Energy drinks were invented in Japan in 1967. Their sweet taste and an opportunity to have fun till the morning helped distribution of power engineering specialists worldwide. Bright advertizing and competent marketing made this product one of the most favourite drinks of youth. But what disappears in "jars with net energy" and what impact power engineering specialists have — you learn, having read this article.
What represents a power product
Power engineering specialists call sweet carbonated drinks which consist of the substances causing stimulation of nervous system thereby, temporarily putting heart, cheerfulness and endurance to a human body. Separately these components are not harmful, and here their concentration and excess of the recommended doses can lead to negative consequences for human health and sets thinking on need of their use.
Widespread structure of drinks and its action on an organism
On the label of the majority of energy drinks identical structure. What it substances and what impact they have on an organism — you learn now.
Caffeine
One of the main components of power engineering specialists. Caffeine is responsible for sudden cheerfulness, increase in brain activity and reduction of a cardiac muscle which appear after consumption of drinks.
Learn whether green, instant coffee, coffee with milk and coffee without caffeine is useful.
Taurine
It is sulfur-containing acid which in small amounts is produced in muscle tissue and bile in a human body and animals. Accelerates metabolism and influences work of a cardiac muscle. Taurine is also used for production of cat's forages, nutritional supplements and medicines. The last researches of this substance showed that the efficiency and advantage of taurine was strongly overestimated.
Carnitine
Accelerates process of cell fission and temporarily does muscles of the person by more hardy. Helps oxidation of fats with an organism, being at the same time absolutely natural substance which has much in common with vitamins of group of V.V to medicine by means of a carnitine adjust metabolic processes in a human body.
Guarana and ginseng
It plants which have the following impact on a human body: strengthen immunity, increase the level of resilience to stresses and adverse effects of the environment and also improve physical endurance. Modern researches of a ginseng and a guarana showed that their influence is strongly exaggerated.
Whether you know? It is possible to add vigor and cheerfulness by means of change of a food allowance: for example, having added to food products with the increased vitamin C content (oranges, apples, a cranberry). The cup of coffee, cocoa or apple and carrot juice will sate an organism with energy not worse than power engineering specialists.
For example, it is proved that high doses of a ginseng render negative effect on a female body: at the expense of the estrogen containing in it, appearance of vaginal bleedings, violation of a menstrual cycle and also increase in sensitivity of a breast is possible. However, that quantity which contains in power engineering specialists unambiguously is not capable to do harm to an organism.
Vitamins B
Group B vitamins (most often it is B2, B3, B6, B12 vitamins) participate in cellular exchange and help sugar from drink will turn into energy. Vitamins of this group are responsible for saturation of an organism with additional energy which is released from sugar. These ingredients — some of the few as a part of energy drinks which excessive consumption does not make harmful effects on health of the person.
Melatonin
It is the hormone produced in a human body. He is responsible for regulation of daily rhythms. Medicines on the basis of melatonin are taken for correction of biorhythms, for example, at sharp change of time zones and sleep disorders.
Important! Caffeine and sweeteners cause organism dehydration. Therefore before and after consumption of energy drinks it is necessary to drink couple of glasses of water.
Matein
This substance has plant origin, it is got from Paraguayan tea — mate. Matein well influences an organism, has anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic effect. In power engineering specialists this substance is added because of the caffeine which is contained in it which has the exciting and stimulating impact on nervous system.
About advantage
Speaking about impact of energy drinks on an organism, it is impossible to tell unambiguously that their use does harm and nothing useful contains in them. It not absolutely so. If to choose drink with the minimum quantity of preservatives and dyes and also not to exceed the recommended dose, then from its use there will be a sense, namely:
- the metabolism will accelerate and the additional endurance will appear;
- the mood will improve;
- the ability to concentration of attention and reaction speed will amplify;
- blood circulation will amplify.
But you have to know that the above-stated changes will happen only due to activation of internal reserves of the person, such improvements have exclusively short-term character.
To feel vigorously do not neglect a breakfast, make morning warm-up, drink fresh vegetable juice, take a contrast shower.
Whether there is a harm?
The structure of most of power engineering specialists, besides the components stated above includes also various dyes, sweeteners, fragrances and other preservatives. Very few people report that they cause violations in work of digestive tract.
Excess of admissible doses of caffeine and the other invigorating components negatively affects work of the central nervous system. Unambiguous harm after consumption of such cocktails will be in the presence of the following diseases and violations in work of internals:
- diabetes;
- renal failure and other diseases of kidneys and liver;
- diseases of a cardiovascular system;
- digestive tract diseases;
- insomnia;
- hormonal failures.
