Safe Energy Drink

 

According to many studies, stress is a major factor in over 75% of all illness and disease today. Is there a safe energy drink that is on the market that can counteract some of the stress that adults and teenagers are faced with?

 First let's look at some facts:

• Stress and anxiety caused a 400% increase in work days missed -- 25 days compared to an average of six.
• Stress-related depression is the leading occupational disease of the 21st century.
• Stress contributes to heart attack, stroke, anxiety, and insomnia.

Teens are not immune to stress and in fact become overloaded with stress.  When it happens, inadequately managed stress can lead to anxiety, withdrawal, aggression, physical illness, or poor coping skills such as drug and/or alcohol use. Some common stress causers in teens are:

• school demands and frustrations
• negative thoughts and feelings about themselves
• changes in their bodies
• problems with friends and/or peers at school
• unsafe living environment/neighborhood
• separation or divorce of parents
• chronic illness or severe problems in the family
• death of a loved one
• moving or changing schools
• taking on too many activities or having too high expectations
• family financial problems

We cannot run away from stress, it IS a part of our lives, what can be done to mitigate the effects of stress?  

Adults and teens should reduce the amount of stressor's in their lives.  There are some things that are controllable.  Reduce caffeine intake, avoid smoking, manage your time, become more assertive by being able to say no, accept things you can't change and allow for more fun and down time in your day.

Of course this is all easier said than done!  One way to help manage the internal effects of stress are through 'adaptagens'.  There are some products on the market that can help with reducing stress, however some are loaded with caffeine and are counterproductive for reducing stress.  A safe energy drink that can help with stress is an easy and helpful way to mitigate some of the effects of a stressful day.

Many adults and teens think that a great way to deal with lots of stress is to grab an energy drink.  What better way to keep you alert and functioning to get you through a meeting or a test or sporting event?  Unfortunately these drinks can be loaded with sugar and caffeine and add MORE stress to the body.  Be on the lookout for ingredients such as Caffeine, Sugar, High Fructose Corn Syrup, (some drinks can contain over  60 miligrams of sugar per serving!) sugars will result in a crash later in the day.  Caffeine is a temporary stimulant and will also result in withdrawal symptoms of sleepiness, drowsiness and foggy thinking if you don't replenish.

A safe energy drink will contain adaptagenic herbs such as Ashwaganda, Reishi, Ginseng and  also B-vitamins.  There should be no sugar in the product except for low-glycemic agave nectar or stevia.
