How energy affects the human body

Energy - drinks that increase activity and performance due to the caffeine, taurine and other herbal supplements they contain. They are especially popular among students, drivers and those who have to do without normal sleep for a long time.

Action of energy drinks

A jar of energy on average costs from 50 to 150 rubles. Its taste is pronounced, fruity and very sweet. The product is significantly different from a regular carbonated drink. The effect occurs quickly enough and depends on the metabolism: from 20 to 40 minutes after consumption. But after 2 hours the action weakens, so if the body is really exhausted, it only gets worse.

Manufacturers add vitamins, ginseng and guava extract to the energy industry to veil the reputation of an unhealthy drink. Despite this, the governments of many countries prohibit the sale of certain brands of such drinks if the content of hazardous substances exceeds the norm. We have allowed the sale of power engineers only from the age of 18, although quite recently even children could buy them.

The content of the drink and its effect on the body

1. Caffeine is a substance that stimulates the active work of the brain, heart, and increases blood pressure. Relieves fatigue and drowsiness, invigorates.
2. Taurine - found in humans and animals. Responsible for the normal functioning of organs, muscle function, vision, metabolism.
3. Sugar - breaks down into glucose and fructose. Replenishes the energy supply of carbohydrates in the body.
4. Melatonin is a hormone that regulates our biorhythms. Thanks to him, we are awake during the day, and sleep at night.
5. Vitamins - vitamins of group B are usually added to the energy industry, since their deficiency can cause a feeling of fatigue.
6. Ginseng is an extract obtained from a medicinal plant. Natural, often used in the treatment of neurological diseases, increases immunity, resistance to physical exertion.
7. Guava is a tropical fruit with nutritious, healing properties. Relieves stress, fatigue, hunger.

At first glance, everything is transparent and positive. But do not forget that each of these components is concentrated in one jar of drink and in this form is a nuclear mixture. With their simultaneous use, especially in high doses, the following occurs:

• heart palpitations;
• pressure rises;
• blood sugar level jumps;
• hard-to-recover energy reserves are released;
• increased kidney and liver function;
• detrimental effect on the digestive tract.

The consequences of energy abuse

Each time, the effect of the energy drink weakens. The body begins to get used to them, and the desire to quickly feel vigor and be active becomes stronger. Thus, in order to get the best result, some drink more than one jar of “magic” substance. The nervous and digestive systems are primarily affected by this.

The fact is that not a single natural substance can replace a person with a full, sound sleep. The only way the body is able to replenish energy resources. The power engineer only temporarily masks the symptoms of fatigue, forcing the organs to work with all their might.

In most cases, every second person already has gastrointestinal problems from unhealthy diet, stress and bad habits. The power engineer will only exacerbate the situation. Possible pain in the stomach, exacerbation of gastritis and pancreatitis, diarrhea, nausea. If there are problems with the stomach or intestines, the use of energy is recommended to abstain.

To feel vigorous and full of strength, it is not necessary to resort to the help of energy drinks.For a productive working day, we need:

• Proper, measured nutrition.
• Sport and physical activity.
• Yoga classes and walks in the fresh air.
• Proper daily routine and healthy sleep.

Power engineers will never replace any of these items, but will only aggravate the situation. Do not overload your body with such potent substances.
