today we’re going to talk about the

benefits of energy drinks now in theory

when you consume an energy drink you’re

supposed to have more brain energy

exercise performance more endurance your

cells are supposed to be recharged but

in reality most energy drinks out there

will cause brain fog less exercise

performance less endurance and the

ingredients will deplete your cells now

the big problem with energy drinks is

that the ingredients don’t give you real

energy these drinks are composed of two

main things caffeine and sugar

let’s take redbull for example 8.4

ounces gives you 80 milligrams of

caffeine a 16 ounce monster drink is a

hundred and sixty milligrams of caffeine

a 16 ounce Rockstar drink gives you a

hundred and sixty milligrams

the 5-hour energy drink the real small

one that has like one point eight three

ounces gives you 200 milligrams of

caffeine and guess what caffeine is not

a fuel it’s a stimulant it gives you

this artificial sense that you have

energy but really it’s just revving up

your adrenal glands now the next problem

is the crazy amounts of sugar that is in

one of these drinks one of these drinks

has about 36 grams of sugar that is

crazy

what’s gonna happen is your blood sugars

are gonna spike and then the hormone

insulin is gonna come in there and take

that sugar and push it all the way down

and now you’re gonna be really tired

irritable and grouchy and you’re gonna

want another drink because you need to

actually bring the energy up with

caffeine and more sugar and you’re in

this cyclic trap now you might be

thinking I’m gonna exercise so I’m gonna

be using up my energy my glucose and the

muscles and so I need to replace that

right so I’ll just drink an energy drink

get the sugar and put it back well a lot

of the sugar that is in the energy drink

is not just glucose its fructose as in

high fructose corn syrup as in dextrose

which is synthetic corn syrup or just

corn syrup so now you’re getting a good

that fructose and what a lot of people

don’t realize is the fructose only goes

to your liver it doesn’t go to the

muscles it goes nowhere in your body

except the liver so if you’re not

feeding the muscles or other cells or

your brain it’s not going to give you

any energy at all it’s just gonna be

converted to more belly fat oh and

to miss those as well alright so what’s

the problem you’re trying to solve when

you drink an energy drink you’re trying

to get more energy right well the

question is why are you tired in the

first place are you getting enough sleep

are you taking the right nutrients and

these are the two nutrients that you

need to look for on the back of the

label when you buy an energy drink the

most popular sports drink or energy

drink out there has 270 milligrams of

sodium that’s not the main mineral

that’s going to give you a lot of energy

okay

potassium it only has 75 milligrams

your body needs 4700 milligrams every

single day 75 milligrams is not even

close to giving you a fraction of the

amount that you need and not to mention

of course the sugar these are the main

ingredients of the most popular energy

drink out there you want to find an

energy drink that has all of the

electrolytes okay electrolytes are

electrically charged minerals that help

to energize your cells and I’m talking

about your muscle cells and the nerve

cells in other words these minerals

allow for electricity to travel through

the body now one of the big purposes of

potassium is to help recharge your cells

battery all your cells whole

electrical charge to be able to keep the

heart in rhythm to be able to cause the

muscles to contract relaxed in order to

cause the nerves to transmit so

potassium is the key mineral to keep

that battery at full capacity and

prevent the drainage of energy in the

cell magnesium on the other hand feeds

the mitochondria this is the energy

factory this is where all your energy is

created in your cells and without

magnesium you’re not going to have

enough energy so here’s the thing if you

want the benefit of an electrolyte drink

make sure it has zero Kathy zero sugar

and it’s filled with a good amount of

electrolytes all right thanks for
