Is Your Caffeine Boost Hurting Your Health?
As a nutrition consultant and resident of Florida, I was intrigued by the University of Florida's research study by Bruce Goldberger, director of UF’s William R. Maples Center for Forensic Medicine. In that study, he stated that the surprisingly high caffeine content in some beverages could present problems for pregnant women and children, and for adults with hypertension, heart disease or mental health ailments such as anxiety. “We weren’t surprised that there was caffeine in the sodas and some of the other beverages,” said Goldberger, who is also director of toxicology and a professor of pathology and psychiatry at UF’s College of Medicine. The high concentration of caffeine in some of the energy drinks was surprising because they exceeded the government’s recommendations for cold beverages. The participant's average age was 26. After 4 hours, heart rates incresed by 11 %, and blood pressure showed an increase as well. They concluded that the level of increase may not be critical for very healthy individuals, but those with lower immune systems or heart conditions can experience adverse heart defects.
Have you checked out the prolific amount of energy drinks on the market today, especially in your local convenience stores? What is a body to do when needing a jolt of caffeine without serious side effects?
There is a healthy alternative. When you need an invigorating boost, choose the The Feast SuperCharged. It is an all natural energizing formula with the same blend of superior ingredients as The Feast which has 30 Antioxidant Rich Fruits & Berries, 30 Powerful Greens & Vegetables, 11 Nutrient Dense Seeds, Nuts & Sprouts, 83+ Active Enzymes & Fulvic Minerals, 22 Strains of Resilient Living Probiotics, with the addition of 6 Energizing Berries, Seeds & Leaves. Much healthier and more invigorating replacement for coffee, tea and sugar laden sports, energy drinks!
Don't fall into the "boost your energy trap" by tampering with your health. There is a better way!
