And don’t get me started on nutrition, wellness, and dieting or you may not get me to shut up! So that’s why I love it when a reporter wants to interview me. I seem to have a knack for turning “a few short questions” into an hour long conversation! I love it when they end the call with “wow, this is really interesting!” That’s how I know I hit that sweet spot of giving practical knowledge. My lastest phone friend was from the Washingtonian (DC’s top magazine – DCers, you better subscribe). We discussed one of my FAVORITE topics — energy management! Who couldn’t use more energy?! The problem is most of us are going about it the wrong way. We’re hyped up ...

I started drinking it in first-year university, and never looked back. A tiny four-cup coffee maker became my reliable companion right through graduate school. But since I stopped needing to drink a pot at a time, an entirely new category of products has appeared — the energy drink. Targeting students, athletes, and others seeking a mental or physical boost, energy drinks are now an enormous industry: From the first U.S. product sale in 1997, the market size was $4.8 billion by 2008, and continues to grow. (1) My precious coffee effectively has a single therapeutic ingredient, caffeine. Its pharmacology is well documented, and the physiologic effects are understood. The safety data isn’...

Nurses ranked first and doctors second when asked if they needed coffee to get through their day. The rest of the coffee-fueled careers were a mixed bag of white collar and blue collar positions. Among other findings: – 48 percent of those in the Northeast said they were less productive without coffee, compared to 34 percent of Midwesterners. – 40 percent of those aged 18 to 24 said they can’t concentrate as well without coffee. – 37 percent said they drink two or more cups a day. NOTE: The study was funded by CareerBuilder and Dunkin’ Donuts. *This blog post was originally published at ACP Internist* (Source: Better Health) Better Health blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4045096 Fri, 08 Oct 2010 12:00:00 +0100 4045096 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3737133&cid=t_155300_117_f&fid=38158&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.twitter.com%2Famacupuncturehttp%3A%2F%2Famericanacupuncture.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F07%2Fdangers-of-energy-drinks.html It seems everyone today is looking for energy.   They have found the answer in energy drinks, which are becoming their own food group.The true remedy for lack of energy is getting enough sleep and eating right.  Energy drink chemicals have enormous dangers and side effects.   The stimulating properties in energy drinks increase heart rates and blood pressure, and prevent sleep.  People who eat well, drink water, and get enough physical activity and rest will have plenty of energy — the natural way.DANGERS OF ENERGY DRINKSIt seems everyone today is looking for energy.   They have found the answer in energy drinks, which are becoming their own food group.  The drink’s popularity has exploded across the world.

Research showed that “the subjects’ average heart rate increased 7.8 percent the first day and 11 percent the seventh day. Blood pressure increased at least 7 percent the first and seventh days.” So if you already have high blood pressure, this could prove problematic. Researchers were quick to point out that energy drinks are not the same as sports drinks. Sports drinks help “replenish carbohydrates and electrolytes” after a workout. Energy drinks do that. In other words? Choose your beverages carefully. Image: sxc.hu.

If you have high blood pressure, you may want to fall out of love…quickly! A study by Wayne State University in Michigan which was recently presented at the American Heart Association found that the blood pressure and heart rates of healthy adults increased after they downed 2 cans of energy drinks a day. Most of these drinks, of course, are packed to the gills with caffeine and taurine, an amino acid which can adversely affect the heart. The important thing to note about this study is that it was done with healthy adults.
