Good morning! I didn’t plan to blog again so soon, but as I was reading an article this morning about energy drinks and their effects. I felt that people need to be aware of the dangers of them. I see so many young people drinking these energy drinks and the high caffeine in them is not healthy for our bodies, not to mention the other ingredients that are added in them that no one really thinks about. I can speak from experience when it comes to high caffeine intake. Years ago when I was in school I struggled with not wanting to gain weight, but I really enjoyed food. In that I had some friends who were taking “NATURAL” caffeine pills and so I thought that would be a good idea to help me keep burning calories and stay thin. I know, it sounds really dumb, but when I was a teenager it seemed like a good idea. I felt wound up and wired all the time, but I grew to be ok with that feeling. What I didn’t realize is what it was doing to my body for the long term. It was one of the things that lead to the adrenal issues I had in 2013. So I didn’t really know of the effects until 18 or 19 years later. Adrenal issues can be a life long issue if you don’t take care of your body, and so my decision 18-19 years ago has played a role in my health in my adult life. I just want people to understand the effects of these energy drinks and how the high caffeine loads as well as the other ingredients in them can create health issues later. So please talk to your kids, your parents, and be aware yourself if this is you. We have one life to live, we only have so many heart beats, so let’s do all we can to take care of the bodies God has given us. I have attached a link to an article about energy drinks that you can read if you’re interested. Until next time…