Whether you know? Became the USA the first country which forbade sale of low alcohol power engineering specialists. This law was adopted in 2010. After the USA, such law was adopted in some European countries.
If there is a strong wish
To secure the organism against intoxication and other negative consequences from intake of energy drinks it is necessary to know rules of their use.
How many it is possible?
It is possible to calculate an exact admissible dose of the power engineering specialist, having counted amount of caffeine in its structure. Doctors do not advise to drink more than 300 mg of caffeine a day and 100 mg for once. The drunk morning coffee or tea with chocolate is also taken into the account. Limit consumption of energy drinks to one banks a day.
Rules of the use
If for additional cheerfulness you decided to address energy drinks, read rules of their use which will help to minimize their harmful effects on an organism:
- Choosing drink, attentively read structure. Give preference to options with the low content of sugar and considerable presence of vegetable components.
- After the use you do not hurry to have coffee, there are a chocolate and other products which cause additional inflow of cheerfulness.
- Do not mix with alcohol.
- Do not exceed the recommended number of the power engineering specialist in day.
- Do not drink such drinks for the purpose of thirst satisfying.
You should not forget also about some specific features of a human body: for someone even the admissible dose of such drinks can turn out too high.
Walk, warm-up, music, cup of black tea, fresh berries, fruit and vegetables will help to cheer up on the robot.
Whether it is possible
The use of power engineering specialists is forbidden to children, pregnant women and the feeding women and why doctors of World Health Organization so consider — we will tell you now.
To children
Energy drinks are forbidden children and teenagers, first of all, because of the high doses of sugar and caffeine which are contained in them. At the regular use or, even worse, the excessive use of power engineering specialists — nervous system suffers, causing frequent change of mood and manifestation of aggression to people around, the set mode of a dream and wakefulness is broken, there are failures in work of a cardiovascular system, coordination of movements is broken.
Also in a children's organism the dependence which quite often leads to desire to try heavier substances or medicines (drugs or alcohol) is formed.
To pregnant women and the feeding women
To pregnant women or the nursing women, consumption of energy drinks is forbidden, first of all, because all substances which are their part get to an organism of the kid. The researches allowing to find out real influence of power engineering specialists on children in a womb of mother or in the period of a lactation were not conducted, but the fact that they will do much harm — definite answer.
We advise to read about that as it is necessary to eat a breast and also what vitamins are necessary for future and feeding mothers during pregnancy and feeding.
Whether the overdose is possible?
The overdose by energy drinks can be received easily if not to adhere to recommendations about their use. Supersaturation of an organism stimulators of cheerfulness leads to violation of a warm rhythm, increase in pressure, hallucinations, disorders of digestive tract, confusion of consciousness and violations of coordination in space.
In case of overdose by power engineering specialists it is necessary to perform the following operations:
- To go out of doors.
- To wash out a stomach (for example to drink a large amount of water with activated carbon).
- Milk, cream, rather weak green tea will help to neutralize and bring caffeine out of an organism and also are blown with the increased magnesium content — avocado, cabbage or a semenapodsolnechnik.
- In case of deterioration in the state of health or loss of consciousness — it is obligatory to call the ambulance.
The overdose by energy drinks renders strong load of the cardiovascular system of the person, and the cases which are coming to an end with the death of fans of "sweet energy in jars" are known.
Combination of alcohol and power engineering specialist: whether is though an advantage drop?
One their types of energy drinks — low alcohol cocktails which contain 5-9% of alcohol in the structure (there correspond about 30-50 ml of vodka in each can of 0.33 l). The combination of alcohol and power engineering specialists, most often, becomes the cause of alcohol poisonings.
Important! Some athletes drink power engineering specialists before a campaign to the gym, mistakenly believing that it the physical indicators will improve. It absolutely not so, the power engineering specialist and sports occupations are not compatible, they cause powerful load of the cardiovascular system of the person.
First of all, it is caused by the fact that the main components of such cocktails have opposite impact on an organism: alcohol has the weakening and oppressing effect on nervous system, and the power engineering specialist on the contrary — invigorates and stimulates. It leads to the fact that the brain ceases to control degree of intoxication and quantity of drunk.
In the USA, researches which proved that the majority of cases of violence, robberies and other violations of the law were made by the persons finding in an intoxication stage after such low alcohol energy drinks were conducted.
So as a result
Additional stimulation of an organism by means of power engineering specialists is admissible in case you observe recommendations about their use and also have no contraindications. Competent consumption of quality drinks will help to make active the hidden reserves of an organism in due time, for example, during preparation for examinations or delivery of quarterly reports to the administration.
Do not forget that in addition it is also possible to cheer up also in house conditions, without use of synthetic additives.
