It is possible that by consuming this, your fatigue will go away for some time, but in no time your body will feel even more tired. Not only this, energy drinks are harmful to your body in many ways.
People who consume energy drinks regularly or many times a day, then their bodies start getting damaged inside. From caffeine to extra sugar etc. are included in energy drinks. This is the reason why their consumption is not considered appropriate for health. So, today in this article, Dietician RituPuri of ESIC Hospital, Central Government Hospital is telling you what are the disadvantages of consuming energy drinks-
Body is dehydrated
One of the disadvantages of consuming energy drinks is that they can dehydrate your body. Energy drinks contain a lot of caffeine. Because of this when it is consumed, you do not feel thirsty for water. In such a situation, your body can become dehydrated.
Not only this, the caffeine present in energy drinks affects your kidney's ability to retain fluid. Due to this, the person urinates frequently and there is a lack of water in the body. Generally, we consume energy drinks when a person is tired during exercise or sports. In this condition, the body is craving for water. However, there is even more loss of water in the body after consuming energy drinks.
Increased heart rate
People who consume energy drinks in excess, their heart rates suddenly increase. Such people can experience stress and anxiety. There is a lot of caffeine in it, due to which the problem of anxiety or restlessness etc. is triggered.
Not only this, if you consume energy drinks late in the evening, then it can also disturb your sleep. In such a situation, problems related to insomnia also start troubling the person.
Gaining weight
If you want to maintain your weight, then you should avoid consuming energy drinks. The sugar content in energy drinks is very high. People, who consume it more, have to face obesity and related health problems in the long run. Therefore, it is always advised that instead of energy drinks, you should prefer coconut water, lemon water or buttermilk etc. to refresh yourself.
Dental problems can happen
You might not know, but consuming energy drinks is not good for your teeth either. The high sugar content present in it can damage your tooth enamel. Not just this, the acidic nature of energy drinks can lead to several oral health issues including dental cavities. That's why it is considered best to avoid them.
