Question: Energy drink questions. (health/side effects)?

(Posted by: SuperDooper on 2010-02-04 11:57:17)

I've been starting drink one Monster or Jolt a day to keep focus during school, plus the crash wears me down so much I can basically defeat my Insomnia and go to bed. - Is one energy drink a day fine? Obviously it's a tad bit unhealthy, but one isn't going to drastically change my body, right? - I'm 15 and still growing, can the caffeine from one drink a day have bad long- term effects on my body or it's development?

Energy drinks are horrible, especially at your age. They contain 32g of sugar and can dramatically increase heart rate making you vulnurable for a heart attack. If you want something to stay focused i would suggest you take N.O Xplode, check it out at GNC.com Hope this helped

It might stunt your growth, the caffeine in coffee has been said to do that, but I think its unproved. Energy drinks aren't great on your heart, its a series of uppers that flood your body with energy, it won't explode your heart or anything, but its definitely not healthy. Tons of people drink several cups of coffee every day, and do just fine.

Energy drinks are a bad idea. They contain many questionable ingredients including sugar, chemical sweeteners (aspartame, sucralose), artificial flavors, and who knows what else. If you lack energy its not because of an energy drink deficiency. I'd look at why you lack energy in the first place. Are you sleeping enough, are you eating the right foods, etc

Of course the bolus of caffeine, sugar, and chemicals is unhealthy. consider a change to your diet -less refined carbs & more proteins. drink more water, exercise daily, and get plenty of rest.
