Energy drink: power or death?

Energy drinks are widely popular among young people today. They quickly boost alertness and reduce fatigue. However, behind these drinks lies not just energy, but also health risks.

Positive effects:
1. Increases attention: The caffeine in the drink boosts brain activity and enhances alertness.
2. Fights fatigue: Provides a short-term energy boost.
3. Enhances physical performance: Some athletes use them before competitions.

Negative effects:
Energy drinks contain very high amounts of caffeine, sugar, and stimulants (such as taurine, guarana). When consumed in large quantities:
1. Increases heart rate: Puts pressure on the cardiovascular system.
2. Causes insomnia: Leads to sleep disturbances at night.
3. Creates dependency: Encourages regular consumption.
4. Stresses the nervous system: Anxiety, restlessness, and irritability increase.
5. Raises blood pressure: Especially dangerous for people with hypertension.

Medical cases:
Worldwide, there have been reports of deaths due to heart failure, disrupted brain circulation, or ventricular fibrillation caused by excessive energy drink consumption.

Energy drinks provide temporary strength, but in the long term, they may lead to negative health consequences. Especially children, teenagers, and those with heart conditions should completely avoid them.
