Are Energy Drinks Safe?

Have you ever needed a boost to be mentally sharp, or to have more energy and less stress?  As a Baby Boomer, I feel like I benefit from better concentration and energy.  I look for an “Edge” to be the best… to perform at maximum potential.  I don’t always feel like I have the energy to watch my 2 year old grandson, but I want to!

So, what is available to help me out?

The marketplace is loaded with stuff to give us energy.  Stop into any convenience store near you and check them out.  But before you make a choice to purchase, consider what that product is actually doing inside your body.  Is it safe?  Is it worth it?

According to statistics published by the US Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in November 2011, emergency room visits associated with energy drinks has increased dramatically.  From 1,128 ER visits reported in 2005, the number has climbed to 13,114 ER visits associated with Energy Drinks.  Read the report.

By reading product labels, I find that most energy drinks have high sugar and caffeine content.  This is concerning because there are health impacts of both of these ingredients on all people, not just Baby Boomers.

• Adding sugar to your diet may not be the best decision for you. Obesity and Type II Diabetes are directly related to sugar in the diet.
• Caffeine in large doses can be dangerous, not just stimulating!  If you have, or are at risk for high blood pressure (hypertention), you need to manage your intake of caffeine or risk serious consequences.

Our lives are stressed to the max!  Why choose to consume a product that increases stress on your body when there are safe, effective, alternate choices?   Here is a link to an excellent wellness product that fits the need to beat mental fatigue and perform at your best! Check out TruBoost.
