Are You Right in Drinking Energy Drinks?
 |
| Energy Drink | Bonafide Urban Chick |
Energy
drinks are dime a dozen and available at practically every general
story. From being used in mocktails to hookahs they have seeped into
our lifestyle quite comfortably. But is that a good thing? Just like
tea and coffee, which boost us, energy drinks have their fair share
of side effects as well.
Lack
of Sleep:
Most energy drinks contain caffeine which is a prime cause of
insomnia. People are addicted to caffeine have a tendency to sleep
less than 3 hours a day, which may help them get more done in the
short run but cause them anxiety, chronic headaches and irritability
in the long run? Lack of sleep has major implications on the basic
functioning and wear-and-tear of the body and is the worst thing you
could put your body through.
Excessive
Nutrients:
Most of us will say “What’s wrong with excessive nutrition?”
Well, a lot. While it is absolutely great if this nutrition is
derived from natural sources like fruits and vegetables, getting it
from an artificial source will lead to your body to put in more
effort into breaking it down and cause the release of more toxins. We
all know that that is not the best thing in the world.
Sugar
Sugar Sugar:
Thanks to modern day research, it is amply known that excessive sugar
in the system is going to do you no good. While it plays a major role
in weight gain, excessive sugar also causes behavioural problems like
impatience, lower tolerance, anger issues and insomnia.
Ginkgo
Biloba:
Most energy drinks contain Ginkgo Biloba, which when combined with
Ginseng (which also most energy drinks contain) can cause heart
trouble and chronic headaches. It’s like saying, the energy drink
is really going to give you a headache!
Dehydration:
Yes, you have the energy drink to quench your thirst, but the
combination of the many ingredients in the drink are the cause of
dehydration. Which in turn will make you have more and more the drink
and amplify the many other side effects they cause. You see the drift
here?
Addiction:
Energy drinks are addictive. So, if you are planning on replacing
your drink with an energy drink at the bar or mixing it with your
vodka, it’s strongly suggested to you to re-think your options.
Energy drinks contain amino acids, which in excess from an artificial
source will cause you to feel light-headed for a bit. The feeling is
great and you will find yourself reaching out for the next can in no
time. When mixed with alcohol which is a depressant, the energy drink
which is a stimulant, prove to have several adverse effects on your
body. The most common of the lot is sudden pain in the chest and
chronic heart problems.
Listen, you could disagree, and I completely support your right to do so! But this post is not to negate energy drinks, but to understand that their consumption needs to be in moderation!
