Some drinks can really harm your nerve health. Find out which drinks are the absolute worst for your nerves, and your blood sugar.

1) Studies show that some corporately-created fruit and vegetable drinks utilize harmful chemical pesticides on the very fruits and vegetables that are blended into these products. Other research has shown that regularly consuming pesticide-treated fruits and vegetables may increase the risk of respiratory issues and some forms of cancer.

2) Dairy products that are high in saturated fats, like butter, certain cheeses, and full-fat milk, have been shown to increase the risk of CHRONIC INFLAMMATION. This can escalate the pain and discomfort associated with neuropathy.

3) Consuming large amounts of caffeine can cause blood vessels to narrow, thus restricting blood flow to the extremities, which can lead to increased nerve pain. Regular consumption of caffeine may also disrupt the myelin sheath structure which protects nerve fibers, potentially contributing to the development of neurological disorders.

4) Studies have shown that products high in added sugar, including sodas, fruit juices, and energy drinks, can aggravate the pain and discomfort associated with neuropathy. And sugary drinks have been implicated in the development of nerve-damaging inflammation and oxidative stress. Plus, consuming drinks with added sugar can damage the small blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to nerves.

5) Studies show that alcohol can be toxic to nerve tissue, and excessive drinking has been linked to feelings of pain and tingling in limbs. This condition is known as ALCOHOLIC NEUROPATHY. Alcohol also affects the release and function of neurotransmitters in the brain, and can lead to impaired nerve signaling.
