Energy Drinks
Energy drinks have negative health effects, including cardiovascular symptoms, sleep impairment and nervousness and nausea. The side effects are caused by the beverages' high concentration of caffeine. Teenagers shouldn't have energy drinks because it was shown that consuming energy drinks was strongly and positively associated with alcohol, cigarette, and illicit drug use in the preceding 30 days by adolescents. The observed associations between energy drinks and substance use were significantly stronger than those between regular or diet soft drinks and substance use. Personality traits that make a young person more likely to consume an energy drink—such as being a risk taker—may increase the chances that he or she will try addictive substances. Some of the adverse effects reported include liver damage, seizures, respiratory disorders, agitation, confusion, psychotic conditions, cardiac effects and death. Since caffeine is not considered a nutrient, it doesn't have to be listed—so it can be very difficult for consumers to determine how much caffeine they’re ingesting making this a higher risk of a bad outcome. Some energy drinks contain as much caffeine as found in 14 cans of soda. Energy drinks' stimulating properties can boost the heart rate and blood pressure (sometimes to the point of palpitations), dehydrate the body, and, like other stimulants, prevent sleep. Most teenagers use energy drinks as a way to kick to start off exercising, but they should not be used while exercising as the combination of fluid loss from sweating and the diuretic quality of the caffeine can leave someone severely dehydrated. When used occasionally, energy drinks are not necessarily bad for you, but they shouldn't be seen as "natural alternatives" either. All the sugars and added caffeine contained in these drinks has what has long term side affects and is bad for you.Palpitations / tachycardia Tremor / shaking Agitation / restlessness Gastrointestinal upset Chest pain / ischaemia Dizziness / syncope Paraesthesia (tingling or numbing of the skin) Insomnia Respiratory distress Headache
