Question:

Which is better for your health Coffee or Energy Drink?

I want to know what is better for your health coffee or energy drink, or perhaps something else that gives you energy and is better than both of them, I know they are both bad if used to much, and please tell me why your pick is better for the health, and if you could tell me the brand you thing is best. Thank you


Answers:

Both are bad, but I'd say coffee is the better of the two evils. Energy drinks contain massive amounts of caffiene. Check the serving size, too- most cans contain more then one serving, so you're getting much more caffiene then you think. Caffiene is a strong diretec, so it dehydrates you (which just makes you feel more tired later!) It also makes your heart beat faster then it normally would, which can cause heart problems. (A friend of mine ended up having a heart attack from two of the big cans of monster energy drink.) It constricts blood vessels, raising your blood pressure, restricting circulation, and preventing enough oxygen from getting to the brain. If you can't give up coffee, stick to dark roasts. They contain less caffiene then lighter roasts, even though the taste is stronger.

Honestly (even though I'm a caffiene addict myself, which has caused multiple health problems) stick to fruit or fruit juice. An apple is just as effective as caffiene for a wake-up. Stick to things that contain 100% juice, not refined sugar. Both caffiene and sucrose will give you a buzz for a short peroid of time, then crash you. Fructose (the type of sugar found in fruit) won't. Its good for you, it isn't addictive, and it will keep you awake without keeping you up all night! Good luck!
