Why don't energy drinks have an effect on me?
I hate that drinking red bull or any other energy drink doesn't give me energy. I am drinking a full throttle now in hopes that miraculously I won't be as dog tired as I am. But I have no no real hope. Why is it that energy drinks don't give me energy?
Positive effects of energy drinks?
My answer will be a combination answer of both positive and negatives. First off, the positives: - Yes, these companies strike it rich from teenagers constantly buying and drinking their products. (as you stated before) - Keeps you alert and focused - Non-alcoholic, so this is good that non-alcoholic drinks are becoming more and more popular among teens because it reduces accidents and situations involving the law!, however, for a research paper, you would have to find data to back this idea up, IF it were true, I'm just throwing a guess out there. - They taste good - Some are made in low-carb or carb-free, low-sugar or sugar free, low calorie or calorie-free varieties. Now, the negatives: - People experience a sudden crash and feel tired and weak after consuming energy drinks (after the initial energy rush) - If too many energy drinks are consumed, it can lead to heart problems, or possibly death, as the caffeine rates in these drinks are jaw-droppingly gigantic. - Some teenagers mix alcohol with energy drinks at parties, which is a deathly and dangerous mixture, for obvious reasons. - Without proper diet and exercise, people who are frequent energy drink drinkers can gain weight, as energy drinks have absolutely NO healthy stuff in them, at all! They are LOADED with sugar, caffeine, and calories! - Caffeine can actually become an addictive drug if a frequent energy drink drinker becomes too dependent on energy drinks during the course of a typical day. HOPE THIS ALL HELPED! GOOD LUCK!
What are the effects of energy drinks on teenagers?
Energy drinks are usually not as potent as they would like you to believe. A good strong cup of coffee is considered to have about 100 mg of caffeine. A Red Bull has 80 mg. They are not the one to truly give you “wings.” The biggest problem is drinking many of them.Drink one cola drink daily and you can add as much as 50,000 calories to your yearly dietary intake of glucose. That could add 10 lbs to a person who is not particularly active and capable of working off that many calories. An energy drink might present the same potential.However if you are drinking more than one a day which you could easily do trying to get “wings” from a poorly energized energy drink. So now you are looking at calories galore and only weakly energized drinks. If you are inclined to drink a significant amount of these energy drinks you are not only looking at a dramatic increase in poor calorie intake, but you are asking for some potential problems with the caffeine intake.I had a 18 year old came into my emergency department in atrial fibrillation. The top chambers of his heart were in a quivering mass with no organized movement. This was robbing him of about 20% of cardiac output. It could also develop a blood clot that could travel to the brain causing a stroke. Why was he this way at 18 years old?Apparently his job was to close the local burger joint. While mopping the floor he was bumping a cup under the cola machine, and apparently drinking as much as a gallon and a half of cola with 30 mg of caffeine per 12 oz. that means he was drinking almost 450 mg of caffeine in a brief period of time. That could be a serious amount of caffeine intake. The thing is that it was not something he could tolerate. Imagine if that was an energy drink. So generally the energy drinks are not particularly potent, but drinking in excess is a terrible intake of calories and potentially a significant amount of caffeine.Caffeine withdrawal is real, and may trigger headaches if it is allowed to become a common daily component.
What are the effects of energy drinks on our bodies?
Energy drinks are a combination of caffeine, sugar and water. You may first think that they are OK to drink. But they do have an effect on your body.The sugar provides instant energy, but drains you of energy on the long term. It causes an insulin response and after a few months of drinking them you become hypoglycemic. This means that 2 to 3 hours after the energy drink you crave for it again when your blood sugar is low. That is very good for marketing the energy drink, but not good for your body.The caffeine part is stimulating your adrenal glands to release some extra cortisol, the stress hormone. It will give you energy for a period of time, then you feel a kind of hangover that gets remedied again by more sips from the energy drink. After a few years of that your adrenal glands get lazy. You develop adrenal fatigue, which is an endocrinological disease entity.The simple truth is that if you switch to plain water (without sugar and without caffeine) you do your body a service. If you need some taste to it, I suggest you squeeze the juice of half a lemon, add 8 oz. of mineral water and add a tiny bit of stevia powder for natural sweetening. You got yourself a sugar free lemonade.
Energy Drinks have an Opposite Effect on Me?
Energy drinks have no effect on me either except maybe a slight buzzy feeling for a few minutes. Your body could just be so used to caffeine that it built up a resistance. And then there is the infamous sugar crash. Energy drinks are pretty much all just liquid sugar, caffeine, and maybe a few vitamins here and there to make you think you're doing your body a favor. Sugar crash comes after the sugar rush. You take in so much sugar and yes it energizes for a short time then its gone faster than it came unlike more natural sources of sugar, like fruit, that the body can more easily digest.

What are things I can do to counteract the effect of energy drinks?
Just one a day is probably not going to hurt you too much. But honestly you are trying to deal with the symptoms, not the disease. You need to get more sleep. If you absolutely cannot stay awake in school without an energy drink you need to start going to bed earlier. If you are having trouble sleeping you should start working out in the afternoon so you are more tired. Eating a more balanced diet will help, too. But it is not really necessarily about the sugar. My grandfather drinks a lot of Mountain Dew and Monster energy drinks and crap like that - he had a kidney function test recently and his results were awful. He stopped drinking the soda and energy drinks and they improved - not a TON, but they improved. Granted, he is an old dude and you are still really young but just think about that - the drinks were screwing up his KIDNEY FUNCTION. Start drinking more water, eating better, exercising more and going to bed earlier. Take better care of yourself.
