However, all they seem to boost is hypertension, or high blood pressure.<\/p>\n
They are even found to change your heart\u2019s rhythm.<\/p>\n
In today\u2019s article we\u2019re going to name some of those drinks, tell you about the scary results of the new study and reveal the most powerful and safest way to boost your energy naturally.<\/p>\n
So-called \u201cenergy drinks,\u201d like the \u201cMonster\u201d and 5-hour variety, have been implicated in a growing number of heart problem-related lawsuits, and several studies are being conducted to determine if there is actually something to worry about.<\/p>\n
It turns out there is \u2013 in just the last few years, emergency room trips due to effects of these drinks have doubled, gaining the attention of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration.<\/p>\n
Studies looking at the timing of the electrical impulses in the heart noted that for otherwise healthy individuals, the rhythm of the impulse changed noticeably after consuming even one serving size of the caffeine-packed beverages.<\/p>\n
Compounding the risk of a cardiac event is the fact that energy drinks were shown across independent studies to increase the systolic blood pressure, or the top number, by an average of more than 3.5 mm\/Hg. For people who drink the beverages regularly and might already be hypertensive, this long-term insult to the heart can be devastating.<\/p>\n
Given that many people have dwindling energy supplies due to poor sleep habits, poorer diets, and a lack of proper oxygen intake, adding the dangerous drinks to the mix of health problems is showing to be (increasingly) very risky.<\/p>\n
The most effective way to boost your energy is, without a doubt, to get a good night\u2019s sleep every night.<\/p>\n
