Energy drinks provide a boost of strength and energy. But what about the side effects and negative impact on the body?
Doctor of the HappyDerm medical center Lyudmila Artyushkevich named several safe alternatives to energy drinks.
How to stay energized all day long
There are some tips.
Plan and manage your time, avoid rushing, and try to complete assignments on time. Distribute the amount of work or study materials evenly.
Eat a varied and balanced diet that includes enough protein, vegetables and fruits, as well as foods rich in vitamin D and omega-3.
Maintain a normal sleep schedule by going to bed before 12:00 pm and sleeping for at least 7-8 hours.
Don't forget about physical activity, which helps maintain alertness.
Drink enough water to keep your body hydrated.
Consider alternatives such as green tea and natural coffee, as well as drinks with lemon and ginger, which do not have a negative impact on the nervous system.
Natural energy drinks also include drugs known as adaptogens:
Eleutherococcus;
ginseng;
lemongrass;
Maral root and others.
Adaptogens are natural tonics that have the following beneficial properties:
They speed up metabolism.
They help adapt to extreme conditions such as heat, cold and hunger.
Increases physical and mental endurance.
Promotes calmness and reduces stress response.
Strengthen the immune system and resistance to infections.
Do not contain unnecessary or harmful components.
Positive results from taking adaptogens begin to appear within a few weeks of regular use.
You can also remember an interesting fact: according to statistics, about 58% of people start their day with a cup of coffee, and 7% regularly consume energy drinks. This is done not only because of the taste of the drinks, but also to increase vigor and improve productivity.
You should take a responsible approach to your health, and energy drinks can always be replaced.
