drink after all).
As the caffeine enters your blood stream, it can spark increased concentration and mental focus, so if your attention levels are dipping, a mouthful or two of Coke could get you back up to speed.
Overdo it though and too much caffeine can leave you feeling jittery and stressed.
