Couldn’t you use some extra energy,
especially if all you had to do was
reach for a bottle or can? This helps
explain the allure of energy drinks.
But no matter how sluggish you
feel, before you guzzle one of these
beverages, you might want to know
what you’re putting in your body.
Most contain caffeine, often in
high doses. Some have more than
500 milligrams of caffeine, which is
equivalent to the amount in 14 cans
of soda.
The caffeine in energy drinks
may give you a boost at first. But
if you’re sensitive to caffeine—or
drink these beverages in excessive
amounts—you may become nervous
or restless. You might even have
heart palpitations.
Energy drinks also:
•
Act like diuretics, meaning they
make you lose fluids. As a result,
they’re not a good way to hydrate
when you’re exercising. You’re
better off drinking water.
•
Are not advised for children or
adolescents because caffeine may
harm their developing hearts and
brains.
