My advice is that when you decide to start drinking monsters, Rock Stars, Red Bulls, etc., be sure to drink plenty of fluids before and after the consumption of soft drinks. Choose not to hydrate the body causes rapid dehydration and cramping. Caffeine is the main cause rapid dehydration because it will wash all the water that is already in your body out. Be sure to keep in stock a good supply of potassium and magnesium. These two vitamins are also the main targets of caffeine. On the occasions when I have started to drink Monster or Rock Star, I’d take potassium and magnesium pills to help control my heart rate. Before you go to bed or when you get up in the morning, drink a cup or two to keep the body hydrated and be sure to have food in your body or you will get the jitters.
Avoid other sources of caffeine if you are drinking Monster or Rockstar. I’ve noticed lately that there is a pattern in the high school students who drink multiple sources of caffeine drinks. I read a story about a student who had a monster as well as a cup of coffee to start out his day. The end result was that he had heart failure. A girl in high school who avoid warnings on the can, had drunk many cans of Monster and she died of heart failure. My recommendation is that you only drink one can a day, that should be enough caffeine to get you through the day.
If you are playing sports in high school or college, stay away from these drinks heartbeat is already taking pounding from all the running and vigorous exercises.
One important health mind that I want to give you is that if you are experiencing shortness of breath or muscle spasms in the left part of your chest, you get to the emergency room immediately. If you get dehydrated to the point where you are dizzy and feel like you’re going to faint, drink lots of water and be still kneeling by the bed or lay on your bed.
Drinking caffeinated beverages is an alternate source and should be used by a court to increase your energy, but best to have a lasting energy to exercise and eat healthy. For all the high school students who are reading this article, please stay away from these drinks! Your body is young and should be already loaded energy, because of all the activities you participate in high school. For adults, use their skill and judgment when deciding to consume these energy drinks.
