Nowadays, there are a lot of functional drinks on the market, and the good and the bad are intermingled. Although energy drinks can quickly replenish physical strength, they also have disadvantages. So what's the harm of drinking energy drinks? Let's have a look.

Functional drinks are designed for people with special needs because of the addition of vitamins, glucose, minerals, electrolytes, lysine, taurine and other ingredients, and have certain anti fatigue and appropriate supplement of calcium, potassium, minerals and electrolytes. For example, people with a large amount of exercise for a long time will lose some nutrients such as potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium after exercise, and functional drinks happen to be supplemented with nutrients such as potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium. Therefore, drinking functional drinks after a large amount of exercise can quickly supplement the nutrients lost by the human body.

However, the amount and proportion of various nutrients in the human body are fixed, too much or too little can not work. They are in a balanced state. Therefore, when the body does not lack a certain nutrient, arbitrarily and artificially increasing this nutrient will destroy its balance, which is not conducive to health, but will increase the burden on the body, thus damaging the health of the body.

What's more, energy drinks contain caffeine, a nerve center stimulant that can drive away drowsiness and restore energy. And if we often drink functional drinks with caffeine, on the contrary, it will have inhibitory effect, so that the nerve center is long-term excited, affecting the normal sleep quality of the human body. Moreover, energy drinks contain more sodium and other elements. If you don't take them for a long time under the condition of lacking trace elements, it will cause problems such as heavy heart load and rising blood pressure.

According to a survey, more than half of the people who drink functional drinks will have different degrees of chest pain, vomiting, increased heart rate, insomnia, headache and other reactions. According to research, long-term consumption of energy drinks is also associated with headache, sleep problems, stomachache and hyperactivity disorder, obesity and tooth decay. It can even affect the cardiovascular system and induce arrhythmia. If taken with alcohol, it may even be life-threatening. Therefore, the functional beverage is only suitable for athletes, fatigue prone people and other specific groups, or under specific conditions. Children and adolescents are in the stage of development. If they drink excessive energy drinks for a long time, their digestive system, kidney, liver and nervous system may be affected.
