Energy Drink and Health Effects

Energy Drinks

Energy drinks, like almost all other drinks and foods that reach the stomach, should not be consumed in large quantities because of side effects they may have on the body

Basically this product is used in special situations and should drink water instead. All well and good, but an Australian study says that energy drinks lead to cardiovascular diseases.

Positive effects of energy drinks

There are some positive effects, the worst is that these drinks are often consumed along with a cigarette!

•  Increases the power of concentration and reaction speed;
•  Person will be more calm and patience;
•  Increase metabolism speed.

These effects can be acquired and if you drink coffee or carbonated beverages, but also their effect will disappear and then you will become lethargic, edgy and to overcome these feelings will drink again.

Should be noted that in comparison to coffee, energy drinks are harmful because of other artificial ingredients that makes your energy to explode.
