Several times I asked about the non-alcoholic energy drinks (energotonik). Alcohol in our country is prohibited from 1 January 2018.
If you look at the composition of energotonik, there There is nothing intimidating at first glance.
taurine - a derivative of the amino acid cysteine, which is very essential for the normal functioning of the central nervous system, liver, eyes, heart and blood cells. She is involved in the metabolism of fats and processing, in principle, is produced in the human body. But in terms of its urban stress often enough.
Experiments on mice have shown that taurine menshaet muscle fatigue.
glucuronolactone - a metabolite (metabolite) of glucose, which is a completely natural way, for example, is produced in our body. This is an important component of connective tissue. He, for example, found in vegetable resins.
It is believed that glucuronolactone improves metabolism.
L-carnitine It helps dispose of fat reserves. I have a detailed post on this topic.
Caffeine mateine, theobromine, theophylline - a toning material of natural origin.
Guarana extract, tea, mate - natural stimulants.
Sugars (sucrose, glucose, fructose) or Sweetener.
vitamins - C to the group B.
Adaptogens (ginseng, lemongrass, etc.) - substances that can increase the body's resistance to the adverse effects of external or internal factors.
What can scare the average person here?
- Complicated "chemical" names of certain substances. But everything that I have listed above, it is natural ingredients. Well, maybe except for some sweeteners.
- Dosages of these substances and their effects on humans. However, well-known brands are very serious certification. For example, the European Food Safety Management (EFSA) issued a conclusion that, as used in popular beverages dose of taurine and glucuronolactone for health security.
That there should alert doctors?
- Gassing beverage due to carbonic acid (H2CO3) and simply carbon dioxide CO2, dissolved in water. When taken regularly it leads to damage to the gastric mucosa, and also contributes to the rapid absorption of the the carbohydrates, maximizing their level in the blood, causes a chain reaction with increased synthesis of insulin and etc.
-
unnecessary carbohydrates. Depending on the volume of the jar, in these energotonik can be up to 60 grams of sugar. It is 14 teaspoons. I assure you, you would not be able to drink as sweet tea, this would lead to nausea and vomiting.
Energetonikami But this does not happen, as the phosphoric acid (a well-studied additive E338) which is present in these drinks for the "sour" (acidity regulation), blocks the vomiting center and used as part of an antiemetic.
💣Odnim word by adding this energy "bomb" in your body, you are, of course, cheer up, but after a short period of time will be similar to that of the hare of advertising, which the batteries run down.
👩🏻⚕️YA believe that it is not necessary to hold your body such stress when there are normal ways to improve health: healthy sleep, physical activity, water and proper food is reasonable quantities.
