Not all energy drinks are created equally. So that begs the question whether to energy drink or not? Let’s weigh some of the pros and cons to figure out whether it’s worth it or not to consume one. First off the ones that look like a chemical shizz storm in the ingredient section in my opinion you should eliminate. The more natural the better. Usually these types of drinks use some sort of artificial sweeteners. On a high note, these drinks typically include caffeine, which enhance your ability to focus, concentrate and alleviate fatigue. Some contain the B-12 vitamin and amino acids which play a role in energy metabolism. However the drawback is the typically high caffeine content can lead to insomnia, jitteriness, an increased heart rate, etc. Also the combined effect of both sugar and caffeine can lead to a temporary surge in energy followed by a crash. So the more natural the ingredients the better off you will be. Try to also look for one with a lower amount of caffeine, or simply consume half of the serving to avoid these types of negative side effects while still having a boost in your day.
