Are energy drinks bad for you?

Question

The only one I have tried is Monster-low carb version, and I love it. I was wondering if it was bad for you though, and if I shouldn't drink them.

Answer 1

Its a giant dose of caffene so I would not recommend drinking one everyday.... Just once in a while if you need a pick up.

Energy drinks not only make you hyper, they increase your heartrate and give you nervous jitters. So take it easy on the energy drinks.

Answer 2

~energy drink is not harmful to body
one consumed energy drink is to balance with their energy expenditure, so that their energy is balance.

~why the body needs energy
energy is required for all bodily activities including the internal processes going on inside the body. even when we are resting or sleeping. this is known as basal metabolism.

basal metabolism refers to the metabolism that goes on when the body is at absolute rest.vital activities such as breathing, heartbeat, maintenance of body temperature, repair and replacement of cells and growth must continue even when the body is resting.

~how much energy we needs depends on...
-gender
-age
-size
-level of activity

~daily energy needs
since ur display picture shows a girl, thus i will name out the daily energy needs of girls and women.

age 18 -< 30 yrs
activity level- light work, 2550kcal (girls/women)
activity level-moderate work, 2950kcal (girls/women)
activity level-heavy work, 3450kcal (girls/women)

~energy balance
in other words, the energy intake and the energy expenditure should balance. when there is good energy balance, the body is likely to have a desirable weight.

however, when there is inbalance, the body tends to be overweight when more energy is consumed thean it requires. and underweight when is sufficient energy for its use.

YES they are bad for you. They make your heart race and can give you heart palpatations. They make you jumpy and nervous. They are just abd for you and you should avoid them. They are also addictive so do not drink them.
Drink tea instead-- it has a lot of caffeine but its natural caffeine
