subject: Adverse Cardiovascular Summer Drink Energy Drinks [print this page] The United States Wayne State University researchers found that: energy drink Beverages Cause increased blood pressure, heart rate, and thus have high blood pressure and heart problems danger.
They selected 15 healthy volunteers to participate in the trial as adults, volunteers, the average age of 26 years. The volunteers drank two cans of energy drinks, the emergence of increased blood pressure and heart rate response. After drinking the energy drink in a few hours, the average systolic blood pressure of volunteers increased by 9.6%, diastolic pressure increased by 7.8%, heart rate was 11%.
The study's lead researcher James? Callas said in the report: "The volunteers participate in the pilot sitting in a chair to watch a movie in the case of drinking energy drinks and accept blood pressure, heart rate testing. Although the rise of these two indicators do not necessarily lead to disease, hypertension and cardiovascular disease patients may be adverse reactions. "
Callas explained that most of the energy drinks contain large quantities of caffeine and an amino acid called taurine, both substances on cardiac function and blood pressure are affected. Although energy drinks will make people's attention more focused and more clearly, but cardiovascular function of poor people or do not drink at all.
Another study shows that energy drink overdose energy not only can not increase, but a threat to health. Energy drinks generally contain less of each hearing which 80 mg of caffeine. Caffeine causes the heart rate and blood pressure increased rapidly. Excessive intake of caffeine may cause myocardial ischemia. Experts suggest that the work of busy people can drink energy drinks for their own fuel, but can not drink more than two a day.
Athletes drink energy drink ingredients: In the marathon, the body a lot of sweat and sweat is the main component of water, sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and other minerals. After a lot of sweat, with the loss of moisture, but also lose a lot of salt, the body's electrolyte lose their balance, so that the body of visual and auditory stimuli significantly allergy, the body also decreases the ability to regulate, then simply add water if will backfire Yuehe Yue thirsty, not achieved the purpose of replenishment, and even lead to fever, and calf muscle cramps, coma and other water intoxication symptoms. So add water to drink electrolyte drinks, also known as mineral drink, drink but water, including sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and other minerals and the amount of sugary substances, to correct the taste, add the body's energy consumption .
