Energy Drinks Not So Good

According to a recent report by the Associated Press, potential harms from some energy drink may include: irritability, high blood pressure, heart palpitations, seizures and strokes. That's some bad energy.

Last year, the American Association of Poison Control Centers began tracking energy drink overdoses and side effects. Since the study began, more than 1,000 cases have been reported.

While studies have focused on the effects of ingredients like caffeine and guarana, which contains roughly twice the caffeine found in coffee beans, they fail to highlight another concern,sugar. Many energy drinks contain more sugar than a big donut or chocolate bar... A much better choice is a protein shake with the flax seed and chia seeds blend in FitFlax.
