Many parents and educators has been faced with the sharp increase in the incidence of the use of energy drinks by children and adolescents, noting that, between the ages of 9 to 14 years their use has become increasingly popular. Usually teenagers make use of stimulant drink outside the home, which results in lack of knowledge of those responsible. The truth is that, while not a beverage, we must realize that its abuse causes harm to the health of small and it is our duty to advise them on these possible effects.
for adults used to taking too much coffee or Coke Cola, it is likely that energy will not cause any side effects. But, depending on the sensitivity or the habit of each, the consumption of this drink can lead to tachycardia (increased heart rate), dizziness, or insomnia, just by the effect of excitement caused by caffeine.
The main purpose is to stimulate energy drinks the brain, so that it enters into a state of alert, until very recently were used only by people who wanted to increase your mental capacity, often due to fatigue and the need to complete jobs or studies, or to increase the capacity physical, whether for physical exercise or increased sink for night journeys, a common habit among young people, who mostly still makes a dangerous mix with alcohol. According to a study by the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) the energy masks the taste of alcohol, which contributes to a higher intake of doses of alcohol and promotes a false sense of well being, where the person feels more “on” and are often able to drive even considering, concurrently with the fact that we have to be a hypertonic drink, which in turn increases the thirst.
Moreover, we can mention the harm to health that energy drinks may have to used by a rapidly developing body and intense hormonal action as is the case of adolescents, these effects ranging from headaches to liver damage and stomach problems, also including changes in blood pressure and insomnia. It should be alert for adults who still keeps the habit of making use of energy, that do not engage in physical exercise when ingesting it, because this drink has pulses racing through the action of its components. Therefore it is necessary that there is moderation in the use of this drink, so that later health hazards do not occur.
